Got replaced by a BJs Brewhouse.
 
rainforrest cafe
and bubba gump is so trash
mortons is cool though

Fairly confident in saying all the food I ever ate at Rainforest Cafe was a boxed, microwave meal. But my son loved the fish tank and fake animals, so I’m not complaining.
 
recent eats (with names this time for that one dude lol)

last 2 were from a tasting menu of this new place in Houston called Restaraunt Indigo pretty cool theme

"At Indigo, Rhodes wants his food to tell stories centered on African Americans and indigenous people. He calls his cuisine “neo-soul food” and describes it as “the new wave of survival food for people of color.” Over the course of the five-course tasting, Rhodes presents each dish and explains how the ingredients on the plate reflect the struggles faced by black and indigenous people in America. For example, along with a dish of malted magnolia-blossom ice cream with salted butterscotch, thyme, and peach-skin preserves, Rhodes discusses how peaches came to be associated with soul food, despite not originating in America or Africa. He calls the dish “Happiness and Hand-Me-Downs.”

- Acadia
- South Loop, Chicago
- Acadia Burger with onion-bacon jam, gruyère cheese, truffled mornay, and bread and butter pickles on brioche
- Fries with roasted garlic dijonaise

Some rank this burger among the the top 5 in Chicago. I’d say maybe top 3. It was very good.

Got replaced by a BJs Brewhouse.

I’ve only been to a bjs brewhouse once but their pizza and hot chicken sandwich were pretty damn good.

I’ve been to BJ’s a lot. Used to be one walking distance from my office and they have good lunch specials (including on beer). Of all the chain brew house places I’ve been too, I think BJ’s has the best food.

I’ll need to check it out next time I have some time and am in the area. Sounds pretty solid.

Man I must be getting the wrong things when I go there because my experiences with the one in Columbia have been trash.
 
I made the classic mistake of convincing myself that I'm not a huge salmon fan after only having other people cook it for me. Decided to revisit it tonight by doing a no-flip version in the cast iron with a miso/hot honey glaze.

This is fire. Just reminds me of a more moist/tender/flavorful version of chicken breast. Definitely gonna be doing more fish recipes moving forward.
Bro I’ve literally been going through the same thing with salmon this past week
