T.G.I.F. = THANK GOD I DONT EAT THERE ANYMORE


     T.G.I. Fridays  is a restaurant that has distorted my future. I have been a victim of the  restaurant and I don't know how I will get through it. Recently I visited the establishment which is located in the city of plantation Florida. I was celebrating my sisters birthday and I was feeling quite pleasant. My family and I took a table outside to enjoy the fresh air that was fresh. We ordered an entrée to get our stomachs ready for large meal ahead. Drinky drinks were ordered and they were filled to the brim.

     Before we ate I decided to wash my hands. As I entered the bathroom I was met with a horrid scent of urine. The smell of the bathroom was a  smell that reminiscent of downtown Ft. Lauderdale alleyways. As I washed my hands I held my breath to the point that I almost passed out. I quickly ran to my table disgust. The only thing that could help calm my nerves was the burger that I ordered.

     Unfortunately, the burger that I ordered wasn't that good. It was like tasting Arby's for the first time and boy was it the last time. These two occurences were the last straw for me. Pee Pee is not something that I want to smell in a place that I eat at. Being reminded of Arby's is definitely  not something that I want either. I would go to Arby's to be reminded of Arby's.


     Overall, the T.G.I. Fridays located in Plantation is piss poor( pun intended).

How to SHINJU properly


Buffets make the world go around. They give the average human being the chance to eat like a king or queen. A buffet can challenge one’s stomach in ways never known to man. Its quiet exciting.

                Today I give you my personal experience on the restaurant Shinju. It’s a buffet restaurant that specifically sells oriental food. Sushi, chicken lo mien, shrimp fried rice, egg rolls, general tso’s chicken, and French fries are just some of the many entrées that are available to eat. When you walk in you’re greeted and set up at a table of your choosing. From that point you can hunt down your food.  Like a lion in the wilderness searching for its prey.

 The internal organs of Shinju are spread out nicely.  Main entrées and desserts are separated like the heart and lungs. Absurd amounts of sushi are everywhere. The sushi is prepared well. Imagine a rice crispy treat except with fish and other things stuck together.   Chefs constantly cook to make sure there is always food available. After all a buffet without food is really weird.  

Shinju gives you the choice of getting your food cooked right in front of you.  Fresh uncooked meat is at the ready for the chef to cook. With their sword like cooking utensils the chefs slice and fry meat in ways that you’ve never seen. If you’re a fan of ninja movies you may enjoy the spectacle. I personally like to invade my plate with general tso’s chicken, sushi, rice, crab Rangoon, egg-rolls, and whatever else I can fit on it.

One of the restaurants strongest and most delicious strengths are its dessert choices. They have ice cream, fruits, ice cream, etc. After eating mountains of egg-rolls and sushi I like to get some peaches and vanilla ice cream. I savor the moment with every bite as if I was about to finish my last meal. It’s a euphoric experience.

Overall Shinju is a great buffet restaurant. It's clean and taken care of.  The food tastes fresh. Nothing is undercooked or excessively gross. For around 12$ I can eat like an obese king for lunch. There’s honestly nothing more that I can ask except for a bigger stomach.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
P.S.  
 
                       If you don't leave with a full stomach then your doing it wrong

THE SWEET SWEET SWEET TOMATOES REVIEW


Sweet Tomatoes sweet tomatoes sweet tomatoes. Try saying this three times without puckering your lips.

            Here is my review about the restaurant sweet tomatoes. I recently went there for the first time. I never knew what the place sold.  I was a tomato virgin. The set up wasn’t your normal restaurant structure. I always thought of sweet tomatoes as a knock off of olive garden or something. Instead it was a buffet. I proceeded to grab my plates once entered. The journey into tomatoes was the next step.

            Sweet tomatoes has some of my favorite foods. I absolutely love BREAD STICKS. What’s better you ask? CHEESY BREAD STICKS. Yes this place had plenty of them. I riddled my first plate with cheesy goodness. Imagine a mountain of macaroni, breadsticks and pasta.  My second plate had green salad on it but that really doesn’t matter.  Eating the first breadstick created a sensation akin to my life flashing before my eyes. They were something magical happening. The obtrusive breadstick was taking me hostage. I could tell the cooks invested time in this food. The elegant presentation of the food was mesmerizing. My stomach and eyes were in tune and ultimately agreed to go for more.  My taste buds were buzzing on extreme levels to the point where I had just no control whatsoever.

            Once done with my main course I proceeded to go for the deserts. Like a deer in headlights I saw cornbread, blue berry muffins, and mini brownies. I will say this out of everything that I ate the brownies were over the top stale and tasteless. These brownies weren’t cooked properly. When I take a bite of a brownie I’m expecting a blast of chocolate. I didn’t get that here. There was a saving grace though. They offered chocolate and vanilla ice cream. The ice cream had rich flavor. I couldn’t complain about it.

            Overall, sweet tomatoes is a good place to eat. It has a variety of foods that I’m sure everyone can appreciate. This place officially gets my stamp of approval.
 
 

 

 

P.S.

 

The brownies sucked.

THE CHIPOTLE, LA GRANJA AND POLLO TROPICAL THREESOME THAT IS RUINING RELATIONSHIPS

   I love FOOD. Food is something that is very necessary in life. You need to food in order to survive and also to survive. I was exposed to Pollo when I was a young kid. I would always make sure that my chicken was well done. If it ain't well done then there were some serious problems. A quarter chicken with rice and black beans was my usual order. Pollo's tropichop was also a favorite of mine. Mini pieces of chicken making out with rice and beans. It was a match made in heaven.
 
  Chipotle on the other hand has become a powerhouse in the food world. There isn't a place in America besides probably Wisconsin where someone doesn't know about chipotle. Chipotle is pretty much Pollo's tropichop on steroids. You can choose different kinds of meat and a plethora of toppings that will make your spidey senses tingle. Just talking about this is making me hungry. Anyways, chipotle tastes very good. A  steak bowl with lettuce, sour cream, medium sauce, black beans, white rice ( not racist) and cheese will make you go to church and thank God for your taste buds.

   La Granjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I have been recently exposed to el granja. It is  the last in this epic threesome and in my opinion the weakest. Granja's greatest strength is the fact that they offer huge portion sizes. The amount of rice that they offer would make a Haitian restaurant jealous. I like how La granja has yellow rice. White and brown rice are good , but yellow rice is something else. Yes pollo offers yellow rice , but its no where near granja in terms of taste.

     All three of these restaurants have good food. Each one makes my taste buds flare up in different ways. I think the overall best one is chipotle though. I will admit that chipotle is very over hyped , but I cant deny its flavor.  Getting your chipotle meal requires patience. There is almost always a long line that's long.

Let me know which one out of the three you like. I know this is a touchy subject so if you feel uncomfortable about talking about I understand. Just buy me one of this meal and we are A ok.





P.S.

Pollo means chicken.

SUBWAY IS PRETTY DARN NASTY

SUBWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I have always liked subway. When I was younger subway was the chipotle of today for me at least. Jared ( or however you spell his name) was always on TV talking about subway.  Jared was a legitimate sub pimp back in the day. These days things have changed.

     These subs ain't loyal people. Subway has been slacking so much lately. The subway by my house is pretty nasty. The last time I went there I purchased with my currency a spicy Italian. I'm not even Italian , but I do enjoy a spicy Italian sub. I made sure that toasted my sub once. If you toast a sub twice its not called toasting its called burnt toasting After eating my sub I just felt sick. It was a weird occurrence. I never subway would betray me like that.

    NOW  I'm here to tell you that subway SUCKS now. Worldstar had a video of rats infiltrating a subway establishment. When I saw that I knew that I couldn't trust subway anymore. I have now set my sights on publix subs. Publix subs are pretty good. Shout out to all my boars headers even though I don't get boars head. Publix has a sense of quality in their subs. Now I will admit they cant toast like subway. In fact that's what made me like subway so much. They could toast a sub so well that you forgot it was your birthday. Publix is mainly for cold subs.

     Publix is not the only sub getaway available to the public. There's Las Spadas, Quiznos, and Las Spadas and Quiznos.

Anyways let me know what your favorite sub places are. What do they offer  in terms of an experience?



P.S.

Never eat at the subway by my house
