THE LOBSTER LADY - Great lobster rolls from one of the first food trucks I've had in Phoenix. That scene in Phoenix (and in general) is becoming more popular.
THE MIM CAFE - Surprisingly, the MIM (Musical Instruments Museum) Cafe had some really great food. They have a changing menu and often source locally.
SEARED PORK BELLY - First attempt at making this at home. Ran out of time to brine, ran out of time to marinate, ran out of time to braise. All things considered, it actually was pretty good. But now I know better for next time.
VEGAS - OK, not really a food discussion, but it was our annual Vegas trip. Although there was good eats, this was just ridiculous. That's right, we had our own private mancave to watch all the first round games, complete with open bar, open buffet (lots of meat to share), and our own private attendants. Hard to believe but there's a fourth TV to the right.
MIU'S CUISINE - If you've heard people say the best Chinese food can be found in a location that looks a little scary, this is a perfect example of that.
CHOU'S KITCHEN - Perfect example, part II.
BRAISED LAMB SHANKS W/ GNOCCHI - Better than the pork belly.
