Nordstrom Cafe Bistro

Located on the top floor of the Valleyfair Nordstrom. I ordered the shrimp salad with cilantro lime dressing. Except they ran out of shrimp and got chicken instead. Still pretty tasty but I'd like to try it again with shrimp.

Phonethips Baby Shower

Only 20 people scheduled to come but we had enough food for 50 people. It's the Chu way!

Watertown, NY: Bob Evans

Got the pancakes with strawberry topping this time. Meh. Pretty standard and not fantastic.

Watertown, NY: Fireside at Partridge Berry Inn

Cabin looking restaurant in Watertown. I got the steak with mashed potatoes. It wasn't all that great. The steak seasoning was odd but even so, the steak was very chewy. Mashed potatoes were good but meh for broccoli.

Montreal: Circos Café-Resto-Bar

Resturant located in the lobby of the Hilton in Montreal. We stopped by for a late dinner because it was pouring rain outside. I got the calamari and eggrolls. Decent but way over priced. Servings were not satisfying.

Montreal: Cuisine Szechuan

Small little place that is definitely family owned. I got the Thai fried rice. The portions were huge! It was good but a bit too salty for me. Had tons of left overs so I packed them up and gave it to homeless people.

Montreal: L Avenue

Very popular breakfast place. I got the French toast and the serving size was out of this world. This would even be too big for the Chu's. Must have had two bananas sliced up. Delicious but I was over stuffed trying to finish! I might have ate half.

Montreal: Mangosteen

I shopped at the grocery store in Chinatown in Montreal. Good thing about Canada is that they import fruits so I was able to enjoy this delicious mangosteen. I couldn't find green mango. :(

Montreal: Gauthier Resturant

I think that is the name of where we went. It was either French or Italian. I got the duck confit. Very good. The potatoes were yummy as well.

Alex Bay, NY: Riveredge Resort

What a piece of shit restaurant this is! This resort had an expensive restaurant that we went to that had a nice view and that was about it. Eric's mom found a butter wrapper in her salad. WTF?!! There were numerous flies everywhere and constantly landing on our food. Gross!! I got the the stuffed prawns with rice. Disgusting! It was like it was a week old! Very dry and had a rotten seafood flavor. Also, never once did the server come refill our water. The service horrible! Along with the bill was a survey card...yes! Boy did I let them have it! I wrote a paragraph! Made me feel better.

Watertown, NY: Bob Evans

Went back to Bob Evans for breakfast and I tried their southwest biscuit bowl. What a mistake! I saw a lot of people eating this the times I went before and thought its be a good choice. It may be popular but it wasn't good! Flavor was lacking, biscuit was soggy. It was just a mess.

Watertown, NY: Sobros Restaurant

I ordered the 16 oz grilled French cut pork chop with honey bourbon glaze. BEST PORK CHOP IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! It was so juicy and sweet and delicious! Makes my mouth water just thinking about it! Took lots of photos but I should have gotten a side shot. It was about 2 inches thick. Yes! The best!

Watertown, NY: Bob Evans

Kind of like a Marie Callendars type of restaurant. We went there for breakfast and I got strawberry crepes. Wasn't bad but could also be better.
