Michael Jordan's Steak House, NYC

While in Grand Central Terminal I noticed @ the Michael Jorda's Steak House they where selling bones at the podium. Check out the photos below, my new dog gives them a four out of four. I'm looking forward to going inside and having a great steak dinner.

Grand Central Oyster Bar, New York City

Took a day trip to Grand Central Terminal, what a day.....It's amazing of all the food and beverage venues within this building. Take a walk down the Dining Concourse and visit the Grand Central Oyster Bar. Place accomadates around 500 people and is walk back in time once you enter the room. Three different seating areas and the place has been thier since 1913, yes 99 years. I spoke to some of the waiters that have been their for 40 years. Talk about devotion, you have to either love your job or make tons of cash to be their as a server for 40 years. By looking at the place I feel it both....





The whole complex is a foodies heaven....take a trip!!!

This venues get four out of four corks

Rock Sugar, Los Angeles CA

Another amazing fine, Rock Sugar. One of a kind for now but I'm sure we'll be seeing more over the years to come. It's influenced by cuisines from Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia & India. If you are any kind of foodie you need to check out this menu, web site below. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's amazing what one can create when provided with the right items, farm to table mentality, and passion for what you do. That's a recipe for success....



My hats off to Chef Mohan Ismail and his drive to give us such an experience. As a foodie I was honored dining in his restaurant and tasting his food. Only one in the world....for now.  I highly recommend this place.

In-N-Out Burger, Calabasas California

As we continue our training we received a treat.....and I do mean a treat!!!

Ever year when we go to the Bar & Nightclub Expo in Vegas the first stop we make from the Airport is the In-Out Burger.  I could express my love for this place but you need to visit to become a true believer. Their is so much more to this burger joint that you should know. 


In 1948, the first In-N-Out Burger was founded by Harry and Esther Snyder in Baldwin Park. Harry's idea of a drive-thru hamburger stand where customers could order through a two-way speaker box was quite unique. In that era, it was common to see carhops serving those who wanted to order food from their car. Harry's idea caught on and California's first drive-thru hamburger stand was born.


Their commitment to quality doesn’t stop there. Their lettuce is hand-leafed. Their American cheese is the real thing. And they use the plumpest, juiciest tomatoes we can find. All of their ingredients are delivered fresh to our stores. In fact, we don’t even own a microwave, heat lamp, or freezer. They even bake our buns using old-fashioned, slow-rising sponge dough. And they make every burger one at a time, cooked fresh to order.

It's an amazing burger and put this stop on your bucket list.....Last thing, Double-Double, trust me.....
