Why You Should Read My ReviewsI say I like to cook, but in reality I'm too lazy so eating out it is.
My Second Favorite Website The Last Great Book I Readthe numbers game.
My Last Meal On EarthBeef, and lots of it. Maybe throw in some fried chicken. Oh and sushi.

I can't say I've experienced better, since I've never paid $20 for a drink before. Definitely high class, and the boys weren't dressed for the occasion.
If you want to be ignored, show up in a t-shirt and jeans. It works!
But my drink was delicious, refreshing, and just the right hint of sweetness.

Prime Rib Shabu
Category: Japanese
Neighborhood: Inner Richmond
Go for the glory and spring for the all you can eat. Just because the single orders will probably leave you lingering for more.
So there was supposed to be a big group of us that dwindled down to four. The owner was super accommodating, and didn't falter when we cut the group size down to half. We ordered the all you can eat, and beer at 1/2 off, and off we go.
The hand cut rib eye was by far the best. At the end, we just kept asking for plates of that.
It's definitely more Chinese hot pot style than Japanese shabu shabu, so expect that walking in the door.

I really wanted to like this place. What I ended up liking was my Peet's coffee during the long wait. Warning: since they don't take reservations, don't bother showing up between the hours of 7 and 9. You'll have much better luck getting seated before or after the dinner rush.
It was one of those moments where I was so hungry that I stopped being hungry. So when we finally got seated, nothing looked appetizing.
I ended up ordering the pork belly quesadilla [http://www.yelp.com/bi...], which wasn't bad, but was a bit dry. The others had the ceviche [http://www.yelp.com/bi...] and swordfish taco [http://www.yelp.com/bi...].
I get it. It's high class Mexican food. That's how they get away with charging 3x the price elsewhere.
Meh.

Can we say one of the BEST YELP ELITE EVENTS, EVAR?
I had so, so, so much fun last night. But I knew that going in already. Games, food and drinks? I'm all over it. Did you hear me screaming in the corner because I was getting my butt kicked at Skee-ball? Basketball? Football? Wheel of fortune? Even the coin drop thingy? How about DDR (that was just embarrassing). I'm never bringing my lil bro again. Don't want to lower my self esteem further!
Screamin' Soda. Ginger Cosmo. Longboard. Longboard. Thank you, bartenders, for being speedy and making delicious drinks!
Philly cheesesteak sliders. Clam chowder. Garlic fries. Veggie skewers. They just kept coming. I couldn't resist...
And of course, the Yelp swag. Yelpstick. Buttons. Koozie. Maybe a foam finger or two (were we supposed to take that?).
I hope the two girls we gave all our tickets to actually won!

Birthday month, birthday week, lunar birthday. Call it what you want. I get spoiled in November.
Dinner #1 with mom and pops, who suggested Chouchou. I jumped at the chance since I've never been and it has been on my "to try" list for some time.
No joke, I asked for permission to order a glass of wine [http://www.yelp.com/bi...]. I'm glad they said yes. Dinner with them always makes me a stress ball.
We started with the foie gras [http://www.yelp.com/bi...]. Portion could stand to be bigger for $15, but it wasn't bad. Comes with toasted pistachios (or so my parents tell me) and perhaps dried apricot?
Mom had the bacon wrapped duck breast [http://www.yelp.com/bi...] and pops had the filet mignon [http://www.yelp.com/bi...]. They were both delicious and cooked perfectly.
I did not listen to the parentals and ordered the seafood trilogy [http://www.yelp.com/bi...]. It was all right, but nothing impressive.
Stick with their meat dishes!

Victor's Bakery
Category: Bakeries
Neighborhood: Parkside
I'm a huge fan of Asian birthday cakes. They're light, they're fluffy, they're filled with fresh fruit and light cream. You can't possible feel fat from eating a slice. In fact, I actually feel healthier since I upped my fruit intake for the day.
I made a pit stop at Victor's to pick up a cake last night for a surprise birthday party. It was about half an hour before they were set to close and I was hoping against odds that they still have a cake available. I was in luck, grabbed one from the fridge, and had them write the birthday message on it. Picked up a pack of sparkler candles and I'm good to go.
But not without giving in to a sook mai bao. Curse those cravings!

OK, I admit it. I was a Wing Stop virgin. But what a great way to go!
It was after an epic wine country trip. We were all sleep deprived and hungry. Wing Stop has been on our minds all weekend. We made the drive out, parked, and off to order.
Order #1 (http://www.yelp.com/bi...):
35 wings (cajun, garlic parmesan, lemon pepper) with a side of veggies and fries.
So this was supposed to feed five of us. Except that we were famished, so while I went back in to get napkins and utensils, part of my share mysteriously disappeared. Ten minutes later the entire tray was devoured.
Have no fear...that's why order #2 (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) is here:
Additional 35 wings (garlic parmesan and lemon pepper). I had to walk back in, head hanging in shame, to order this. And she remembered my name. Thanks for laughing at me after I left, though. Appreciate it!
This fed seven of us, with several wings left at the end for brave souls.
I can't wait to go back!

We came back for Chandon, this time for more oysters.
$2 each with the wine club discount. Two dozen total.
Super fresh, super tasty.
Yay for Chandon!

Sparkling red, we came back for you!
In for a tasting, out with 10 bottles of sparkling red. Yes, it's that good.
Also, picked up two bottles of the DKNY birthday edition, and a bottle of chardonnay. Wine night is a must again! -

Antoine, you rock. You bring us back to Chandon every time we go to Napa. You are always the highlight of our afternoons.
$16 will get you either the Classic or the Prestige tasting. Plus a champagne glass to go.
- One star because you don't make the Sparking Red year-long.
Stop five (final stop): Folie a Deux.
Is there such thing a wine goggles? If so...does it apply to this guy [http://www.yelp.com/bi...]? Cuz he is CUTE ;)
I'll fully admit that I was guzzle happy at this point. And $5 for a tasting seemed like such a steal, so I had to order!
So I apparently can sweet talk when buzzed...and sweet talked our way into more wine for the $5. And we tried the menage a trois [http://www.yelp.com/bi...] of whites, which was REALLY good. And yes, I picked up a bottle of this as well.

The cupcake was really big, and since we had just finished a meal (or two), we decided to just split one. That turned out be a great idea, since the cake was extremely sweet.
I think what makes Crumbs red velvet different is the amount of sprinkles they put on top. It literally covers the entire side, leaving the middle for an insane amount of icing.
Maybe good for kids, but definitely not good for me. Shouldn't be crashing on sugar highs anymore...
