This was one of our first stops in Las Vegas, getting in close to 10pm and catching a bit of a break with seating. It sat inside the Venetian, tucked into the Grand Canal Shoppes area, which already set a different tone from the rest of the Strip. It felt more removed, a bit quieter,...

Uchi was a great place to settle in for a fun and creative omakase. It felt very consistent with the Austin location (sorry, I never did a write up), which made it an easy yes when I saw they had opened in Houston. There was a familiarity to the experience, but it still held up...

I met up with my friend after work and we were in search of something good, no… something great, something posh. It was a tough week at work and being two people who can appreciate a good meal and atmosphere that comes with it, this was the place to try. Went with the most expensive...

They weren’t just beautiful, they sounded like the combinations worked. And when I started seeing the wagyu katsu sando appearing on their menu, we had to...

Friends were in town, so you know what that meant. It was time to eat and eat well, especially when these friends are your food loving friends. No, I wouldn’t call foodies. They don’t go seek out the next novelty bite. They simply depend on the culinary history of the chefs or their protégé to...
