You hear of good sushi places all the time. And if you’re like me, you have a bit of skepticism. But when it came to Saru Sushi, it wasn’t how many people said it was amazing, it was who, plenty of fellow skeptics and food snobs. And after coming here, I get it, it’s good. It’s...
It may have been over a decade, but I can finally scratch this place off my list. The Salt Lick is a place that’s always been on my mind when I visit Texas. This time we were in Austin so that 45 minute drive out to Driftwood didn’t feel so bad. And sure, there’s some...
Little Tokyo is brimming with new restaurants and attracting top talent from around Los Angeles. One such place was the new restaurant Simbal, a place that serves up playful Southeast Asian cuisine inside a nice and open floor plan. You can see the chef himself, Shawn Pham, managing the kitchen.

Now, it was my turn to return the favor. And after dining here, I understood why everyone was so excited. It’s a great...
I looked out of my office window today and saw JapaCurry. A food truck I heard about and being that I love Katsu Curry, it was on my list. And with them sitting outside the office, I had to run down and give it a try. It’s your typical food truck. Order in one window,...
