Excellent visual explanation of why soda is crap. I’ve been trying to quit for years — and reduced my soda consumption substantially — but haven’t been able to avoid completely the siren call of the syrupy drink, particularly when eating greasy foods. The battle to resist starts afresh tomorrow! Via: Term Life Insurance
My favorite sushi in the world. Today’s “trust me” omakase offerings: maguro & toro sashimi in ponzu, hamachi, shiro maguro with ponzu, warm crab hand roll, giant clam, uni, oysters, scallops, lobster hand roll, unagi. Very, very full right now.
Korean food must be going mainstream! I was at the Mountain View Costco this weekend and saw for the first time shelves and shelves of jars of the traditional Korean pickled cabbage side dish, from a brand you could find at a Korean grocer, too. I don’t think the Korean population is particularly large in [...]
Yes, yes, I know he’s busy, but, after all the hullabaloo, JH still has not responded to the “Reasonable” Dinner Time survey results. At my desk last Monday, he briefly read the post on results and immediately replied, “These people are lying.” That remark alone reveals all you need know about his objectivity. He promised [...]
Thanks to those who completed the Dinner Time survey! Now, the background: I have a standing weekly Wednesday dinner with three buddies — one person picks a place and pays each week. The default meeting time is 7:30 p.m, but our empirical meeting times have ranged from ~7:00 p.m. – ~8:30 p.m., and, regardless, the [...]
I’m engaged in a debate with a friend on when is a “reasonable” time to start eating dinner in the U.S. So as not to prejudice your thinking, I won’t indicate more at this point. To help us inform this debate, please complete this 5-question, “Dinner Time” Survey. Also, please feel free to post any [...]
In this age of fast food, mass market franchise restaurants and celebrity chefs, the decent family and neighborhood restaurant is hard to find. My new favorite Italian restaurant is A Bellagio in Campbell. Not only is the food authentic and delicious, but the service is unparalleled. I’d already written a Yelp review and felt compelled [...]
I’m going to continue to post my restaurant reviews both on Yelp and here. This week, “the dinner club” checked out Pezzella’s on El Camino in Sunnyvale. Here’s my review: My colleague John C. tells me my Yelp reviews are too long to read, so I’ll keep this one relatively short. Pezzella’s is a great [...]
(Photo courtesy Yelp user Anthony M.) My brother and sister would like to see my Yelp reviews here, so I shall oblige. I have a standing weekly dinner with three buddies. Each week, one person picks and pays. This week, Jason H. picked Junnoon in Palo Alto. Here’s my Yelp review of it: Tasty, although [...]
Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think by Brian Wansink, Ph.D., is a fantastic book for anyone trying to control his or her diet. The book does not prescribe a particular diet — you won’t find a single menu or food choice in it. Rather, the book uses anecdotes and studies to demonstrate [...]
