Turkey Wrap and Potato Crusted Chicken

Today I was treated to something different again. Potato crusted chicken and what seemed to be seasoned spicy rice. I got it at the union, there’s a little stand right where you come in that I never even noticed. This was rather substantial stuff! The chicken breast was juicy and tender. The crust was like a mix between potato stix and hash browns. It had a weird aftertaste at first, but it grew on me. Very very crunchy and hell it was a chicken cutlet, how can I not like it? The rice on the other hand was so-so. It was seasoned with what looked like paprika and curry powder. It was a little gummy and it was a type of rice I can never identify but I'm not a fan of it. The taste was all and all decent and wasn’t a bad side.

Yesterday was a surprise as well. A thanksgiving turkey wrap, it sounded so bizarre. It was dark meat of the turkey along with stuffing and gravy all wrapped in a tortilla. It tasted, as strange as it sounds.....right. It tasted like it was supposed to be, and not just the turkey and stuffing but the wrap itself. The meat was dark and moist, though I found a bit of bone in it. The stuffing was like a paste, it tasted like stuffing but I couldn’t decipher its ingredients it was to, for a lack of a better word heterogenous. The gravy, most likely from a can was pretty solid and creamy. Like I said this was strangely perfect in a way, very filling. The bone aside I'd love to have this again.

Who could hang a name on you?

Man the dorm internet has been a pain, ITS MULTIPLE ENTRY TIME!!!!DYNAMIC ENTRY!!!!

Last saturday my father(the cowboy) decided to take me and my love to dinner. Ruby Tuesdays, a favorite of mine for the sliders they serve. Before that though I'd like to point out, I ususaly hate the random items hung on the walls of establishments like this. However this I like for some reason, I just like it.
My ususal beverage of choice lemonaide. This was very tart, not allot of sugar here. It didn’t taste natural and yet it didn’t taste artificial. I liked it, very quenching and it went well with the fries.
The sliders as always were awesome. Something about tiny food that just feels right to me, it goes along with my "perfect bento world" I guess. These were little patties covered in cheese and topped with onion rings, ketchup, honey mustard and one little pickle. These flavors made for a very unique slider. It tasted, how do I put it? Classier? Yeah that’s the word. The onion rings didn’t slide around and the mustard wasn’t to overpowering. There were 4 of them and that was the perfect amount to fill me up. They also offered 2 with the salad bar option which isn’t a bad idea at all, it sounds perfect for lunch.

The fries were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Sounds like the perfect fries, but there was a little too much pepper. Don’t get me wrong I like pepper on my fries but this was a little too much. I needed to drink my lemonade because these fries were making me thirsty!

One last note I tried some of my loves mashed potatoes. They were interesting they had a bit of a crust around them which added to the texture. They were garlic and chive and they were pretty mild. The texture was amazing though.
I love going to Ruby Tuesdays. It feels less gimmicky than its competitors and in my humble opinion the food is much better.

DOOMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo

My Apologies again for the lack of updates, my buildings internet has been rather inconstant and this is the 3rd time I'm trying to upload this entry.

Truly a meal fit for a king, the bento box embodies my perfect meal. If I had to have a last meal it would be a bento. I love a little bit of everything; so many things to taste that go together so well. This time it was from a local place that’s known for its amazing lunch special. The place is called Domo sushi and its very affordable stuff. So the bento includes: Soup, Salad, Shu mai, the entree in this case Tonkatsu, some rice, a California roll, some nigiri sushi and finally some melon. All of this for about $17. That’s a really good deal if you ask me!

The salad was cold and crunchy not too much going on, I like that. Just a cucumber and lettuce served with some different miso dressing. It was creamier and a little less intense then the usual thick strong miso dressing.

The soup was the usual fare nothing spectacular but nothing terrible either. Warm and soothing with some slight scallion flavor.

The sushi by all means was good and a traditional variety. Toro (Tuna), Sake (Salmon) and Hamachi (Yellowtail). All were fresh and the cuts were well done. I’m not a gigantic California roll fan, but ill eat it if it’s presented as a combo or someone can’t finish theirs. It was good but then again how can you mess it up.

So then we have the shu mai, little vegetable dumplings covered in a light broth. There nice to have with something, almost a pseudo appetizer. They were juicy but a little chewy. Then we come to the Tonkatsu (pork cutlet). Cutlets are undoubtedly my favorite food ever. Just something about the crusty outside and the juicy inside that makes me fall in love. This particular cutlet was cut into thin strips as per usual for Japanese cutlets. It’s served with Tonkatsu sauce, named so because it compliments the dish it’s served with. It’s like a steak sauce, but it’s got a lot of vegetable and fruit elements. Its got to have worshecer.....worchester....woahfh whatever the hell you call it sauce in it too, tons of ingredients working together and complimenting the crispy pork perfectly. Nice and thick I keep a nice big bottle at home to use on just about everything. Lastly as a desert of sorts I got a little bit of melon. It’s refreshing and cools down my pallet after such a complex meal. It rounds it out and ends it well.


Strangely enough after a bento I'm always perfectly full. It delights my mind to even think about one now.

Imitation, More Like A Tribute

The special burger today at the sac was a barbecue sauce and onion ring burger. Ive had a very similar combination at Carl's .Jr but this was slightly different. First and foremost, the defining factor of this burger was the KC MASTERPIECE SAUCE. This stuff is probably THE best BBQ sauce on the market. Simply amazing right there, and it only gets better. The onion ring stuck together and had a more black pepper breading style. Crunchy and Delicious an excellent complement to the burger. Pepper jack cheese was from where I usually get it from. It was top notch stuff and was melted well. The burger patty was different then the standard burger Patty's. This was thicker and more free form it tasted better then ever. This was AMAZING! Get it if you can!

This however was disgusting. Cough syrup with seltzer. AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS IT'S NASTY.

$7 Student Special

7 bucks for all of this, an awsome deal. An egg roll, pork fried rice and boneless spare ribs with a can of grape soda. The egg roll was a bit chewey, but it was crispy enough to ignore. It was standard eggroll flair, nothing special. The rice needed some salt, and some more vegetables but the pork lent its flavor to it. The star of this meal, was the bonless ribs. They were sticky, emersed in sauce. They were chewey but super lean and I love that. They didnt stick to my teeth or leave a wierd taste in my mouth. This was just the way I like it a little salty a little sweet and chewey. You cant beat this deal, ONLY 7 BUCKS! I love full meals for cheap, it reminded me of a sushi place back home. Thats another time however.

I'm not one for grape soda, but this was good. It allmost like a weak wine soda. Really good.

Suffolk Diner

Today was a rainy day so me and armadillo went out to get a bite to eat. We went to the Suffolk diner.
Like most diners the meal was started with cole slaw. This was rather superb, better then usual. The size of the pieces were uniform and stuck together without being thick. It was the right consistency and though moist was crunchy. This is what I think of when I think cole slaw.

For an appetizer we got chicken fingers. Through out my days I've had many a chicken finger. These were headed in the right direction. The meat was flaky, not in the way that fish is though. It was strung together and I love that in chicken fingers. They were batter fried and for wider chicken fingers I much prefer it to breading. They didn’t need salt and they were served on a plate of lettuce, which always puzzles me. The honey mustard however was a disappointment. It came in a package, and I hate when restaurant do that. I couldn’t care less if it was just in a ramekin but having it in a sealed container just puts me off to it. The mustard itself wasn’t bad, but was rather strong and had the constancy of “melted cheese when you leave it out for a while". I didn’t let it get to me; I still enjoyed the fingers very much.


Yeah..... That’s two burgers with curly fries and onion rings on the same plate. Though they seem like a boring thing to order, the fact that there were 2 intrigued me. They were amazing burgers, better then something you could have at a barbecue. It had that Smokey grilled flavor (and the marks for that matter) but it tasted almost like what a fast food burger should taste like. Slightly greasy, but juicy at the same time. The curly fries at first were a bit too overdone and crunchy. As I progressed to the bottom of the pile they got softer and better seasoned. Probably and older batch on the top and a fresh batch on the bottom. Good fries in either case. The onion rings suffered from an age old problem. You take a bite and like a snake slithering out of its skin the onion is gone. This is annoying and I couldn’t really eat them. This was an awesome plate of food I’ve never seen 2 burgers offered at once that for me made it for me.

Lastly the lemonade, twas good! Wasn’t watery or too sweet, it tasted fresh and it was in this milkshake glass and that wins it cool points!

Overall a great diner take a ride over there if you feel like double fisting cheeseburgers.

TACO SALADD

That ladies and gentlemen is what was called a taco salad. But lets face it, its not a taco salad. This was a taco put on top of chips . actually nothing really bad to say about this. Nothing much to say either. The meat was seasoned well in that usual taco ground beef kind of way. The sauce was hot but not too hot, tasted familiar. The tortilla chips were blue corn, and were whole. It was sort of sharp at times though, I wished they were crushed but nothing a little elbow grease couldn't fix. It was something new to try and honestly was basically a taco, all smiles here :D.

Election day!

I voted for the first time today! GO AMERICA!!!! YEARH!!!! Anyway Ill start with today and work backwards.

Today after VOTING me and Roo went to the SAC. They had a special buffalo chicken sandwich and I hadn’t had it yet. It was a little awkward to eat however. You see it wasn’t a chicken patty or flat for that matter. It was a whole grilled chicken breast basted in hot sauce. So the bread went around the chicken and broke apart. To make things worse the hot sauce was paired with a very thin blu cheese dressing. It was dripping out of the collapsing sandwich. I was left with a rock of dry chicken squeezed in-between bread that was struggling to stay together. It didn’t taste particularly good either. Despite it being a big piece of chicken it had no place being a sandwich.

Drink was good! Very sweet but it was quenching like the other Tropicana drinks. I’m hoping to find an orange variant soon!


Yesterday in the union the special was a Philly cheese steak. I was weary, the first one I had from the sac got me sick. I was brave though, and I put more trust into the union. It was your standard cheese steak and I was pleased. It was cheesy and that’s incredibly important. The onions were a little big and undercooked. The meat although a little thicker then I would have liked gave the sandwich a little more body and it actually was less greasy. The bun was toasted and held up well without being too tough. This was a good cheese steak though it was nothing different, very standard but very good.

Halloween! I’m going to say 2 things. Skittles+Pizza are very dependant on the color. Grape was nasty though lemon and green was surprisingly good. Gil says that red was good as well!

GO BAHMAHHH. KNUCKLEEEE BAAMAAAAAA~!!!!!!!!!
