Kirin & Sushi Anyone? (picture)

A cute neon sign seen at a local Japanese restaurant that specializes in sushi, soba, udon, and delicious soup, along with, apparently, Kirin beer.

How to Taste Coffee [video]

In other words, how to conduct and describe a coffee tasting - like a wine tasting. Take a moment to listen to this excellent audio piece with lovely accompanying black and white photos from NPR.

 



The story was captured at Baltimore's Artifact Coffee. The gist of the piece is that there is a new trend in Foodie-land: Coffee Tastings in the same vein as classic wine tastings. All the snobby words are there to describe every conceivable quality and characteristic of coffee, from mouth feel to aroma. Not that this Foodie is complaining. I loves me my delicious coffee. :) Happy tasting!

Original Tommy's Open in Ventura!

Holy cow! Original Tommy's has finally opened in Ventura. It sports a drive through window and a huge 800 square-foot patio as well as an ideal location just off the 101 Freeway near Victoria Avenue.

Look for it at 5663 Valentine Road. The burger joint famous for its car lube – like chili opened officially on December 15, 2011, at 10:30 AM, in the new Ventura location. By no means a new business, Original Tommy's was founded in 1946 by Tom Koulax.

Though closed on Christmas Day, original Tommy's Ventura will be open seven days a week and 24 hours a day for those needing their burger and chili fix.

Watch for our review of original Tommy's in Ventura as part of our Ventura Restaurants review coverage. Happy eating!
