Restaurant: Kobecue

3957 Richmond Ave.
Houston, TX 77027

For hamburglars sorta b-day get together, i had everyone try Kobecue cos i wanted to try it. Wut else is new?! The food here is okay. Not great. Knowing how good korean bbq meat can be, this really doesn't compare. But i love the whole korean taco concept so i would eat here again. My advice is to stick with the spicy pork bulgogi tacos. Miss gurl was so sweet to drop me off some bundlets from nothing bundt cakes so i busted it out and had it for dessert.

Trippin': Washington D.C. - Cafe Du Parc

1401 Pennsylvania Ave N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20004

One of flower child's old classmate, who currently lives and works in the DC area, was completely gracious enough to schlep us around our last two days there. She made reservations for us to have brunch at Cafe Du Parc. Something about the foie gras platter being really good. I'm not particularly fond of foie gras mainly due to the whole force feeding of duck/goose to fatten up the liver. You don't gotta eat everything in the world right? Luckily they ran out. Or that's wut they said but i don't believe them for some reason. This restaurant is located in a super lavish hotel right down the street from the white house. I won't get into the food cos the only thing i can think about was our RUDE ARSE WAITER. We had a group of eight people and i admit, we may have stayed there for a little bit just chatting after we had finished our meal. Suddenly, our waiter was telling us we had to leave cos we were taking up his table. Seriously? Who says that to customers? It's okay to think it and complain back in the kitchen but to say it directly to us? And to make me more pissed, there was a big table of white ladies who had been there just as long as we had and were still there enjoying their time. That's right i'm totally throwing the race card out there. I spoke with the manager who happened to be asian and i literally got no sympathy from him. Just a response of i'll be sure to talk to him about that. Wutever. I hate you and your foie gras platter.

Trippin': Dallas - Fort Worth Arts Festival

After the nice little bike ride around white rock, we headed over to the Fort Worth Arts Festival to meet up transam and mascara. I hate that nickname i've given her. I need to think of another one. One day, i'll finally grow up and become a little more sophisticated and maybe a little richer so that i would actually buy some of this stuff. It's expensive! The stuff at these art festivals are really nice. But you know, i'm just not at a place where i can spend that kind of money nor do i have the good taste to purchase items fitting for my future home. My current home is in a state of SPCA-ness. I told big poppa that i need to stop buying junk like shot glasses and magnets when i travel. I need to start collecting classic items unique to whatever place i'm visiting. So i'm drawing a line friends. No more junky souvenirs taking up my over-packed luggage! Back to the arts festival. No art bought. Just a lot of food. Corn on the cob. Corn dogs. Polish dogs. Turkey legs. Dippin' dots. So bad.
