Sorry for slacking

Hello people,

I'm sorry that I haven't had the chance to post anything for a bit, I've got a couple of things happening down the pipeline, and I need to catch up on my Oscar movies list before the Big DAY!  But I will be posting new places within the coming week, but in the meantime, take a gander at my previous posts!

Best,

Alan

OMG..Creepiest Advertisement Ever.....




And yet...I feel like some ice cream right now....

Pizzeria Bianco @ 623 East Adams Street, Phoenix






I love a wood fired oven Pizza; it's classic but overlooked cooking method that makes such a difference; from the roasted, smokey toppings to the carbon black, speckled, crunchy carb bottom, it's an all-in-one (every major food group: carbs and yum) gift from heaven.

Pizzeria Bianco is nationally recognized as one of the best Pizzerias in the U.S. and having passed by on numerous occasions, the wait time can be as long as three hours!  Thank god it was relatively bearable outside and there's no denying that the surroundings are quaint, just remember to eat right before you arrive...you'll be hungry by the time you're seated.

Le Thai @ 523 Fremont St, Las Vegas






I'm a big fan of the Downtown area, it's gelling into an authentic urban streetscape that makes me want to move to the area just so I can see it realtimes...albeit I like it more at night than in the daylight hours... (less visible decay)... don't hate me...

I wanted to get more involved with Downtown, and when The Downtown Project presented a panel series of inspirational speakers, I decided it was time to climb out of my nested cocoon and head on down.  And to piggyback the event, I wanted to try Le Thai, a much raved Thai restaurant that recently opened on Freemont Street.

Town Kaimuki @ 3435 Waialae Avenue, Honolulu




This is where the real fun begins: that pivotal moment when you become accustomed to a city after multiple trips; you have a general lay of the land, you've been suckered to all the tourist traps and now you get to really explore the hidden gems and local favorites.

So I'll start my review with my final verdict:
I LOVE Town!!! It's a quintessential local restaurant; the ambience, location and food creates an inviting experience highlighting Hawaiian hospitality with locally grown organic ingredients and innovative combinations that can only be conceived here on this heavenly island of dreams.
