Winter Restaurant Week

I know. i Know. I KNOW. We are all going down in recession. I am sick of that word. So are a lot of people. Especially the ones directly impacted by it. We are all victims. And the world is going to end. The ozone is cracking and that's the last thing on everyone's minds. Life must go on and you can't not eat... so!

I chose to go in denial for one night and go check out Kobe Club with a friend for restaurant week. Side note: love the redesign of the restaurant week site - so much easier now to look at menus. Whoever thought of it = genius! Restaurant week is sort of LIKE saving money since they give you an app, main, and dessert for 35$. Excluding tax tips and bev...wait why is this a deal again? Oh yes American Express donates 25 CENTS to charity if you use their card - that's what's the big deal!




I got carried away with catching up on old times and winery, so sue me for the wobbly pics. Kobe Club specializes in steakery and some seafood, which I have to admit I don't religiously know enough about, but I am a-learnin-along. And you saw right - I just ate dinner under 200 Samurai swords. I could've been the next wagyu whatever. (Okay I exaggerate, I was actually just sitting under ten or twelve knives, but still.) And there are bricky side booths where you sit inside a hole in the wall sorta. It had an interesting secret spot dungeons and dragons ninjas playing with stars and chains kind of vibe. The bathrooms were pretty cool too - I guess they make the toilet water extra minty ice cold so that when you piss, it gives off steam. ANYWAY up there is a tuna tartare appetizer. I don't think the food would be worth the regular $100-200+ price, but the decor was extremely impressive. I would recommend it for restaurant week though. As a matter of fact, Kobe Club is extending their restaurant week menu until March 31st Tuesdays-Saturdays, so hurry up and march your tooshies over there if you want to check it out. Just remember that wagyu in general is a lot richer and fatty compared to whatever you usually cut up at home, so don't order over 8-10 ounces per person or you will wake up up in the middle of the night feeling like you are going through some artery clogs... trust me on that one.

And then we came across a really cool 9 who tried to eat me. Or a really cute e... how confusing.
