Eggs and bacon Bob Evans

Named after Bob and Jewell Evans’ original farmhouse, this classic includes all of your breakfast favorites: Bob Evans bacon (or sausage), two eggs (ordered over medium), grits (or hashbrown or home fries), a cup of creamy sausage gravy and two biscuits. $9.29

This is apparently a Bob Evans favorite and I can see why. You get a whole lotta food! I couldn’t even begin to finish this order. I don’t know how many calories was in this thing, but I actually enjoyed most of it. The sausage gravy was really thick and delicious. I doused the grits with spoonfuls of it and went to town. The biscuits were also very fluffy and buttery. Not a place I would frequent because I would grow to the size of a house, but it was good to visit this place since we don’t have them in the Bay Area.

Pepperoni pizza Mikey's Late Night Slice

So after a long night at a birthday party, Taj Mahaj bar, then Level we walk outside and find a pizza truck outside the bar, amen! I guess anything would have tasted great at that point. Although I had plenty to drink, I have to say that I wasn’t all that impressed with this pizza. I’ll pass next time. $3

Coffee espresso flavored cake and frosting with coffee bean decorations.

I preferred this mocha cappucino cake over the fresh strawberry cake because the coffee flavor was strong enough to distract from the weird frosting texture, lol! I actually thought these cakes were pretty good, so I’m not trying to knock them. Again, they’re super light and this one was especially flavorful.

Codes had these cakes for his birthday, and they were really good! The cake is REALLY light and I guess they don’t use butter (at least in the frosting?) so it doesn’t taste super heavy and sinful. I’ll admit that I wasn’t a fan of the frosting texture though.

Sushi lovers plate Asian Gourmet & Sushi Bar

3 maguro (tuna), 3 sake (salmon), 3 hamachi (yellowtail), 3 unagi (eel), 3 hirame (halibut – we substituted this for the California roll). Served with miso soup. $33 + $3 substitution charge

This looks really pretty on the plate, but this wasn’t all that great in terms of fresh sushi. The fish was of OK quality and the pieces were super cold (recently defrosted? ew). I’m just glad that they didn’t taste fishy and old. I’m still hoping that I can get good sushi in Ohio! The service was friendly though. This restuarant was SO weird though because it had food from all different Asian countries. It’s like the corner shops in San Francisco that have burgers, Chinese food, and donuts! Can you really trust that they can make any of it authentically or decently?
