Friday Tuna, Cordova
My family full of picky eaters loves Friday Tuna. I discovered it by accident … I wanted sushi and stopped in while out running errands. I didn’t understand what the host asked me, and ended up at the teppanyaki grill. Let me tell you, that was one amazing and unexpected lunch! Not only did I… Continue reading Friday Tuna, Cordova

LYFE Kitchen Memphis
You only get one chance at a good first impression. Tonight was my first chance to visit the new LYFE Kitchen in Memphis. And I’m disappointed.

Tannoor Grill
The boys and I stumbled onto a new place we like to eat tonight … though it’s another of those “HOW MUCH?!” places that we will only be going to on special occasions, since it’s $30/person.

iSushi — customer service fail
I would really love to comment on the food at iSushi, but, unfortunately, I can’t. You see, I never got served. My teenage sons and I arrived at the restaurant tonight at 20:45 for a late dinner and were seated after a slight delay … which should have been a red flag, since there were… Continue reading iSushi — customer service fail
