July 25--A Red Letter Day!

Not only did B discover a new Chipoltle is headed to his neighborhood, today marked the long awaited return of the Westfield Shoppingtown Southcenter food court!

Today's selection was the always popular Blue C Sushi, which did not disappoint. The spicy tuna was excellent, the potato katsu crispy, the sesame noodles sesame-y. There were, however, some unfortunate hair choices on the part of the wait staff, foremost of which was our very own waiter, Andrew, who decided to shave his head without the use of a mirror. Bad idea, Andy!

Lunch quickly morphed into in-mall snacktime, where we met a girl who lies about the ingredients of milk tea, and a self-serve fro-yo stand. B and J each got a giant tub of yogurt for $5, and R got a jasmine tea from the lying girl. J would rate the yogurt as mediocre at best, but the tea was amusing as R managed to spill it all over herself, despite it being housed in a vacuum sealed container.

J's ratings:

Lunch 4/5
Yogurt 2/5
Good times 3/5

The Jack Shack

We've all been either too busy or too lazy to write about our lunchtime adventures, but know this - we have had lunches - some were fabulous, others were sadly disappointing (Mali Thai) and at least one was down-right scandalous (Joey's). So to make up for the long absence, I'll thrill you with our adventure to: Joeys (their apostrophe is missing, not mine)... Even though I was warned , I had to see it for myself. Joey's is Cowboy Ugly and the Pussy Cat Dolls Lounge all rolled into one, great-big southend jack shack. To get the full effect, we sat in the bar where all the waitresses are 1. Former female strippers, 2. Current female strippers, and 3. Really know how to sex up an entree so you'll want to buy it. At first, I was overcome with the smart, sleek interior design. I felt like I was at The Parker in Palm Springs . The architecture is open and modern, the colors hip, and the booths are sleek. I was so busy ogling the fabulous design that I didn't even s...

Teavana Some Tea?

After a Blue C anomaly (no Dede) and some Red Mango with cereal (the strawberries looked pureed) , J, R and B headed to the first floor of South Center to check out the new Teavana store. B received a gift card to Teavana for Christmas, and wanted to check out the tea possibilities. As soon as we stepped into Teavana, the tea vultures were instantly upon us with syrupy samples of teas like: Moonlight Mango Magic and Coco-Berry Cantaloupe Blend---huh? J and B tried to avoid direct eye contact and focused on the tasteful and tacky tea accoutrements (some tasteful, many tacky) To B's surprise, R seems to be really enjoying the tea experience, to the point of befriending the peppy personnel who looked as if they had indulged in too much caffeine and sugar. And I mean way too much caffeine and sugar. What did they put in R's “sample”?? R made a tea purchase (a blend of two teas no less—fancy pants) and we attempted to leave the store only to be foiled by the sample machine. Makes me...
