Ozumo in San Francisco. It’s a restaurant in the Embarcadero area. Running around with the GRSF manager, Luke, this is a spot that he knows about. This was fish with a thin bacon covering. I forgot what kind of fish, but perhaps a halibut. The flavoring was strong from the bacon. The mushrooms buttery. Ozumo.comThis was a medley. There’s crab on the left, but on top nearly covered is a tiny squid that’s quite rare. They removed the eyeballs, but other than that, it tasted quite nice. I could have eaten a lot more of them. They suchi is crap and scallop. The “thing” with the red dot” in the middle. I had it before, but I forgot what it’s called. I almost think it’s a fish egg cluster, but I’m not sure now. Two kinds of snappers. Red on the bottom, the top is black snapper. Both are more tart and refreshing. These after came after the below pieces. Guess what the top piece is? It’s Kobe beef in sushi form. It was quite great. Super rich. It goes well with the toro, which is also quite rich. I started with the toro of course, before hitting the Kobe beef. Definitely the right way to go. I didn’t hear the description of this one, but it’s pretty for sure. It was something like a California Roll with some Unagi on top. The mint actually serves a perfect purpose of adding a little bit of something to the sauce which had some spice to it. It was their most hybrid sushi dish that we had. Ribs. From the kitchen, this is over the top. The slaw was good too. Glad they didn’t put peanuts in it. It seems like something that would have too many peanuts ruining it. This is Luke, yes, we down ramen too earlier in the day. You must think all I do is eat, but that’s not the case. I remarked that Luke looks like Mario. Imagine the overalls with a different color hat. Yes, Mario.

I saved up some food pictures. My only female cousin on my mother's side is married with a kid. Sophia is 1 years old. Sophia is half Japanese and half Korean. There's two sides of the family, and although everyone's cordial, no one really knows who the other folks are. Yet, everyone smiles at each other.I thought these candies were quite funny. I don't think I'd dare eat these, ever, so I didn't...
I saved up some food pictures. My only female cousin on my mother’s side is married with a kid. Sophia is 1 years old. Sophia is half Japanese and half Korean. There’s two sides of the family, and although everyone’s cordial, no one really knows who the other folks are. Yet, everyone smiles at each other. I thought these candies were quite funny. I don’t think I’d dare eat these, ever, so I didn’t take one of these with me. Sometimes, simple family events are cool, especially when it makes everyone happy even for a while. Are these real m&ms? I have to figure out where to get these made. Tortilla Grill. It’s on Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice. I don’t go there often, but when I do, it’s pretty good. That’s a chicken and fish taco. It’s Westside Mexican food, but it works well. This is a fish salad. It comes in a tostada bowl. This is real Mexican food, right? The bowl is better than the chips, which were stale. Underneath is black beans. Get the agua frescas if you check this place out. Sam Woo shrimp dumpling noodle. It’s simple and good. I think this works as comfort food. For those of you in Asia, don’t laugh at me, this is the best we can get.

In NYC, there's plenty of pulled noodle places, but unlike LA, which is heath department conscious with the infamous grades that can shut you down. NY doesn't have this, and I wonder if they even have a health department sometimes. However, if they did, you wouldn't have experiences like the one at Fuzhou pulled noodles. The guy above does this in the eating area. It's grand and cool. It even...
In NYC, there’s plenty of pulled noodle places, but unlike LA, which is heath department conscious with the infamous grades that can shut you down. NY doesn’t have this, and I wonder if they even have a health department sometimes. However, if they did, you wouldn’t have experiences like the one at Fuzhou pulled noodles. The guy above does this in the eating area. It’s grand and cool. It even makes a great slam sound. He does it over and over and it turns the place into a cool environment. You get something like performance art. The #1, beef noodle is 4.50. It’s simple in flavor, maybe too simple to the point that you’d add your own seasoning. It’s not the dish to get. Jya Jya Men is the one to get there. #11. I blew it, but I was in the mood for soup. It’s cold in NY right now. That’s what the noodles look like. I’m hearing this isn’t the best place to get handmade noodles, but at the same time, it’s not bad. The broth doesn’t match the noodles and that’s important. What’s noodles without the soup? 144 E Broadway. It’s in Chinatown Manhattan. I’m sure an OG Queens native would scoff at this.
