waving to old friends

Howdy folks,

I forgot about this group and stumbled back on it looking for an alternative to Yahoogroups. I'm a long time reader and poster from back in the days when it was on usenet.

A few names I recognize, (Hi Mark!) Have you been able to catch Alton Brown's new show? I was not impressed with the first episode but it may get better. I just need to get Cooking Channel added to my streaming service first.

Toni :)

Haven't seen it yet, no. I'll have to see if I can catch it.

Toni: I don't recognize your name, but I started posting here in maybe 1994, so I'm guessing that we exchanged notes at some point.

I started at around '97 or '98. I think I recall your name from some restaurant reviews.

Speaking of which I've tried a few new ones lately.

Fish Tales on Central and 15th in Plano. Menu, food and decor is nearly identical to Fish Shack around the corner. Comparable prices as well. Except with Fish Tales you don't get to make your own red sauce. I've accidentally created a new decongestant over doing it on the horseradish a few times at Fish Shack. :-D

Two Sushi places opened about the same time in east Plano. I tried them both. Yellow Tale sushi buffet on Central between Spring Creek and Parker. Owners used to run Osaka Sushi that closed. Buffet is smaller than Japan House down the street but they went with quality over quantity and it is slightly cheaper than Japan House. I think they are giving Japan House a run for their money because they are starting to advertise more.

Tokyo Harbor on Central between 15th and Plano Parkway. I've been twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. They have Hibachi but I only did the sushi side. I wanted to like this place but it's just kinda okay. Rolls menu is majority cooked stuff and I generally go for raw or sashimi.

as always, ymmv
