The Centre Page, yet another overseas suggestion

Another London Suggestion

The Centre Page

My Aunt took this picture and thoroughly made fun of me 

Across the Millennium Bridge, London, Eng, UK

   I know restaurants overseas is a little difficult to get to but hey I enjoyed my stay.

The Centre Page, on the other side of the millennium bridge, a decent location compared to everything around it. Now I don’t really remember where it is since my Aunt and I did so much walking, ha, buuuut everyone in the area are very nice, so don’t feel nervous to ask for directions.

The Chips were good

Now I know this wasn’t a coastal restaurant so this may not have been the best thing to order, but I so bravely asked for….Fish and Chips. Oh believe me I will definitely wait to be at the coast to order this again, it wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t that great. Ok I’m lying my aunt and I got crazy sick after we left, having to share one hotel bathroom…goodness. Now I’m not digging on the restaurant itself, because I liked it, it’s actually a tavern (complete with old school pub decor) and pretty fun to be in, it obviously is a big tourist spot because the servers are very accommodating to odd requests (like taking pictures with me). But I think if I get back I’ll just drink my face off at the bar. That or order something the wait staff actually recommends, that’s normally a better idea.

 I guess until next time.  Feel free to leave a comment be-low.

There are more things to do with food, than chew.

ESH Eat Simply Healthy

Just a Suggestion

ESH Eat Simply Healthy

London, Eng, UK

If you ever find your way to London (the England one ya know) take a beat at ESH Eat Simply Healthy

Now I know it sounds like a health kick place but it’s pretty great. This place got me hooked on fresh hummus and pita, among some other things.

Everything they have is right in front of you on a – to be simple- conveyer belt, and each thing is on a different colored plate to show the different prices. The environment is relaxed, the people very friendly, and its easy to work if you’re a stranger.              

Now this is a Lebanese influenced place, if for some reason that just isn’t your favorite type of food, then maybe this place isn’t for you. Buuuut it your down for trying new things and you get the opportunity to be in this area, or you live in this area, then make sure you take a breath and pull up a stool. I don’t know if there are multiples of this side restaurant but I went to the one in Harrods you can take the Tube to this area, the Piccadilly Line and the Knightsbridge Station, pretty easy, and don’t forget to just buy a Tube day pass and visit all of Harrods, this mall is beyond huge. So if your ever here, enjoy, have fun, and if your coming from the States “Mind The Gap”.

Oh, The In-and-Out Burger Review

In-and-out Burger

Arlington, TX

Interesting History…Not so Interesting Burger.

Since this place has everyone up-n-at’em I have decided to give it at least two tries. And with all the hype from the California natives and visitors I thought In-and-Out Burger would blow my mind and the line wrapped building was helping to drive that thought home.

Try Numero Uno:  Hamburger, Boasting a 100% pure beef patty, lettuce, tomato, and a “spread” (Mystery?), on a bun. With regular potato fries.

(Burger information received from http://www.in-n-out.com/menu.asp)

Oh how disappointed was I when I bit into that burger and all I tasted was tomato and onion. The burger could very well be fresh and flavorful just like everyone claims but the only flavor I grasped was, plain, the best parts were around the harder cooked edges. Don’t get me wrong the food wasn’t bad, but I definitely don’t think it is worth the line or the hype, and let’s get real, fries are fries.

Burger Flirtation Numero Dos:  Animal Burger and Animal Fries

Ok with the fries they have added an onion sauce with caramelized onions, bacon bits, 1000 island dressing, and loads of cheese. Now I could have done without the 1000 island and cheese ( I found myself eating around that) but the onion sauce, caramelized onions, and bacon, excellent choices!  Just the right flavor combos at just the right amounts and the fork that comes with it, very necessary (unless you dig the messy finger look).

Animal Burger, the burger honestly is the same, they have added the onion sauce, caramelized onions, and 100 island, which again I could have done without the 1000, and once more the onions and sauce serve to boost the flavor on the otherwise plain burger, but again lets be real the burger is a burger and at the end of all of this, I just don’t see the big deal. But what can you do, fast food is fast food.
