Jonny and Albert did our engagement photos and we love them! These guys are really fun and have creative ideas. I found them through a friend and checked out their website before contacting them. The pricing was very fair so we gave them a shot. Albert asked if we wanted a nature theme or urban, we chose the latter and ended up in Deep Ellum and Downtown Dallas for 3 hours on a Saturday morning. We're naturally goofy people so we didn't want such serious pictures. They coached us through some funny poses but were also open to our ideas. A few days later we received the a Zip file containing our pictures and a dvd is on the way (included in package). Check out our pics:

I'm so happy this place is still here. I took my boss here for lunch on a Tuesday and it was jam packed. Literally every single table was full, we actually had to wait 10 minutes for a table. The lunch special was still there so we shared a basil fried rice and pad thai (my boss is not open to "exotic" foods so we had to keep it simple). They were both very good. I asked the waitress for some chili peppers and she brought out a variety container with oil pepper, crushed pepper, jalapeno pepper, and red pepper sauce. I was a bit overzealous and added so much of each that my mouth was on fire for the remainder of our meal. Either way, still great food for great prices. Too bad this place isn't closer...

    Really small, but homey place. I used to go here once a week when I worked in Irving. Lunch time gets packed, but they get you in and out quickly with the lunch menu. The dinner menu shares the same dishes as the lunch menu, but do yourself a favor and try some dishes off the "authentic thai menu." If you like seafood, try the whole deep fried fish in basil sauce.

The in-laws took us here after a full day of football and I'm sure happy they did. This was our first time here and I really like the "diner feel." The bar looked pretty cool too, but the only thing we wanted was the Chicken Fried Steak (CFS). After a warm dinner roll and a small side salad, on came the steak. It was a huge piece of deep fried steak with a generous helping of country gravy. The batter had a distinct flavor to it, like they added some extra spices. It was great. I substituted the fries for the vegetable medley and was happy I did - it came with zucchini, corn on the cob, squash, sliced potato, and mushrooms. I would definitely come back for another helping of CFS. Per the menu, it was "world class."

Sushi Sam  

Category: Japanese

5 star rating
 Update - 11/13/2009  
Sushi Sam has managed to impress me again! Went there last night with the fiancee and the waitress offered us the "special sushi" menu. Heck yeah!?! We tried the Ahi Nachos and Joy roll. The Ahi nachos were spicy tuna, jalapenos, cilantro, and special sauce on top of a tortilla chip. The plate comes with about 12-15 bites and was spendid! I can't remember what was in the Joy roll but I can tell you it was lightly fried on the outside and pure goodness. Oh yes, do not forget to try the Tai Tiradito: "thin strips of red snapper, lightly marinated and served as a type of ceviche"

    hands down the best sushi in DFW. we don't mind the 1 hr drive from my house to eat the best around. seriously, fresh fish and great service are the only things that set one sushi joint apart from another. i would even compare it to some of the great places i tried while living in the SF Bay Area.

This place never gets old. I've been here for a handful of Stars and Mavericks games since it opened and always have a good time. Parking isn't too bad and there are decent food options. Plenty of bathrooms all around and they're usually well kept. Lately I have only watched games in a suite and that of course is always a plus. Platinum parking is included and the suites always have good servers. The views are great to decent depending on where you sit. AAC is definitely one of my favorite arenas.

I picked up a 6-pack here on the way home from work and it was very pleasant. Quick in and out, they use your last name to thank you (if you have a rewards card), clean aisles, and fair prices. The Tom Thumb/Randalls/Safeway company has the grocery store down to a science. I know where everything is located and the generic brand is actually very good. Yes, I am a grocery store yuppie.  

The lady behind me at check-out did have a huge-botox injected face, but that's just Plano I guess. Pretty funny because it looked like she was smiling at me the whole time, but not really.

369 BBQ  

Category: Chinese

4 star rating
 Update - 11/9/2009  
Finally made it here for dinner with the fiancee. Since it was only the 2 of us, we ordered seafood hotpot and the bbq combo (bbq pork and marinated chicken). the dishes were very good, but for these dishes, I think First Chinese BBQ has the upper hand. I didn't like the 50 cent charge for rice - who would just the eat the meat entrees by themselves? However, 369 is closer and they accept credit card, so we will be coming back. The service was very nice and prompt as usual.

    Not bad at all. My co-worker and I tried this place for lunch and the food was very good. He had the "Americanized" lunch (sweet and sour chicken/egg drop soup) and I had beef flat noodles. I'm a big fan of First Chinese BBQ and I can honestly say the noodles at 369 were just as good, if not better than First Chinese. Obviously this is only one dish out the many available, but believe me, it's a basic Cantonese dish that some places butcher. Our tab came out to be around $14 for 2 people during lunch. I will have to come back and try this place again for family style dinner with the folks to test other dishes.

This is actually one of my favorite Borders locations. It is smaller than other locations so it feels a little less corporate. We would usually grab dinner at Royal Thai and shop at World Market before stopping by here. The selection is limited but the staff is always friendly and helpful. Aside from the Holiday season, I've never been here when it's too busy, so you can enjoy a cup of joe while browsing through books/mags. Perhaps it's a good place to hang out before heading to the bars because of location. "Let's go to Border's and read some mags before we get trashed on Lower Greenville! Woot!"

Chipotle Mexican Grill

Say what you want to say, but I heart Chipotle. The love affair started when they opened across the street from campus in Austin. I can't do the big burritos but the tacos and burrito bowls are my favorite. The chicken and medium salsa kick butt. Out of all the great hole in the wall Tex-Mex places I've eaten at, I've never found anything like the medium salsa from Chipotle. The prices are fair (except beer is crazy expensive) and I know what I'm going to get. This location is like any other and actually a bit bigger inside than I'm used to. During the busy lunch hour it reminds me of the SF SOMA location.

Texas! Elite Event @ BarBelmont

First, thank you Mr. Weather for giving us great weather and no rain for the night. Second, thank you Nikki for throwing another fun event. Bar Belmont is a pretty cool place and totally reminds me of Hotel San Jose in Austin. My friend and I enjoyed the ribs and the pulled pork was ok. I always enjoy beer out of a can and the live music was very nice. Good seeing some familiar faces and also meeting a few new ones.

This was my first time to the Belmont and I'll definitely have to take the fiancee and some friends here. The bar area was smaller than I expected but the bartenders/staff were very nice and prompt. Thanks to the weather, the view was spectacular.
