I'd never been to a hibachi style restaurant prior so I have nothing else to compare it to but I was very impressed with the visuals and atmosphere but most importantly the taste was great. Making a steamy onion volcano from layers of onion stacked was cool, and it tasted like biting into a crispy parsnip, very sweet.

Also their sushi was fantastic, some of the best I've ever had. At least, certainly the best unagi I've had.

I saw that featured on "You Gotta Eat Here", it's a shame the host goes totally homosexual towards anything unhealthy for the sake of being hip, but it looked like somethin else that's for sure.


Anyhow tonight I went out again to David's Bistro again in London. We were served by David himself throughout the evening, very nice man and I had no problem paying the $67 pricetag for the dining experience b4 tip (which for two people for fine dining is alright, no wine pairings though).

I ordered the 3 course special which came with a mushroomy lobster bisque for appetizer, with a white wine drizzled in dots on the surface that paired very nicely with the seafoody build of the bisque. Entree was a flank steak over ratatouille, which was amazing. The dish looked beautiful too, 6 perfect cuts laid out on the bed of veggies with some neat looking potato fingers peaking out. That steak was marinated in something out of this world, goddamn. It was topped with a slice of parsley garlic butter which melted into everything on the dish. Finally, for dessert, a fig butter tart with (savoy?) icecream and some berries around it. The plate was a work of art and the taste measured up exactly on par with it.

Lindsey ordered an herb crusted lamb chop with a potato tart and mushroom jus which was top notch aswell, but my 3 course meal came to the same price so I think I lucked out

A pricey night but man was it good, I'd definitely go back. The owner was an awesome guy, he made sure to make the night enjoyable for us. One of the finer meals I've had in awhile.

Wow, that sounds delicious spenner you and your gf's meal both I honestly can't say which I'd prefer over the other. You just can't go wrong with properly made steak or rack of lamb, I just hate that it's not good for you to eat all the time. I tend to always be stuck between deciding on sushi, steak, lobster, crab or lamb lately and am really trying to figure out what else is as creme de la cremey

Taco Bell is a pretty cool guy

Exactly what you'd expect out of a Subway. Subway/10.

The only hibachi-style restaurant I've eaten at is Hananoki. It's one of my favorite places to eat. I usually get the samurai dinner, which comes with steak, chicken, and shrimp. They taste amazing with soy sauce. Also, they put this ginger dressing in the salads, which is also really good.

Coffee Plus

A small mennonite run sandwich place and bakery on the way to my cottage. Really really simple like the ham & swiss sandwich I got, but every ingredient was really fresh and awesome. A lot of mayo and a homemade honey mustard which was really sweet between a crisp layer of lettuce. Good sandwiches~

Some random ass McDonalds. 0/10 for messing my order up when we were on a rush to get home. Why I hate them so much.

Culver's - I ordered a mushroom and swiss burger. It was good. Not great, but good. The patty kept sliding out of the bun though, which was kind of annoying... but its right outside the movie theater so it was close by since I saw a movie right before. I don't eat there that often cause like I said, "good, but not great." 4/10

The convenience of fast food (poison) is a terrible thing. I no longer eat at even whataburger it's just so bad for you. Chik fil a on occasion because they cook their food with peanut oil and have no trans fats.

I guess ill write another review I was feeling kinda lazy but what the hell.

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen Dallas, tx

I ate here last night. For those of you who are unfamiliar, pappadeaux's is a top notch seafood restaurant. Think red lobster, but way higher quality. Pappadeaux is always busy and the smell of amazing seafood gets anyone's mouth watering who is even mildly hungry. On your left and right are tanks filled with live lobsters ready to be cooked to your satisfaction. All the seats are decorated with white table cloth and wine glasses giving a very classy feel and a very popular date location.

I was feeling steak and lobster (big surprise) as opposed to the crawfish combination that I usually get (it's to die for). Here's a pic of it somewhat I forgot to take a pic before eating almost all of it but there's a piece of steak and lobster left lol.



I ordered the steak medium but it came out medium rare. I had my server take it back to have it fully cooked and then it came back slightly medium well. Oh well, it was still delicious and with a piece of lobster and green bean in every bite I no longer had any complaints. The lobster was prepared perfectly, very flavorful not gamey at all like lobster can be when not prepared right. It had a tender chewiness to it and was melt in your mouth good when mixed with the lemon butter. Despite what the picture shows I had plenty green beans was just too full from the bread and rest of the meal. Choosing a wine was somewhat difficult for me given the red meat/seafood combo. I ended up going for a Cabernet which are usually my favorites called decoy and it went perfectly with it. Overall the meal was fantastic to no surprise and I have been craving more of it all day. I have yet to be disappointed with anything at pappadeaux which is why it earns its spot on my top ten favorite go to restaurants when you're feeling like treating yourself without overdoing it. Pappadeaux's is a must for seafood lovers I give it 9/10

Also, for the burger fanatic try this burger sometime it's my special recipe.

Grass fed angus, tomatoes, onions, lettuce and mild cheddar, and then spread the buns evenly with apricot preserves. In this pic we had tried it with havarti( wasn't my choice) and it wasn't my thing the cheddar definitely brings out the sweetness of the apricot more. This burger is seriously one of the best easiest things to prepare and it is unbelievably good. I call it a Hawaiian burger. Something about the balanced sweetness makes the name fitting to me.

Chef Chu's - A co-worker suggested we should order Chinese for dinner and we did. I got shrimp with sizzling rice, wonton soup, and crabmeat rangoons. I've never tried "sizzling" rice before, so I felt adventurous and tried it out. It wasn't bad. There was way too much vegetables and not enough rice. The sizzling rice was unique. It basically tastes like fried rice without the egg. My co-worker ordered dynamite rolls, and let me try one, and it was amazing. I won't order what I had again, but I'll know to get dynamite rolls for next time. Its definitely not the best Chinese food I get, but its close to work so yeah. 5/10

Gracie's (Providence, RI)
As a man who has eaten at nearly every restaurant of note in Rhode Island, this one is the best.

They are known for their 3-, 5-, and 7- course tasting menus that serve really interesting new combinations of flavors. Between their commitment to local farmers and their own rooftop garden, the ingredients are always fresh and top-quality. What tips it over the edge though is the service. It's amazing being able to ask a waiter, "what is this?" to which they reply not only "it's passion fruit-yuzu sorbet" but also what a yuzu is (it's a highly sour citrus fyi), where the fruits were grown, and how the sorbet was made on-premises.
Oh and just ask and you can tour their (huge!) kitchen. Chef Matt Varga is a real nice guy and will not only come out to your table to say hi, but take you into the kitchen and show you some awesome toys. (They have an "anti-griddle" that flash-freezes anything you put on it, for example, and a substantial vaccuum packaging machine used for, among other things, compressing chopped melon into delicious sweet blocks)

If you are ever in Rhode Island and need to eat somewhere classy: Gracie's.

Caveat: the place fucking expensive. Around $60+ per person without drinks, easily $150+ apiece if you start breaking into the wine and foie gras
You probably figured that out by now though
If you come during Providence's Restaraunt Week (going on now!) it's really cheap though, you can get a 3-course meal for only $30 and considering how fucking good the food is, it's a steal.

Bump. I ate at Chef Chu's again today and got ripped off. They messed up 2 of the 3 things I ordered and overcharged me for 2 of them also. I ordered dynamite rolls, small pineapple fried rice, and general chow's chicken. They told me the total was $30, so I changed my order from general chow's chicken to crabmeat rangoons since it was cheaper. So they told me a new price which was $20. So when they delivered it, what I got was dynamite rolls, a large pineapple fried rice and general chow's chicken. So the bill was $30 after they told me it was $20, which I have a feeling they did that on purpose since I changed my order since $30 was too high, and they said my food was already done when I wanted to change my order, which I thought was fascinating considering how I ordered 2 minutes before. There was no reason they couldn't change my order, and to overcharge me on top of that. Will never eat there again.

For the food: 7/10
For the service: 0/10

Red Sushi & Hibachi Grill
Kemah Boardwalk; Kemah, Texas

You can either enjoy the dining area and have the food cooked in the kitchen or have the food cooked in front of you at the hibachi grill. I go to the dining area because the only place I enjoy hibachi is at Ichibon Japanese Seafood.

I mainly go there for the sushi. It is delicious!

My last visit, I ordered the usual Kemah Roll and the Crunch Roll. I changed up my main dish. I went from the Hibachi Lobster Tails to Seafood Tokyo. It was SPICY, but good. Only ate about half of the Tokyo dish before I gave it.

Kemah Roll: Snow crab, cucumber and avocado topped with tobiko
Crunch Roll: Shrimp and crabmeat tempura topped with crunchy crab mix and eel sauce

Seafood Tokyo: Shrimp, scallops, calamari and vegetables tossed with udon noodles in a spicy chili sauce

10/10

What is this supposed to even mean... You can find the best of the best of anything in Texas for food. The highest zagat rated restaurant in the world is in Dallas. You act like we're all riding around on horses down here or something.
