The Deli Cafe at Meritage – Columbus, GA


Black and Blue Salad – Where else can you get filet mignon for lunch for under eleven bucks?? Spinach Salad – Gorgonzola crumbles and warm bacon vinaigrette! Yes, please!! Espresso Chocolate Cake with Buttercream Icing AND… Real Heavy Cream in the coffee!!!    

Borobudur – San Francisco, CA


Never been to an Indonesian restaurant. Of course having a Indonesian friend helps. So we went to try out. Of course I let him ordered our dinner.   Overall, excellent dinner. We ordered lots of goodies, and they are all worth it.

The Crab Pot – Seattle, WA


As seen on Man v Food! Their menu. Got “The WestPort”. “Weapons of Mass Consumption”! Sourdough bread, corn, dungeness crab, snow crab, shrimp, clams, Pacific mussels, ouille sausage, and red potatoes. They just pour it out on the table, and you dig in! The shrimp was ok, but everything was excellent. What a nice experience!

Sushi Land – Tukwila, WA


Haven’t been to a sushi boat restaurant in a while. Think of it like Japanese dim sum. Nice open space. Their menu.   The sushi chefs. Started out with this. Calamari. Ended up like this. All for about $15. Very reasonable.

Hue Ky Mi Gia – Kent, WA


Went to an area with a lot of Asian restaurants. Had a big meal for lunch. Needed a light dinner. Their menu. Had the Vegetables & Tofu Egg Noodle. I was disappointed that there wasn’t much noodles, but that’s what I wanted.  

Berliner Pub – Renton, WA


Never been to a German pub before. Nice logo. Their menu.   Now that’s as German as you can get with German beer, housemade German foot-long beer bratwurst, sauerkraut, German potato salad.   The Berliner Pub on Urbanspoon

Sunny Teriyaki – Tukwila, WA


Another restaurant by the office. Two words: Large potions! Three more words: Lots of sauce! I got the vegetable donburi. There was so much food, but so good. My only gripe is that they use a lot of teriyaki sauce. Their yakisoba is no exception!

Lemongrass – Renton, WA


  There are a lot of Vietnamese restaurants, and of course pho is on the menu. This was another restaurant by the office. Happy Buddha smiling over us.   Have the “Special Pho” with beef brisket, flank and tendon, scallion, basil, and bean sprouts. Standard. I wish the tendon was softer.  

The Keg Steakhouse and Bar – Tukwila, WA


It was near my hotel, and my coworkers loved it. So got try it for myself. Got the New York strip with a peppercorn crust, served with a salad and more veggies.   Gotta finish off with the best carrot cake I’ve ever had!   Overall, must come back again!

Cowgirls Espresso (Moo-Licious Espresso) – Tukwila, WA


Found out about this place (http://www.cowgirlsespressonw.com/CGE%20Moo%20licious.htm) from an episode of “Extreme Fast Food” on the Travel Channel (http://www.travelchannel.com/Places_Trips/Travel_Ideas/Food_And_Drink/Food/Extreme_Fast_Food). Can’t help but try their coffee. I must say, they make great coffee!

Nothing starts a weekend off like a home-cooked breakfast. A cheese omelette, cheese grits, bacon, biscuits, and coffee give you the energy to take on the day.

Ti Piacera – San Francisco, CA


  Visited a friend and he took me to his go-to Italian place. Cannot pass a recommendation. Their menu. Tomato Basil soup. Standard, but fresh and tasty!   I’m from California, and we love our “all-natural”, “healthy” food. So I got their “Whole Wheat Spaghetti con Pollo”. As the name says, it contains whole wheat [...]
