Sauteed chicken with hot chili, garlic, and fresh basil. $11.99
Tara Thai, Herndon VA
This was more flavorful than there pad thai, but it still lacked the intensity of flavor that I expect in Thai food. It made me so sad! 😦 The chicken was cooked nicely though – still tender and not overcooked.
Spicy fried chicken served with corn sorghum waffle, butter, and vanilla cinnamon syrup. $15.99
The Fremont Diner, Sonoma CA
This was delicious! The chicken was a little greasy, but I loved the seasoning and the heat. I didn’t think it was very spicy, but I do love me some Nashville hot chicken! The waffle was also really tasty especially with some of the syrup on top.
$9.99
Hyderabadi Biryani Corner, Herndon VA
This was tasty and it had a nice spicy kick to it. The large Indian community in Hernndon sure makes for some great, authentic ethnic food! Noms!
$9.99
Hyderabadi Biryani Corner, Herndon VA
Omg, this biryani was SO delicious! I loved the roasted chicken pieces underneath. They were very tender, juicy, and flavorful. The long-grain rice was also cooked and seasoned perfectly.
Rice, steamed vegetables, roll, Treacle toffee ice cream. Complimentary
Rome (FCO) to Chicago (ORD), United Airlines
This wasn’t very good. The chicken curry was ok, the rice was dry, the radicchio salad was gross, the roll was a throwaway, and the ice cream was marginal. Hmm… United can definitely do better.
Candied house-cured bacon, bourbon pecan caramel. $14
Mulebone, Washington DC
Mmm, this was really good! The fried chicken was nice and juicy and the bacon was crispy and flavorful. This was definitely on the sweet side, but the flavors were great.
Served with ranch dressing, celery, carrots. 10 wings $9.50
Red Hot & Blue, Herndon VA
Apparently this place has closed since my visit. I’m not surprised. The food was marginal. I’m not even sure why they called these chicken wings “jumbo” since they were fairly small. They were also over-cooked and dry. The bartender was friendly though.
With steamed broccoli and brown rice. $10.95
Sorabol, San Francisco CA
I will say that even though the Korean food at Sorabol is no where near the best, they are definitely consistent which is a huge plus in my book. You’re always certain what you’re gonna get and there aren’t any surprises. And you get a lot of food for a decent price – a rarity when it comes to downtown lunches in San Francisco.
Served with beans & rice, green beans. $5.99
King Pollo, Sterling VA
This chicken was good. I liked the flavors, but it was a little on the dry side. The sides were also decent. You certainly got a lot of food for the price, though!
Served with ranch dressing, carrots and celery. 6 pieces $8.95
Harvey’s, San Francisco CA
I suppose anything covered in buffalo wing sauce can’t be that bad. These were still on the dry side though, but I didn’t expect much at Harvey’s…
Beans, cheese, salsa fresco, guacamole, and sour cream. Happy hour $4
Frida’s Mexican Grill, Napa CA
It was kind of amusing how small this plate was, even for happy hour. It was pretty good though and at least they tried to make it interesting.
Grapevines.
With chipotle chile and ranch dressing dip. Happy hour $5
Frida’s Mexican Grill, Napa CA
I was a little disappointed with these wings, partly because they looked so sad and lonely arranged on the plate. I guess 5 tiny wings look weird when they’re placed singly on a plate. And these wings were definitely frozen and of poor quality.
House margarita. Happy hour $3
Not the best tasting, but I really can’t complain for three bucks.
