Something Delicious

Their menu is amazing! The idea is you order several dishes and share. That night we had the Grilled Pear Salad, Sweet Corn Fritters (on jalapeno cream cheese), Mac n Cheese that had some kind of chorizo in it, the fries and nutella, and Chermoula Marinated Chicken. It was fantastic!

Dont be sorry that is what this thread is for!

I had such a foodie weekend and the site was offline and I have no idea how long it would take to recount the weekend food adventures.

It is exhausting just thinking about it.

Oh..and I have friends that are travelling and call me from NY, Japan..wherever to tell me what they are eating.

Foodie central here.

Bring it.

Are you all on Yelp? I find Yelp to be very cool and helpful when travelling.

Here is the listing for Feast, San Antonio.

Another link for one of my favorite sushi bars, RA Sushi in Scottsdale, AZ. amazing food, sexy lighting and interior, plus they play R&B music. Score.

This is my fav place for excellent Mexican food, Barrio Cafe

Check out the reviews of your favorite places.

Oh my, so much happening here!!! SO happy to have the site up and running again and read about all the amazing foodie things...

I have company this week, thus my absenteeism... BUT, still much food things going on.

I have been focusing on salads lately... diet and all... and loving it.

My friend brought her recipes, she made us bacon wrapped sweet and sour meatballs. Was a very interesting dish, and quite enjoyable.

Friday is wine tasting and tour at the Westport Winery close by. I shall report back after that.

GASP!!! did you really use that four letter word in here where us gourmets come to escape and share decadence? Shame on you! lol

Fuck diets. I say be healthy.

In my attempt to do this I have majorly increased my vegetable consumption. Speaking of salads I can make a salad from anything. I've been eating a lot of onions and mushrooms which are great for you and help with weight loss. I don't feel bad about eating olive oil. butter and ghee and use it a lot when cooking my veggies. So I might have a huge plate of roasted, stirfry, grilled veggies and a little small portion of meat.

Hola from sunny Scottsdale, AZ where it once again looks and feels like Arizona. Good Goddess that cold front was frustrating.

So this past weekend when the site was down, I had the good fortune to go to a "Food Truck Festival" in Phoenix. It was awesome. This is an event hat I consistently have missed in other places like CA where I am usually working when others are dining out.

Food Trucks as you may have noticed have not just made a comeback but many have taken cuisine out of the restaurant and on to the road, which is what I love about them. Many keep the prices low making the food accessible to a wide audience.

Many trucks featured up to 5 items, some featured one or two and a handful had a huge menu.

Some of the highlights of the Phoenix event were:

~ BBQ trucks specializing in: KC, Memphis, NC, TX styles as well as local award winners in ribs and pulled pork.

~ A Noodle truck with fusion noodle dishes. Fresh noodles.

~ Tandoori Truck - Fascinating

~ Jambalaya Truck with Andouille Sausage as a feature

~ Roasted Corn in the husk truck. Always a hit with me in the south.

~ San Francisco Crab Roll - Deep fried and covered in a sweet chili sauce

~ Kettle Corn Truck with cooking demo on the ground.

~ My favorite - a local Dairy had an ice cream truck and served organic, fresh ice cream, warm bread pudding, and apple pie. 3 of us got 3 desserts and shared them. The Salted Caramel Ice Cream was my favorite.

The there was a wine tasting event. This is where I went off course. I really am not a drinker so I forget that when I drink anything it catches up with me fast. They had CA wines and Domain Chandon Champagne which was awesome. The rose' was especially good. Then there was a chocolate port that was insane. I cant recall the name of that one but will find it.

After the feasting and drinking we all needed coffee and not one truck had coffee. Seriously...we were shocked. Starbucks was too far to walk to so we hung around until one of us was qualified to drive and then pounced on the nearest Starbucks. All in all a fun day.

More food stories to come..it was a foodie weekend for sure.

OMG fabulous. Looks like the Nutella dip was smooth, That is what I was wondering. I bet they blended the onions into it. Fascinating.
