Yesterday, I talked about Locust Tsukudani. Tsukudani is a Japanese cooking method of cooking meat, fish, or locust by boiling them down with soy sauce and sugar. This is a definite Yellow Neck dish. Don’t expect your urban friends to be eating this. Only those who qualify for YN eat this [...]

Wednesday, I worked late. I got out of my office at 9 p.m. I was hungry. I debated whether to eat hotdogs at home or stop at some fast food restaurant. Then I just remembered that yummy looking commercial of the new Whatachicken. So I stopped at a Whataburger and [...]

It was the second day of our spring recess, the last day for our manager/coordinator. (She is moving on to a better position.) So we decided to take her out. It was a beautiful day, so she wanted to go to a restaurant where you can eat outside. We went to [...]

When my friend from work suggested to eat some Mexican [...]

She and her husband DM, [...]

We’ve been to Tequilla Willy’s (1055 Bay Area Blvd) twice. They offered decent food (TexMex) and good service. It was for Sunday lunch both times. First time was really good. We ate from lunch menu (around $5.00 – $6.00 per plate) and kids ate free.
Well, and we went back a few [...]

Last night, it was the biggest disappointment of this trip. The restaurant is called Jacmel Inn. Jacmel Inn is located in this old renovated house.

Well, it has a nice atmosphere. I would take my date there if the food is good. This could be a really romantic dinner. But I [...]

So after we froze our tails off at Mardi Gras, we went to a restaurant called Brady’s. It was very much a college student hangout spot. It was crossover bar and a restaurant.

I ordered Shrimp NuvoLari ($9.50). It is basically shrimp pasta with red sauce plate. It was a big disappointment. [...]
