An unremarkable lunch at Chipotle. But I think it's important to go to chain restaurants every once in a while to get some idea that you aren't out of touch.

The sad truth is that most places in the PNW are incapable of making a burrito as well balanced as Chipotle.

Hard to evaluate because I got chicken tenders on "hot."

Holy God I can't feel my tounge. I don't remember this being that brutal when I had it in Nashville.

Chicken sandwich on medium was mild, but the tenders on hot were like 6x that. Wish there was in between.

Chickens juicy, fries not great

Dave's hot chicken just opened. But of course there is a giant line.

So trying crimson coward which was a place I was eyeing a while nearby in Bellevue.

I heard it's a common thing but there were a lot of times I wished we were just a generic white family and ate things like chicken noodle soup, and hamburger helper instead of "weird stuff."

It sounds crazy today but the 90s were different about fitting in.

Morning. Here's a childhood fantasy that never existed.

(the never existing part is me enjoying congee as a kid :p)

Anyone like:

"God. Why do I like diapers?"

And also

"I'm so happy I like diapers!"

That was the fastest blood work I've ever gotten.

I used a self checking kiosk and was at a table drawing blood in under 5 minutes.

Impressive.

I'm not joking that this could be at a Michelin star restaurant.

It comes off as one of those joke desserts there except they replicated everything to the extreme, including the sauce packets.

It's fun, flavors are sophisticated with mango habanero sauce, and ancho cinnamon ice cream.

Got a lot of stuff to look forward to in Redmond I guess.

Pakistani food truck for lunch

Might seem expensive but the lamb pulao is a lot of lamb. Like a pound of cooked lamb.

Well seasoned, tender wish there was more heat or customization if heat. Fantastic rice.

I don't know how you evaluate Poke. At some point it becomes that subway meme of "my brother in christ you made the bowl!"

Went back again. Got mango mochi.

Surprisingly good mango for out of season, one of the best flavors I've had.

Barons sinos today.

Thought it was restaurant week. It ended yesterday so paying full price today :p

Best thing is the Peking duck. One of the best I've had for how they do their crispy skin. Honestly to me more preferable the Quan Ju De. $60 on special on weekdays.

Grabbed a strawberry matcha soy milk latte from matcha magic.

I like the default sweetness level, it's not overly sweet and lets the flavor of the strawberry and matcha through.

Extra crispy skin. Kind of a salt sugar msg and white pepper seasoning comes with it.

A bit dry but it's grocery store fried chicken under a heat lamp. Might have to try again if I can catch it if it's fresher.

Egg tarts are amazing as always even cold.

Absolutely jam packed at t&t 4pm Saturday. Went to pick up fried chicken and egg tarts for a party.

EMS outside made me afraid I'm not going to get fried chicken again XD.

I should really come down here more often.

The espresso roast is just what I want. Not highly acidic, not deep charcoal burnt. A true medium roast.

This cinnamon roll is one of the best I have had since it isn't drenched in cream cheese. Soft, warm, lightly sweet.

Down at Victor's coffee Roasters this morning.

The AAA gaming industry is missing some of the lessons learned by the movie industry and even car companies. It's important for the longevity of your brand and studio to work on high budget artistic projects without any regard to profitability.

Finished off with matcha ice cream and mango panocotta.

Service is on point, super apoligetic about the time it took but was way ahead of us. Sushi chef Taka took care of us really well and welcomed us back for omakase.

What I love is that they aren't serious but are capable of it.
