Namiko’s Sushi and Japanese Restaurant is an amazing dining experience. The rooms are beautiful. Very clean, gigantic salt water aquarium break up the dining space. Dark blue walls with undersea themes delight the eyes even as the food delights you. The wait staff are all polite and attentive. The food presentation is very high quality.

My friend and I had the “Crunchy Asparagus ” and “Salmon Roll” from the sushi menu. We both opted for Tempura. It has been years since I enjoyed Japanese food as well presented and tasteful as these dishes. The Asparagus was a delightful surprise. We both oooh’d and ah’d after trying it.

The prices were medium. The restaurant was clean. I would go back again and again to this place. It does not look like much from the outside. You have to go in to find out how wonderful it is.

Big Appetite? Adventurous? You’ll love Rodizio’s Grill. The waiters dress in traditional Brazilian gaucho costumes and they patrol the room carrying a variety of rotisserie meats on their serving swords (shish-kabob skewers). The many types and flavors of meats are all served Brazilian style. You learn, from the stories framed on the walls, that the food is fashioned after the ranch feasts, which were part of the custom on the South American pampas (the high plains) in the early 1900s.

Did I say adventurous? Well, wear a belt you can loosen and be nervy because in addition to the popular meats – chicken, beef tenderloin, sirloin cubes, pork loin, bacon-wrapped turkey, Brazilian sausage, ham grilled with pineapple – all skewered with different kinds of vegetables, you can try alligator, snake, and other exotic meats (when they have them in). Eat up! You can eat all you want of everything and they’ll keep feeding you until you say “when.”

Rodizio’s also offers – as if you needed more – a popular buffet of salads and side dishes … from the normal lettuce and stuff you’d expect, to the enticingly unusual. How about quail eggs – exciting and different enough? It’s a great time. So, be daring, be audacious. See …..… “south of the border” doesn’t always mean Mexico!

Puppy pleasures

Sam and I have acquired a new pal. “Zach”, by name. He claims to be into Mexican foods so we took him over to our favorite Del Taco. This is the one off E470 and Quebec. Sam and I ordered our usual “Carbons” (Two Grilled Corn Tortillas, marinated Grilled Steak, Onions, Fresh Cilantro, and an Anaheim Chile Sauce) and a couple extra for our new friend. Sweeeeet!

Ho boy… you ever see a puppy dance on the point of a pin?

He was so overjoyed he would not stop woofing about them. He ordered a dozen more and gulped them down so fast I don’t know how he managed to taste ‘em.

The staff was highly amused. (read that: laughing so hard they could not work)

Oh well, if he loved the carbones its a good thing we did not ask him to try the burgers… well, maybe next time.

Paw’s to ya……
