Best Buy A Little Dyslexic

Looks like Best Buy is a little dyslexic or there's a new iPhone G3 out that I don't know about.

Prestonwood Country Club

So I went and had lunch at the Prestonwood Country Club because my friend was a member there.  The atmosphere was rich and elegant.  And the food was pretty good.  I was impressed that they had a buffet going.  So I grabbed the Chicken Cordon Bleu, Blacked Catfish, and Tenderloin soaked in gravy.  I also got some tuna salad.  I did sprinkle the world's best seasoning on it though, bacon.  The chicken and fish was ok but the tenderloin was good.  I had seconds of the tenderloin and tuna salad with bacon.  Their dessert was also good.  I ended the meal with a creamy rich chocolate mousse cake with a dallop of homemade whip cream.  Needless to say that was very good.

Get Smart is Awesome

Just finished watching Get Smart at a special preview courtesy of DallasPartyRentals.com. The movie was everything I expected it to be. It was totally hilarious. Steve Carell was perfect for the role of Maxwell Smart. It also had kept all the feel of the original series while adding its on flare. This is definitely a movie to be watched.

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Went to watch "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" and it was so bad I had to wash my brain out with The Incredible Hulk.  It was totally predictable and totally fun to watch.  Have to say the special effects kicked the previous Hulk's ass.  If you like the first Hulk movie then this one will blow your mind.  Ok, maybe not that extreme but it was worth the money that I paid for popcorn and soda.  Which is probably more than the actual ticket price.

You Don't Mess with the Zohan

You don't mess with the Zohan is right.  Don't touch it, don't watch it, actually, don't even go near it.  The preview of course looked like it would be an awesome movie but this have got to be the worst Adam Sandler movie I have seen so far. The premise was fine and it had a lot of potential but at some point in time it crossed the line from funny to obnoxious. Frankly the first quarter of the movie was the best part. But Emmanuelle Chriqui helped it a lot.

MasterGrill Brazilian Buffet

 

Went to eat at the MasterGrill at the Firewheel Town Center last night and frankly I was a little disappointed.  Even though it had 16 different cuts of meat to choose from, the meat themselves were mostly over cooked and even more salty than Fogo de Chao or Rafain.  They had the usual sets of meat but the most notable are the bacon wrap filet mignon, garlic picanha, and sweet beef.  Of course my favorite is the sweet beef.  Sweet beef are tender beef cubes marinated in a juicy brown sauce and brushed with a honey like glaze.  The price for dinner runs about $34 with 18% tip.  That's actually not bad compared to Fogo de Chao at close to $50.

Would I recommend this Brazilian steak house?  Probably not as long as Rafain is still around.  Just writing this makes me want to go back to Rafain for their lunch meat buffet.

The Porkchop at Carrabba's

Da Won vs. Chef Hsu

And the winner is...  Sorry, it's a tie.  Maybe because Chef Hsu is not a full fledge Chinese restaurant.  It's owned by Koreans after all.  Each of these restaurants serve different menus so it was hard to judge.  In the end, I ended up ordering from both.  I ordered Kalbi (short-ribs) and Kimchi soup from Da Won and Cha-Jang Myun (Korean black bean noodles) from Chef Hsu.  I think the Kalbi was better than the Korean Garden on Coit and Park.  But I still like the Kimchi soup at Korean Garden more than Da Won.  The Cha-Jang Myun was very good.  The black bean was rich in flavor and the noodles were very fresh.  It also had stewed beef in the black bean sauce.  As for the Kalbi, the meat was thick and juicy and easily falls of the bones.  In the future, I will try out the Sweet and Sour Beef by Chef Hsu.

Da Won and Chef Hsu is located in the new Korean Grocery Store on the Southeast corner of Spring Creek Parkway and Custer Rd.

Update: The sweet and sour beef from Chef Hsu is not bad at all.  I ask them to separate the sweet and sour sauce though because that tends to cause the crispy beef to get soggy.  The sweet and sour beef was on the pricier side at $10 but I think it is worth it for the amount they give you and how good it tastes.  Last time I ordered this, the meat was tender with a crispy shell.  I bought my own sweet and sour dipping sauce which made this entree totally awesome.

My New Toy

My birthday present from Lee. It has flashing lights in the front and is capable of decapitating small animals. Actually, the warning label on the box says not to attack people with it. Which means that is exactly what I will do. :P
