What I Ate: May 19, 2010 (Which Wich)
Posted 20 May, 2010 at 10:02pm by Michael Chu
Lunch: Ate a quick lunch at Which Wich - the Thank You Turkey Sandwich (turkey, stuffing, and cranberry) with some veggies added. Pretty good - I'll put it on my list of sandwiches I like there.
Dinner: Tina worked for a few hours to make this crawfish, shrimp, and chicken jambalaya. The rice came out a little soggy (started to burn because the burner was on too high so she added some more water) but the flavor was fantastic. I ate a couple bowls.
What I Ate: May 18, 2010 (Casino El Camino)
Posted 19 May, 2010 at 11:42pm by Michael Chu
Dinner: We returned to the home of the best burgers in Austin - Casino El Camino (517 East 6th Street, Austin, TX - (512) 469-9330) - to try another couple burgers. We ordered two different 3/4 pound burgers and split them. I had the Chicago which was simple: bacon, romaine lettuce, tomato, and cheddar cheese. The flavor of the burger was fairly mild overall, but the loosely packed burger patty was still really good and matched well with the thick chewy slices of bacon. An extra sprinkle of salt really helped out.
The Pitts Burger (sauteed mushrooms, provolone cheese, and A1 steak sauce) had a much stronger flavor and it was difficult going from the Pitts to the Chicago because of the strong A1 Steak sauce.

What I Ate: Mary 16, 2010 (Costco)
Posted 17 May, 2010 at 7:12pm by Michael Chu
Lunch & Dinner: I ate a Costco Chicken Caesar Salad for lunch and dinner.
We also augmented dinner with some steamed artichokes.
What I Ate: May 15, 2010 (McCormick & Schmick's)
Posted 16 May, 2010 at 4:35pm by Michael Chu
Dinner: At dinnertime, we found ourselves near The Domain, so we decided to try McCormick & Schmick's (11600 Century Oaks Ter, Austin, TX - (512) 836-0500).
We started with Crispy Buttermilk Fried Oysters with Lemon Tabasco Aioli. The oysters were decent, but two of them had really chewy portions that was so rubbery I thought I was chewing on an overcooked piece of clam instead of oysters. I did like the addition of tabasco with the aioli, but would have preferred a nicer presentation. It turns out, this was probably the best looking dish we had. The bed of spinach was great.

What I Ate: May 14, 2010 (Crab Salad Sandwich; Crab & Crawfish Boil)
Posted 15 May, 2010 at 9:38pm by Michael Chu
Lunch: I had the rest of the crab salad on a toasted bun with some beet and carrot salad.
Dinner: Tina and I did a Crab and Crawfish boil. We cooked over a pound of crawfish, two pounds of king crab legs, sweet corn, red potatoes, and a couple sausages.
What I Ate: May 13, 2010 (Ryu of Japan, Chuy's)
Posted 14 May, 2010 at 11:08pm by Michael Chu
Lunch: After my home owner's association meeting in the morning at the KB Home offices in North Austin, I found myself a block from Ryu of Japan (11101 Burnet Road, Austin, TX - (512) 973-9498) so I stopped in to order some sushi to take home and share with Tina. Overall, we decided that it's best to eat there as take out just doesn't seem as good.

What I Ate: May 12, 2010 (Red Robin)
Posted 13 May, 2010 at 3:58pm by Michael Chu
Lunch: We made crab salad sandwiches with crab claw meat.
Dinner: We had a late dinner at Red Robin where I discovered they sold a bottomless root beer float. All you can drink vanilla soft serve and Barq's root beer for less than $4? How could I not order it!

Lunch and Dinner: I ate a couple bowls of kale and potato soup (that Tina made - delicious!) and ate the leftover Applebee's chicken quesadilla.
To help streamline my evening schedule, starting tomorrow, I'll be posting my photos of what I ate on the day after I ate them.
