Cheer Up With Food

Earlier in December we checked out Chronic Tacos  located in the food court at  Palms Casino Resort .  This food chain currently has 30 locations mainly all over California and a few shops in Nevada, Arizona, and Canada: Front Chronic Tacos emphasizes on fast food that's made to order so the food you are getting is fresh!  They do not allow their food at the front to sit out for too long. Chronic Tacos prepares generous portions of Mexican food . The California Burrito with Carne Asada was my personal favorite.  As you can see there is a lot of ingredients all packed in this massive burrito!  This would be a great hangover meal ;) F r e s h  Fish Tacos- The Mahi Mahi or Ono fish is dipped in a special Tecate Beer batter and deep fried. Eating here reminded me that fast food shops are not all the same.  Chronic Tacos stays true to delivering fresh food every time to their customers!  This Chronic Ta...

Picture waking up in the morning and you're starving for a delicious breakfast.  Eggs, hash browns, toast, and a delicious cup of coffee.  If I'm in Tucson, I already know I'm hitting up Jerry Bob's . You walk in and you'll see that the staff is always nice and they'll tell you to sit wherever.  Service is super quick and if you're into couponing, check out the newspaper because Jerry Bob's always hooks it up with coupons in there. Yay coupons! I think I've ordered everything off of this menu at least once!   On this visit I had the Bacon Cheeseburger, it was juicy and deelish. A yummy hot cocoa topped with whipped cream. Hot tea set-up Half ham and cheese omelette, scattered hash browns, and choice of toast. Mickey Mouse Pancakes and a side of sausage patties. It's always a good idea to share biscuits and gravy with someone. Jerry Bob's has mu...

Eeegee's  currently has 23 locations in Tucson, AZ and only one in Casa Grande, AZ.  Moving from Tucson to Los Angeles was a difficult one because of my beautiful and delicious Eegee's. The thought of dipping the delicious sandwich into their perfect ranch dressing makes me go mad. I wish they would expand. To Hollywood. Next door to my house. A girl can dream. On the menu: Different types of sandwiches, fries, salads, cookies, pretzels, and of course their famous frozen drink- The Eegee. The delicious Ranch Fries.  Crispy crinkle fries topped with their signature ranch and yummy bacon bits.  All of the catsup in the background were also used for these babies.  Don't be shy to use your hands. Pizza Fries topped with marinara and mozzarella.  Bello. 12" Deluxe Grinder- ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, pickles, black olives, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, spices, pepperoncini, and Eegee's house dressing (Italian type of dressi...

My girlfriends and I recently checked out IS SWEET, a cute little shop that sells desserts, coffee, and tea located in Chinatown Las Vegas .  It was easy for me to choose what drink I wanted - a hot Dark Chocolate Milk Tea (great to drink while the weather is cold!), but when it came to choosing a dessert I was a bit overwhelmed!  There were different flavors of crepe cakes to pick from, and a list of toppings, sauce toppings, and ice cream to add on a honey toast or waffle.  Since I was sharing desserts with my friends, I wasn't too picky with the flavors we chose. Two hot milk teas - Hot Matcha and Dark Chocolate We ate the  Matcha  Crepe Cake - the matcha flavor was definitely there and I liked how creamy layers stuck well together with every bite.  Other crepe cake flavors available are Red Velvet and Vanilla. I enjoyed our honey toast!  We customized it to be simply topped with vanilla ice cream, almonds, and  condensed ...

For my postpartum treat , I returned back to Yummy Grill & Sushi  for their omakase (leaving the selection to the chef).  Since it was a long time for me without eating raw seafood, it was quite overwhelming for me, but in a good way!  I felt like I was being reintroduced to my favorite cuisine again.   If you're interested in trying Yummy's omakase, go to the restaurant in November because the new expanded area that will be opening is going to be exclusive to customers who will be ordering from the omakase menu! We were served over 20 delicious foods.  The owner/chef who usually does the omakase was out of town so he trained his sushi chef, Steven, to do the preparing and presentation for him.  Chef Steven said the owner does a better job than him, but we assured him we were impressed with his presentation of the foods! Appetizer- Cucumber salad topped with imitation crab Takoyaki Tempura- octopus legs lightly fried in tempura batt...
