    [Rant]

    I always said there is no excuse for a chef to have a public bad night.

    I always said I’d never look back.

    I always said I’d never eat sushi again after Frankfurt.

    I always said I despised commercial enterprise when it comes to gastronomy.

    Give me your thoughts

    I was in Dallas for the Texas State fair this weekend. I enjoyed a lot of fried food (deep fried PBJ; after one bite I was stuffed and done for the day). And while walking around I came across the carousel area and noticed the one below…

    Well, I unfortunately have to update my previous review.

    The atmosphere and overall setting of the restaurant (market […]

    Uchi, mmh, no thank you!

    Read this review but then head over to the update!

    Here we go again, I will be the one who complains and criticizes one of Austin’s so called gem!

    If you’re going to be offended or think that I complain just because I like it then stop […]

    Austin Diner

    fullscreen-capture-312010-21327-pmbmp A Great place! I love diners, they must be old fashioned, retro, in weird neighborhoods and the ultimate test is their hash-brown! Where I grew up hash-brown is a comfort food. My entire childhood we ate hash-brown with sausages and various cuts of meats at diner (back in Switzerland […]
