By the way, I’ve been there three times now. I’m pretty sure “Boba Tea” must mean “Crack Cocaine” in SOME language, because I am hooked. Oh yes, try the red bean. Sounds terrible, but is unbelievably good.

Comment on Dinner at John Alexander’s by Jascha

Hi again! I visited the John Alexander’s last night-I tried Ribeye steaks, their special Shrimp Thai salad, and Apple pie. My friend tried Tuna special with mango and pomegrante reduction.
* Steak - maybe Sirloin would have been better. It tasted really good, but the texture was a bit too chewy/ they did not ask me how I wanted my steak cooked. But it was not salty, flavor was really nice.
* Salad - it was a bit off and on.. had too much lime taste and too many cucumber pieces. But very fresh, very nice flavor if not counting the lime.
* Apple Pie - the best apple pie ever! Really nice dough (more like tart than pie), and fresh apple taste without much “goo” or much “sugary-ness”
Tuna looked great, too.
The only not-good item:their breads. They were soggy and not crunchy/ not tasty. Butter that came along with the breads were good ,though.
Will definately visit again. I hear their Sunday brunch is really fabulous.

Comment on Balsamic Vinegar Caramelized Onions by Katy Reeder

I once left these onions sitting untended for a little too long, at a little too high of heat, in my brother Jim’s cast iron skillet, which pretty much was the ruin of the pan. Not sure I’ve been forgiven yet!

This might have been the best day of the summer! Great weather, good friend, nice ride, and fantastic Boba tea!!! I can honestly say we had a little taste of heaven that day.

This is such a wonderful recipe but I can not take the credit for it. The recipe was taken from the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. It is one of my very favorite books and this recipe is one I will go back to again and again.

Cafe Muse is run by http://www.greenmarketcater.com/in/ I think they’re not the same as Mosaic Foods.

I had the same reaction. And the same meal. I really like mahi mahi and while my meal was not terrible–I love spicy dishes–it was not one that made we think, “ah, I want to come back here.” Unlike, say Perkins, I would not refuse to go again, and maybe I need to give it another try. I have talked to one other person who really likes it, one who hated it, and a couple of others who thought it was acceptable.
