Houston: Houston Uchi Opens Feb 2
… but they start taking reservations today! I used to cover the Houston restaurant scene for a luxury magazine, and let me tell you, competition is fierce in one of the fattest cities in the nation. I say that lovingly, as I think Houston is one of the best cities in the nation if you know…
HCG Diet Day 21
Well, I weighed in the same as yesterday. I look and feel good but cannot break this weight!! UGH!! You have to take the last three days off from taking HCG, and I took it this morning, so I’m at least extending an extra day. Will see how I feel, if I feel like I’m…
Austin: Uchi the Cookbook Released!
Uchi Chef and Owner Tyson Cole pretty much owns sushi in Austin, but it’s not just sushi. He has a creative, innovative approach to all Japanese cuisine that’s seldom seen, so it’s no wonder his cookbook is so long-awaited! Uchi the Cookbook is now available for pre-orders … snag one now and you’ll also get an…
Aspen: or, El Jebel Really: Sushi Ya Go Go [Updated]
[Update: The second time was better than the first! I had an outstanding white tuna sushi and they made me a RICELESS El Jebel roll! Love them even more:] It’s no secret that I love sushi. However, it struck me that in Aspen I am undeniably landlocked the day I drove past a company advertising…
Austin: Half-Price Sushi at Bar Chi
As the weekend rolls around again, I absolutely must tell you about Bar Chi. It’s on 2nd & Colorado, where the old Yu Sushi Izagaya was. It looks the exact same, but they are doing something no one else downtown is: Late. Night. Happy Hour. 10p-midnight. And all-day Sunday happy hour. And not just $1…
Aspen: Tonight, there’s free sushi at Takah
I still haven’t been to Takah Sushi in Aspen, the most affordable of the bunch (excepting Clark’s grocery store sushi, which is indeed made in store every day), but tonight Aspen Public Radio is hosting a membership drive there with FREE bites and 1/2 price sake. Sounds good to me! Want to join the Aspen…
Aspen: Well hello Matsuhisa, nice to meet you
The holy grail of Aspen food is UNarguably Matsuhisa. As in celeb-heavyweight Nobu’s little pet sister restaurant, the one Chef Nobu only opened for fun. You wait for someone’s rich parents or tourists to invite you to dinner there, and then you feel awkward the entire time because it’s so expensive and extravagant that you…
Austin: Finally, Uchiko “I even ate one of those little buggers”
A confession, y’all. I’ve eaten at Uchiko twice now, and not blogged about it. I KNOW it’s the It restaurant, I know everyone wants to know how it is, but I just had a terrible, no good, very bad experience during their soft opening and I could not get over it. The food was delicious.…
Austin: Uchiko open?! [updated]
[Update: Addie, who knows all the food news in town, kindly posted that Uchiko will officially open on July 5] From Uchiko’s blog on Sunday: “We’ve been in the Uchiko space for 3 days now, and my what a lovely space and kitchen it is! Training and tasting staff like mad and on schedule to…
