Re: Uchi - What to Expect?

If I'm paying that much for a meal for two, I don't expect to be rushed. This is becoming a problem not only with early closures, but also time limits on reservations.

Re: Tipsy Chicken

I've started exploring Tipsy Chicken. Yesterday's lunch was a simple combination of some boneless original chicken and fries. Be aware that this food is meant for sharing, and portions are big. My daughter and I ordered the smallest size of chicken available (seven pieces) and barely finished it. Th...

Re: Detroit

Back in Detroit, two new (for me) finds this time. First, I was in need of quick, tasty lunch in suburban Farmington. Taqueria Victoria worked out well. It's a modest place in an area dominated by strip malls and caters to a lot of constructions workers, many of them Spanish speaking. I ordered some...

Re: Full Speed Chicken & Ribs

I've been a fan of Little Miss since the early days and this is close to work, so I had really been looking forward to Full Speed but unfortunately, my first visit left a lot to be desired. I had put 24 minutes on my parking meter, thinking that was probably more than necessary (I was getting take ...

Re: Full Speed Chicken & Ribs

I'm content with the Roosevelt Row location since it's four blocks from my office. Today's lunch was the Southwestern salad with fried chicken at the maximum spice level, which is milder but more nuanced than Monroe's, and strawberry shortcake. The salad was so filling that I didn't have room for an...

Re: Costco Kewpie Mayo

There's one detail I'm still not clear about, though: Is Kewpie a specific brand name, or is the term more like "sriracha," a generic name for a product that can be made by many companies? I wouldn’t print it without checking, but I’m pretty sure it’s analogous to Kleenex — a specific bra...

This looks like a podiatrist's worst nightmare. I have no fetisha for this feetza.

Re: Costco Kewpie Mayo

It’s not the same as found in most Asian markets. It’s made differently and made in the USA. https://youtube.com/shorts/JUIKEvSzYQU?si=XCZS66fClmFlJihZ Interesting. I've been trying to understand more about Kewpie lately, and this article helped: https://www.bonappetit.com/story/what-is-kewpie Ther...

No jazz.

Instead, it was covers. So many covers. Endless, upbeat covers over a drum machine and synthesizer, covers of songs from the 80s, 90s and to-DAY!
Oh no. That sounds like the sonic equivalent of chicken tikka masala made with a weak spice mix that has no flavor.

Re: Feringhee Modern Indian Cuisine

Except for the musical selections, of which least said is best. With the exception of the gulab jamun cheesecake, you ordered items entirely different than we had, so I'm please to have some new things to try next time we visit. During our visit, the music was classic jazz from the late '50s and ea...
