Made the anual trip to veges with the mini club. Going to check out some new fooding digs and will post them up! Can’t wait.

So I am posting this with a new software for my laptop. Hopefully it works the way that I am expecting. If so it will make posting to my blog much easier!

Here goes nothing.

Pizza from Nuch’s

Just testing the new iPhone app for crash!

Took the fam for some dinner tonight. Thought we would try out the new diggs at Jordan Landing. Santa Monica Pizza and Pasta.

I am re-visiting this one to say that it was not as good as it could have been.  It had such potential but just didn’t live up.  We ordered a small pizza, a calzone and some tomato bread.  The bread came out first and was pretty good.  Next the Hawaiian Pizza, which was just ok.  Finally they brought us the calzone which I had high hopes for.  When I cut it in half it was not even close to what I was expecting.  It was loaded with chicken, white sauce and mushrooms.  FAIL!  I had ordered one with Peperoni, sausage, onion, green peppers and marinara sauce.  I grabbed the server and tried to explain what was wrong.  She said she would get us the right one.  A few seconds later I realized I forgot to tell her “no mushrooms” so I went to clarify.  When I finally found someone to talk to, she said to would look into it.

A few mins later another calzone came to the table.  I cut into it hoping it would be good.  Bam, mushrooms.  FAIL!  By this time I was just not happy.  So we cut the thing in half, picked out the shrooms and ate what we could.  A few mins later another one came out from the kitchen.  I just told the server to take it back.  We packed our things and left.

Not sure I will be able to bring myself to give the place a second try.  I usually give places a 3 strike grace!

Fooding not a win.

As many of you may know I am a big fan of Indian food.  So it was recomended that we try a place in Herndon, Va.  And this place has some great fooding!

We picked our poison and placed the order.  Such good choices were made!

We got a combo plate as an appetizer which had so many good tastes on it!  One of which was a very hot pepper!

We ordered 3 different types of Naan 2 that I normally get and one that was new to me.  It was so good.  It had cherries, almonds and brown sugar inside!  So tasty!  Sadly I didn’t take a pic of it.  But I did get some of the foods!  So good, so fooding!

So the lunch choice one of the days was to get some buffalo wings from the Buffalo Wing Factory.  Wings are always a good choice in my opinion.  I love a good spicy wing.  And this place was very good.

I am told that the guys came here once before I started working with them and Russ did the Wing challenge !  10 Face Melting wings!  He was able to pull it off and got his name an the Wall of Flame!

After a little show and tell we sat and made a menu choice.  We ordered the Loaded Fries as an appetizer .

They were good fries.

I ordered the Extra Hot Wings and that was 3 levels below the “waiver required” wings!

The others got good ones too!

I need to find a better wing place in SLC!

Fooding in Virginia brought me an my coworkers to a local burger joint called Foster’s Grille.  I feel that it was a good burger.  I like he you just enter and grab a pad menu and write circle what you want.

The decor seems different than most places like this, I was a little surprised to see a car upside down on the ceiling.

After waiting a little bit the food was brought to the table.  I got the Cheese burger and Fries.  Both were good.  The only thing that could have been better is if they were to wire brush the grill a little more.  I like open flame but it needs to be done right.  The burger quality was very good though.  The fries are fresh cut and good.  I think they must double fry them to get them the way they do.

But if you are in Virginia feel free to check it out.

Mo’ Bettah Steaks is one of our favorite quick eats places.  The fooding is simple and very tasty.  The menu doesn’t have a lot of choices, but what they do have is fantastic!

I tend to always go with the Pulehu Steak with rice and their secret Macaroni Salad!  Then once at the table I douse the rice with their amazing Teryaki sauce!  I have never been disappointed with any thing that I have ordered.

One of the favorite things to get is the Shaved Ice.  I used to only be served during the warmer months but they are going to keep it longer this year.  I love it with a snow cap!  Try it and love it!

Meet you at Mo’s!

On our trip to Folsom, Ca for a wedding we found a little German restaurant.  The fare was good.

I ordered the Jaeger Schnitzel and Kor got the Brat.  Both were very good.

The food was Fooding for sure.  So if you ever go to Folsom old towne give it a try.

On our trip to Northern Cal, we found a little cheese steak shop.  So we made the short trip there for a “Steak!”

The local was in a strip-mall which seem to work for steak shops.

I got the full 12 inches of steaky goodness.  Kor’s was a bit smaller.

For not being in Philly it was an acceptable steak.

Enjoy your fooding!
