Demitri's Taverna

A Greek/Mediterranean place.  Decent gyros.  But OMG the garlic butter for their bread!  You'll have stinky breath but it's worth it. SO GOOD. 

Chicago

Food from places I don't remember from Chicago last year. Pancakes are from Cracker Barrel. 

Austin

I'm cleaning out my iPhone photos so there is a blacklog of photos. I don't remember where we at but this was from my Austin trip. 

Got a cob salad at Original Joes at SJC. No good. 

Looked up some diner at Austin on yelp and got breakfast, it was just ok. 

I drove to an Asian plaza and got beef noodle soup.  Wished I had a bowl to eat it out of, it was delicious! 

Went to Kirby Lane which is a place net the tunnel in Austin. Got this salad with a cilantro-ish dressing, pretty legit. 

Went to a mexican place with a whole bunch of people. I got a tortilla soup and some crispy chicken. I remember both being very tasty. 

San Diego: Nobu

I have a very generous friend who treated me to Nobu. I always knew it was a super fancy sushi restaurant but I had no clue how fancy!  Most of the items didn't have prices, just MP for market price. Everything here was delicious!  

We had yellow tail sashimi with jalapeño, yellowfin tuna tataki with cilantro dressing, bluefin toro and uni nigiri, a lobster roll, blacken cod and king crab tempura with ponzu sauce. 

My favorite was the yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño and the bluefin toro nigiri. OMG, the fish just melted in my mouth!  This is what the rich people eat!!

Homemade: P.F. Chang's Spicy Chicken

I found a copycat recipe for P.F. Chnang's spicy chicken. Pretty close!  You can definitely taste the pineapple juice more in the copycat recipe than the real thing. Still good and way cheaper. 

Homemade: Chicken Jook

Tried out my new Dutch oven making jook.  I think I'll stick to a regular pot next time since the rice got stuck to the bottom. Green onions were from my balcony. 

Olleh

Jennifer and I went here for lunch one weekend.  We got two rolls, the screaming potato and I think the other one was some sort of dragon roll. Pretty good!  Then we got a combination tofu bowl because Jennifer wanted all the Korean sides. Pretty delicious. The tofu could have used a bit more salt. Another negative was that the shrimp was tiny!  Definitely better than Katana down the street.
