Greg just got done reparing my air conditioning unit.  The whole transaction, friendly and efficient service and even the nifty iPhone credit card reader was fast and easy.  He even gave us tips for future maintenance and the first-time service call discount.

My house is once again a cool paradise.  Thanks Greg!!

Ok, ok, well I also have a Sub-Zero and called WRA to servicing.  The repairman that came was on time, very respectful of my kitchen - it was raining that day and he put out towels/rags so that there would be no wetness and mess.  The job was done quickly and he explained everything to me. They are redeemed in my eyes.  A representative also called this time and asked if the work was done correctly and it was.  So this company redeemed themselves.  For now, I'll chalk the previous review to the individual and not the organization.  Thanks Wilshire Refrigeration!

    I wasted a total of 8 hours waiting for a service repairmen that either 1) never showed up or 2) arrived with only 20 minutes to spare and had the wrong part (no excuse, I gave them both my model number of my Wolf Range and the serial number).  It's ridiculous to take time off work (twice!!) only to be stood up.   Do yourself a favor and call another appliance repair shop, you'll thank me later.

No other cupcakes or cupcakeries exists for me.  MDC has ruined all other cupcakes for me.  I've tried cupcakes in town, in NYC, in Seattle, etc... they are all a joke compared to the ultra-light cakes, packed with flavor and topped with heavenly whipped clouds and toppings.  Everytime I try other cupcakes, it's just another big let-down.   Why look further when you have perfection waiting for hungry lips!

    Don't let this little unassuming American-named Thai jem of a restaurant fool you.  It's fantastic.  We've tried most of their appetizers and soups and enjoy those dishes.  Our favorite is an extra spicy chicken and shrimp Pad Thai.  **Great thai flavors and spice at the right price!**

    Yes, some evenings there is a wait - because there are so many to-go orders (guilty!), so please be extra patient and nice to the little lady that takes your order and rings you up.  She may not have command of the English language, but she truly wants to serve you and make sure you are happy with your order.

Clean, honest and prompt.  Didn't try to sell me more that just what I needed.  Same day service with no appointment.  Threw in extra services and was courteous.  Our family's new tire place for sure!

My 90 lbs. German Shepherd dog, Rommel, loves this place.  He easily gives licks to the owner when he sees them.  They perform whatever services we request and Rommel comes home from his flee bath a happy dog.  It's close to home, the price is fair and I trust this business with a pet who is our heart and family member.  I highly recommend Pimp My Pooch.

Like others, I have referred to this as "Doggy Disneyland".  My dog stayed a week, it was quite an expense, however, since we were vacationing in Kauai, we figured, our dog, our heart, should have a good vacation as well.   While on vacation and at our request, we got an update of how Rommel was doing.  He got along with the other dogs and ate all his food.  It gave us a comfort that you couldn't put a price on.  For that, we are indeed fans of this establishment because they cared for our dog like they do their own.

Good hotel, friendly enough but still in it's early stages as far as activities around the hotel.  It's in the middle of a quiet new condo area.  Everything is clean and quiet, if that suits you, then it's perfect for that.  Had a good stay, was able to get food downstairs at the bar (free drinks for SPG elite is a plus) and at a pizza joint a block down the street.

Been traveling to the Denver area each week for nearly 15 months and wouldn't you know it, on my very last week I find one of the best sushi bars near my hotel. I loved it so much, I had dinner two nights in a row. Something I never do in a city of great eats.

I have to personally thank Eddie at the bar. He welcomed this visitor with a bright smile and excellent service. Per his recommendation, I started out with the fresh blue fin tuna wrapped around slices of avocado. Pure heaven on a plate!

Next I ordered up some Miso Toro and sashimi of Guu (fatty salmon), Anago (sea eel) and Kani (snow crab). When they handed the plate to me, it was a culinary piece of art. I wish I could say it was too pretty to eat, but I dug into that plate greedily. After tasting each component, I was a very happy lady. Dare I say this place is on par with the more illustrious Sushi Den in downtown Denver.

The next night I ordered the Miso Black Cod. It was also very good - my only complaint is that I was expecting an a la carte portion but was served a dinner portion instead. More Cod is always good thing, but I couldn't help but have a sampling of the veggies and mashed potatoes - which in turn made me a bit full and prevented me from ordering other delicacies.

All in all, I those two nights were one of the most memorable meals I've had in Colorado.  Amplified that much more by the fact this establishment is at least 900 miles from the nearest ocean.  Good for them... and for us!

    This is a great little find: The best Taco Truck in Pasadena!! This Taco Truck can be found these days on the corner of Holly & Fair Oaks.  Good luck with parking.  Hours: about 9:00pm - 2:00am Tue-Sundays.

    For a few years now, I've been following this sometimes elusive taco truck (aka Wascally Wabbit on Wheels!!) - before it was at the Shell Station a block down before it parked itself in a little parking lot (watch out for a certain, surly parking lot attendant who drives by to asks if you are taking your tacos to go.  I so look forward to having their authentic, orangy-goodness al pastor tacos.   The lady/guys in the truck are cool - so be the same!!  

    Where Taco King excels in their carne asada tacos, I give it to El Chavo for their al pastor tacos or burritos - hands down, it's the best one I've tasted so far.  (If you disagree, please, please email me and point me in to the path of Al Pastor Heaven!!)
