Mellow Mushroom - Great Pizza in Fort Worth, TX

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

After getting a haircut in Fort Worth, I was hungry for some pizza. Sandy pointed me to Mellow Mushroom by TCU. So I headed out to to Bluebonnet Circle.

She said it would be crowded and she was right. But it was worth it. The pizza was great. The service was good. Somewhat pricey for a pizza, but it was so good I’m not complaining. I had the Kosmic Karma. The crust was kind of thick. It was chewy. The sauce was pesto. I loved it.

Their pizza choices are pretty eclectic. I’m adding Mellow Mushroom to my list of good, unique pizzas.

Time to Give a Shout Out to Amore’s in Grapevine, TX

Sunday, August 6th, 2006

I’ve been going to Amore’s for years. It’s not unusual for me to go multiple times per week. The service is good, as is the food. The prices are very reasonable. I generally get a slice of cheese pizza and a salad with house dressing, but the other things on the menu are also worthy of your consideration. It’s BYOB so bring some nice wine.

Breakfast @ Savor

I had breakfast at Savor in San Francisco today. It was a great experiece. We talked about the Internet biz and enjoyed some yummy food.

Trader Vic’s in Emeryville, CA - Not Impressed

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

I went to dinner tonight at Trader Vic’s. It had a great view of the marina, but the food and service were average. If you go, make sure to get a window seat, otherwise there’s no point in making the trip.

Dinner @ Asena in Alameda, CA - Highly Recommended!

Monday, July 24th, 2006

I went to Asena for dinner on Monday night. This place was great! It wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t expensive either. I loved the food. It was stuff that I hadn’t had before - a blend of Italian and other Mediterranean dishes. The chef was actually out at the table talking to us. It was great to understand the dishes and how they were put together. Definitely worth a trip through the tube to Alameda.

I had seared Tuna, chilled cucumber/yogurt soup, and an incredible chilled lemon soufflet.

Carrie and I saw a great show. I took some good pics.

This was my third time seeing Tom Jones in concert over the last 10 years. He’s still got it. The guy’s an incredible performer. He can take other people’s songs and put his own spin on them. If you haven’t seen Tom Jones perform, you should.

Tower of Power was a pleasant surprise. They kicked ass! I’d pay just to see them.

The show was at Nokia Live in Grand Prairie. It’s a great place to see a show - indoors, good sound, large video screens, and comfortable seating. There’s really not a bad seat in the house.
