Sushi Yoshizumi
This week’s dinner was on a Saturday, which is fairly rare for us (we always try to avoid the weekend reservations) and even more rare because it was for the second seating which started at 8:15PM, which is late for us old folks. It was also in San Mateo (Bryan did you ever eat here…

Ken
This week we weren’t able to eat on Thursday since Andrea had a filing deadline and was working crazy hours, so i booked this for Sunday. I saw an article a few days ago in The Infatuation and saw that we had eaten at most of the restaurants on the list, so of course I…

Nisei

Noodle in a Haystack
This week’s dinner was at a small high end ramen restaurant that seats 10-12 people. This was the Spring Extended menu, so dishes change seasonally and the extended menu differs from the weeknight counter menu, but is largely the same as the Friday Sake Pairing Extended menu (which features a couple different dishes and exclusive…

Akikos
Enjoyed a delicious omakase lunch with Plamen to celebrate his new job. It was so great to see him and catch up and ruminate on the impact of AI on the future of humanity.

Niku Steakhouse
It had been awhile since we had eaten here (Jan 4, 2020 to be exact). Always so many restaurants to try here so we don’t repeat very often. But we’d been so disappointed with any other steakhouse (Mastros, Harris, STK), but we did have a great experience here last time. So when on our reservation,…
