Trying Gus’s “World Famous” Fried Chicken

A random and brief glance over at this restaurant led to tonight’s craving for fried chicken. The boys seem to like it but it was hard for me to tell coming off the flu. The chicken skin seemed extremely tough but the flavors I have to hold off on commenting. The coleslaw, Mac & cheese, fried okra and pickles had good texture, but again I’d have to hold off on commenting. It’s weird I’m even blogging since I’m not really contributing much. It was exposure to Gus’s so I felt like I should have said something…until next time…

Breakfast with the Boys at Coco's Crepes

Always looking for a good breakfast spot to take the boys. Today we’re late so no big elaborate breakfast, which we never get to do anyway because we’re always running behind…so on our way to our activities when we happen to pass by Coco’s Crepes and I see it’s pretty empty inside so let’s go run inside and get a quick bite, hopefully. Thankfully they were quite accommodating, however the “kid’s waffles” (first picture) which ends up being $3.50 is only about 1/4 of a waffle, seems kind of pricey for what it is. The kids do finish it. I get the breakfast crepe which was heavier than I like to go. But everyone was very nice and I like how empty it was, so the boys got to be loud and we appreciated the games they had there for the kids. We’ll have to try something else for eats next time. Definitely a thumbs up for family friendliness.

Breakfast at Common Bond Heights

Yes, they have upped their yogurt parfait game, but I am disappointed they will not make my Chef’s Scramble with egg whites and they don’t have the Egg on a Roll, so this yogurt is all I end up eating. Atmosphere is nice, but I’m not liking the food options at this location…blah.

That Chocolate Cake

Is no lie DA BOMB! I mean Edie the sales manager at Treebeards said it was really good, “homemade”, she said and I just looked at her like 😏 and she was so sure I’d be convinced she gave me a slice that didn’t cut well for free…seriously, it was so good. Very moist and chocolates, so so good, no lie!

A Quick Bite at Hando

My lunch was great, everything was fresh, nice, and basically $5 per roll, so 3 rolls and you’re already $15 in. That would be ok but I’m not even remotely satisfied. I could probably eat 3 more of these…but I’m not really wanting to spend $30 on a lunch, but it is sushi and it was good. So my thought is, it’s a nice option for an every once in awhile kind of spot.

Tonight at Kokoro in Bravery Hall

Finally getting around to trying Kokoro…my personal friend and a chef here, Chef Niki. We love the atmosphere and liked the food, but not everything. In order from best to least favorite was Maguro Crudo, Shisheito Peppers, Chicken Fat Rice, Fatty Tuna Sashimi, Maguro Maki, Kinoko, Hotate Yaki. The portions are really small, just enough for 2-4 bites, but allows you to have a lot of variety, which I like. Our bill came out to $74, which I really like!
