Took a little Sunday roadtrip up to Baton Rouge today to check out Chow Yum Phat at the new White Star Market. These cats are taking Ramen seriously. Outside of KIN this is easily the best Ramen I’ve had in Louisiana. They are cranking out some velvety rich Tonkatsu broth, and the grilled pork belly was perfectly cooked. The noodles were silky and of obviously good quality. But the Pho Dumplings were REALLY amazing. The pronounced flavors of beef pho were kicked up with a spicy hoisin sauce, pickled jalapeños, and peanuts. We almost ordered another round of them, but we were stuffed after the Ramen and some excellent Bao. If you live in Baton Rouge, get over there and check them out. And I’d say it’s good enough to make a special road trip up from New Orleans. The food hall is pretty cool too, a lot of options like tacos, pizza, and healthy stuff. The bar has an impressive selection…

Extreme Pizza – Menu with Prices – 111 W Nolana Ave, McAllen

9/7 Saturday My sister, her husband, and my niece Lilly went out for pizza and it was worth it! I ordered the Hanoi Fever: shredded pork, maybe more like pieces of pork, marinated in a spicy hoisin style sauce, peanuts, green onions, cilantro, carrots, jalapeños and mozzarella. While the spicy hoisin style sauce wasn’t really spicy to me, the fresh slices of jalapeños did it for me! Great choice if you like spicy! Maybe I’ll dare myself to try the Ghost Wave- ghost pepper cheese!!! THIN CRUST PIZZA!!! YUMMMY!!! We had THE YARD, Cheese and another pizza with sausage, mushroom and ricotta! Everyone was satisfied! My nephew Toby turned 28 years old! Ok, The Yard comes with so many toppings one slice is all I could handle: Italian sausage, pepperoni, salami, black olives, mushroom, green peppers, red onion, vine ripe tomatoes, tomato sauce, mozzarella and cheddar! So much and so gooooood! On Tuesday’s they have a deal: buy one larger and get a smaller free. Something like that. So next Tuesday…yep, pizza for lunch! Took the pizza to go, and didn’t stay, but I do want to go hang out and have a slice and some beer! Wonderful pizza and a great price!

Viet Subs Cafe – Menu with Prices – Monument Rd, Jacksonville

Came here for lunch due to a recommendation of a friend. It’s a small spot (probably 10 top). The lady at the register was nice. The menu is slightly smaller than other Vietnamese places I’ve been to (but maybe they pride in quality over quantity?). I ordered some spring rolls. When I checked the yelp the pictures showed a bunch of shrimp to each spring rolls. But when I got mine there was only 3 pieces of shrimp per roll AND a mix of beef or pork? I’m not sure why the switch from a lot of shrimp to some shrimp and another meat, but it wasn’t bad. In the roll had sole good fresh greens and rice noodles. Normally it comes with peanut sauce but the wife has a nut allergy so they switched it to their version of ‘sweet and sour.’ It wasn’t bad but it could have used a stronger sweet and sour flavor to it. It was a very faint flavor of a little tang/sour and some sweet. I ordered the philly (cheese) steak banh mi. At first you think they sandwich is small which technically to me it is (check picture;nickel for reference). But after I ate sandwich, I felt STUFFED! Maybe because the meat and cheese is dense? Anyways, it came with a good amount of mixed flavors. First the bread had crunch but ALSO still had chew to it (I hate hard crunchy bread). I don’t think the beef had any sauce/marinade but the combo of beef and the melted cheese they used had a good savory/steak component to it. It wasn’t to salty or anything. To add to the savory, there were julienned pickled carrots (it’s wasn’t heavily pickled/sour to those asking; it was only a slight sour with a little hint sweet, to me) and cucumbers to added the ‘freshness’ elements to it. Then there were some cilantro on it and a few pieces of jalapeños. I like spicy food but I hate the taste of jalapeños, but I like to try everything “as is” the first time, so this sandwich had some. It wasn’t bad with the jalapeños but I would still go without it in the future. But if you like them/spicy, just keep it on.

New York Pizza and Pasta Menu with Prices 5380 Jones Creek Rd, Baton Rouge

Had dinner tonight at New York Pizza and Pasta on Jones Creek in Baton Rouge. I’ve eaten there once before and the service was fantastic and the pasta was amazing. Tonight though, I finally tried the pizza. Wow. Some of the BEST pizza I’ve had in Baton Rouge. The cheese was piled on and the sauce was so good. The service this time was the best I have EVER received at a restaurant in this area so I took down EVERYONE’S names that helped us! Noelle took our order and was so sweet. Yona brought us our drinks and checked on us. Jansen brought us our food and checked on us throughout the meal. Everyone was so nice. Customer servive here is great. I’ll definitely be back. If you haven’t tried it yet go NOW! Well…not now, they’re closed. Go when they’re open. You’re much more likely to get food then. Try the meatballs!!!

Phu Quy Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 3213 17 Ave SE, Calgary

Order through Skip the dishes and it was horrible. Spring rolls were soggy, Raw Beef Pho was cooked beef(who cooks the beef for Raw Beef Pho? aka the beef was over cooked the broth also taste like chicken). Satay Beef and rice had no flavor at all. pork Vermicelli left a lot to be desired as the Pork was overcooked and kinda tasted like beef. Oh and don’t forget that you have to pay 1.00 per sauce like Hoisin. We ordered 2 Hoisin and only received 1. When I called the location to advise he told me I was lying. He would not listen at all no matter what I said, First time my office ordered will be the Last.

Updated today June-03-2019 Had a flat tire on my brand new car by the time I got here. They didn’t have one but they got on the phone and located me a tire and then they actually went and got the tire and I was out of here pretty fast. This is the best and fastest tire shop in town or anywhere around that’s for sure. They also stand behind what they do! Tires aren’t sexy nor the funnest thing to shop for but if you have a car you have to buy tires and this is the best place in Baton Rouge for all your tire needs. They have the best price in Baton Rouge are anywhere around here. If you hate wasting your day buying tires then again this is the fastest place in and out with all 4 tires balanced and installed in under 30 minutes. I used to spend hours and hours at places like Walmart but for the last 10 years I buy my tires at McDonald Tires. 4 new tires balanced and mounted with tax & everything only &352 and I only spent.

Los Plebes ” Tacos & Mariscos ” Menu with Prices 9830 Florida Blvd, Baton Rouge

If I could give this good truck more than 5 stars I would. I drive all the way to austin from Baton Rouge specifically to go eat at food trucks. This one is by far one of the best food trucks I’ve ever eaten at. Not only is their food GORGEOUS and not sloppy, but it’s priced right and it’s super tasty! It’s mainly seafood items, (mariscos = seafood in Spanish) but they have some of the best carne asada street tacos EVER. Holy cow. If you love spicy food, Mexican food, and seafood….. you gotta check this truck out! I had the Mitotera (shrimp, calamari, scallop, octopus in a spicy sauce… basically a spicy seafood ceviche!) and carne asada tacos and shrimp tacos. They gave us 4 diff types of salsa, all of which were some of the best salsas I’ve ever had!

Anthony’s Italian Deli Menu with Prices 5575 Government St, Baton Rouge

We were visiting Baton Rouge for our anniversary and to watch the Bama vs LSU game of the century. We live in Alabama, so we were in enemy territory. My wife has bragged many times about the food she had growing up in Baton Rouge at Anthony’s Deli. We met her BFF and her husband and daughter. The atmosphere at Anthony’s set the tone right away. It was spotless, warm and inviting and expertly decorated to help bring you to Italy. The owners and other employees immediately spotted our Bama attire and in true LSU style let the good times roll. They were so much fun making comments back and forth with us. I felt like I had known these great people forever. They really made us feel at home and welcomed. We ordered the Italian sandwich and it filled our entire plate. It was delicious, until we observed writing on our paper plate beneath the sandwich. It read “Geaux Tigers.” Oh my! We’ve been poisoned!! Love that sense of humor. When we left the restaurant was full of customers and they all had something fun to say to us. If you like great, authentic Italian deli food, don’t waist another day, get to Anthony’s Deli. And if you have are visiting from out of town, wear yourself teams apparel and be prepared to have a jovial time with the staff. Can’t wait to get back to Anthony’s Deli.

Stix Noodle Bar – Menu with Prices – 72 Franklin St, Worcester

Nothing like warm ramen on a rainy Sunday. Woman and I were the only ones in the restaurant and wanted beef spicy ramen only to be told they had no beef…what??? You have no beef? How could this be feasible? I mean, if anyone working there cared there would be a way to get some beef fr the soup! Even Peopod could deliver in an hour…simply points to lack of leadership and lack of care. Ordered two spicy chicken ramens to eat there. Surprisingly, they were served in a paper to-go container. There was also only plastic ware with no spoons like one expects with ramen…WTF? How little does one care to not provide the simply bowls and spoons that are known to accompany authentic ramen? The lack of a proper bowl and spoon (like in all their pictures and promotions) affected the overall presentation and taste…who serves ramen in a to-go paper container for dine-in? The chicken was barely 3 ounces…a rip-off for the price tag of about ten bucks. The broth lacked spice, depth and any character whatsoever. My woman’s egg still had pieces of shell on it! I like to judge each place on my own, but it is clear there are, and have been, major issues with this place that have not been directly addressed. So sad as it is in walking distance to where I live. All I can say is that I am eager for the new ramen place opening down the block (seems more authentic) and in the meantime will get much better, cleaner and wholesome food at the many places in and around the park (for example a killer $6.50 gyro on the next block). I do not expect this place to survive if it continues to operate as it has been…no beef on a Sunday? Pathetic!

Gan Shan West Menu with Prices 285 Haywood Rd, Asheville

We went horse back riding on a nice sunny day. As we were on our way to visiting craft brewery the weather started to deteriorate and became cloudy and cold. So our plans changed from visiting craft brewery to a restaurant that served hot and spicy ramen. We looked at some reviews on Yelp and found Gan Shan West to be the best among all the other options. We ordered one tradition pork ramen with miso soup and one order of their special spicy beef ramen with a big chunk of bamboo. I am a huge fan of pork ramen and I have had pork ramen in many places. This one was a little bland, I would have liked it to be a little more spicier. So I had to add additional spicy paste to make it spicier. But I was still a little disappointed, nevertheless their spicy beef ramen was delicious and flavorful. The bamboo chunk added nice texture to it. I have seen bamboo shoots but this was my first time seeing a huge chunk of bamboo. Bamboo has many medicinal properties so definitely try this out. Pricing is equivalent to other ramen places. It could range anywhere from $13 to $15. Ambiance is nice. They also have veggie option. Also, they have paid parking spaces on the street if you’re planning to drive. 4 stars because I was a little disappointed by pork ramen. Otherwise, it was a perfect late evening lunch on a cloudy and gloomy day.

Ramen Yamadaya – Menu with Prices – 1728 Buchanan St Floor 2, San Francisco

Overall 4 stars: Spicy ramen: 0 stars. tasted terrible, worst ramen I’ve ever had. Ordered a med spicy, was ridiculously spicy, with no flavor aside from spicy oil (tasted like water w spicy oil in it). Hubby had to mix in soy sauce, rice vinegar on the table to make it palatable. Tip: order it with less spice than you’d like. Spicy miso might have more flavor…the waitress said lots of people get extra soup to add in bc it’s too spicy. Yamadaya ramen: 4 stars. The bamboo, chasu (pretty fatty but most chasu is), eggs (loveee ramen eggs w the gooey inside), noodles were all delish. Soup was a bit too salty and fatty (had lots of oil and fatty pieces inside) for me but pretty good overall. Service: overall 4 stars but initially 0 stars bc the waiter didn’t listen at all when we said hubby was allergic to onions and we didn’t want onions, green onions or chives, but the miso soup our chicken katsu curry came w had a ton of green onion. So we asked again and a waitress double checked and we learned the curry has onion in the sauce. So we changed it to the ramen. They were also nice about the spicy ramen when we complained about its terrible taste and helped us out. Overall, 4 stars, mainly bc of the waitresses. Not sure I’d return bc hubby had such a terrible experience w the spicy ramen.

Good Eats Kitchen Menu with Prices 7673 Perkins Rd Suite A-2, Baton Rouge

Meal prep has become a hot topic these days with people both wanting to save time so that there is more time with family and friends, as well as people wanting to eat more healthy with whole food ingredients and clean eating. While I try to prepare my meals fresh daily, sometimes i need good items to fall back on. Frozen meals just don’t cut it somedays. Good Eats Kitchen (GEK) is a welcome new addition to Baton Rouge and a great location in Ichiban Square Shopping Center. The store is very open and inviting with a bright green and yellow color patter. The employee today was very welcoming and came over to make sure I understood how to identify the different foods and meats. Prices are very reasonable for the freshly made meals you are purchasing. You can eat them in the store if you’d like, or you can take them to go. For lunch today, i enjoyed the turkey meatballs and zoodles. I simply heated the meal for about 1.5 minutes and was good to go! Nutritional facts are on the package. It seriously tasted like something I would have made in my kitchen (only better!) I love the idea that this is a Louisiana family with ties to Baton Rouge and a love for what they do. And it all started wanting to help the owner’s sister, growing into a business seeking to provide GOOD and HEALTHY meals to others. Check them out today! (If you can’t make the store location, you can also look at delivery options on their website!) Can’t wait for more!
