Souper Cup O Noodles

Cup O Noodles is trying to kill me with there newest concoction. As some of you may already know, I actually used to only survive on noodles that came out of a cup, that is until the massive heartburns every night made me stop, but I have never fully let go of my favorite after work meal, but this, this is suicide. It has 270 Calories, 90 from fat, and it is 25% of your daily SATURATED fat. This ticking time bomb of a soup actually contains 53% of your daily sodium. The thing must be just noodles and salt. All of that is only if you eat half of the Cup which isn't likely, holy crap, If I am not at work on Monday you know why.

Greek Corner

Great little Greek restaurant on the corner of Damen and Augusta. Its a small restaurant with a little seating area but this place would probably serve just as well getting your food for pick up. I'm not actually telling a big secret but I hadn't been here before and had always heard of this place. Its been written up in Timeout Chicago a few times so I knew It wasn't going to be terrible, but I was still pleasantly surprised. I got my standard Greek meal that I almost always get, a chicken gyro with all the toppings, feta cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and tsatsiki sauce. This thing was huge, it was overflowing the pita and had cheese and sauce every where. The food was great and, for sure, it was filling. Also something I had never had before caught me of guard as being really good, avgolemono soup (egg lemon soup made with rice and chicken broth) For under 2$. At the end I took some bites of there baklava which was really sweet but also really good. If you are ever in the neighborhood you should check it out. In the summer they have an outdoor patio you can sit at but it is gated so you feel kinda like you are in jail. Also they are BYOB and its not hard to get really full for 10$ so its a nice little spot.

Chicago Baseball

Wrigley

US Comiskular

I some how have already been able to go to both a Cubs and Sox game this year and both were a success. Sox won on a walk off hit by a pitch, strangest ending t o a baseball game I have ever seen and the Cubs straight blew the Reds out of the water. I am real excited about the rest of the year. Sorry Ray.

Ron Of Japan

I cant believe I have not written about this place before. I have loved their food since the first time I went there years ago. The other night I went to Ron of Japan in the city and as usual it was amazing. Ron of Japan is a teppan style restaurant, which means that they cook the meal at the table you are sitting at, with usually strangers sitting next to you unless you have a group of eight or more. Your plate which is steel sits right there on the grill and as the cook finish each portion he just scoops it on to your plate, some times there is a little theatrics involved. a giant flame or flippin knives and slapping spatulas

Now the eating, the waitress comes out and gives you a fresh towel to clean your hands and face with then takes your order. For dinner I ordered the crown fillet which starts off with some miso soup, delicious, then a salad, which has a spicy thousand island type dressing, also amazing, then the chef comes out with a cart full of meats and sauces, oh and a bucket of butter and egg sauce. The egg sauce which goes on everything is what makes their food so good. I know that it is probably not good for you since it is a heart attack in sauce form but its just so good. First he cooks the shrimp with egg sauce appetizer and then some vegetables everything cooked to perfection. Next maybe my favorite is the beef fried rice which I like to add my grilled veggies too and then dowse it in terryaki sauce and have them put some of the egg sauce in, later after eating some of it I add my main meal. The main plate is the Fillet which is unbelievable and cooked exactly the way I like it. So after trying to even fit all that goodness into my stomach, which normally doesn't happen, but this time I finished it all, there is dessert. Ice creams or pineapple I went with the rocky road. Another overall very enjoyable night out at the old Ron of Japan.
