Tummy Tukwila

Okay, okay... I was gone for a week - I took a tour of Minnesota, Wisconsin and had a day in Chicago with my partner, J (yet another J for you to keep track of) for her cousin's wedding. But here is my report - Tummy Tukwila at large: Good food in Minnesota, for the most part, is scarce - and at the Mall of America, it's just plain weird. J and I dared ourselves to eat at Bubba Gump , a Forrest Gump theme restaurant, and like the movie, the restaurant gave me indigestion. J is an avid deep-fry fan, but Bubba's actually exhausted her desire for all things deep-fried for something like 3 days (totally unheard of). Our meal consisted mostly of deep-fry: deep-fried fish, deep-fried shrimp, french fries, and some alcohol to wash it down. I ordered these shrimp/fish deep-fried balls and they were tasty in a omg - this is totally clogging my arteries sort of way. J is usually pretty adventurous when it comes to food, but not even she dared to order the "Boat Trash" ...
