“Ohh, Nate that looks good,” my cousin Christina might say to me on an average day of watching television, but the question is, really? All those food adds you see when waiting for your program to continue typically show items that look extremely appetizing (many fast food restaurants). The thing is, when you actually go…

Is It Just Me Or Am I Noticing Things?
Now that I am back from my trip in Europe (Prague, Amsterdam, Vienna, Salzburg, and Budapest), I thought of some food related things that really stood out to me in these five cities. Some of these observations are soon-to-be habits that I want to develop at home, but others are just basic parts of European…
Seriously, Ramen…………In Czech Republic?
“Ok everyone, where do you want to go for dinner tonight?” I say. “How about ramen?” replies my cousin Christina (CC), a fan of Asian food. “But, maybe we should try something more Czech-ish. I mean, we’ve already had ramen twice and Vietnamese cuisine once,” I try to explain. “We should still get ramen,” CC…
Originated from Taipei….. Din Tai Fung!
I’m guessing that a lot of you LOVE dumplings. If so, then take one night off and try Din Tai Fung, a famous Chinese dumpling house with exceptionally superb dishes. After you exit this fine Asian style restaurant, you’ll never want to try P.F Chang or Panda Express EVER again. Actually, you probably don’t want…
Ice Monster (Really Is!)
Just think of the words ‘Ice Monster’ while closing your eyes. What images come to mind? Maybe a giant brick of ice carved into a statue of a monster? Who knows? If you looked at my last post, the hint is at the bottom. What is the place I visited known for? Very hot weather! Hmm,…
BANG BANG AT TO-BANG
There aren’t many Korean restaurants like To-Bang, where both the food and service are stellar. If you dine at To-Bang, the food keeps on coming. I mean, just as I sat down, there was already food grilling and appetizers spread out on the table. My favorite types of restaurants are the ones where you…
Sizzler’s Steak House, Just for Kids!
Let’s face it, most steakhouses showcasing divine and delicious steak aren’t meant for kids. Well, on a Saturday night, I gladly dined at Sizzler’s Steak House with my friend Graham Kim and a few others. While many other steak houses produce fine steak, I think that Sizzler’s is extremely special because not only does the…
A Waffle Dog Winner
When you talk about hybrid foods, nothing tastes better than the classic waffle hot dog. On an evening dinner the night after Christmas, my grandmother brought us a real treat, waffle dogs. My mom loved eating KC Waffle dogs as a child, and family run business still caters small events. Dayton, the man operating the machine,…
Local Grinds (Diamond Market and Grill)
Nothing is better than starting your day with a fresh blueberry scone from Diamond Head Market and Grill. Located a few blocks from my grandparent’s house, this destination holds everything from salads to pastries to local favorites. I notice that my cousin Christina especially values the lemon crunch cake and biscuits, so she requested to…
