So good was the price I was almost positive we were going. But then we let our conscious get the best of us and decided it was too much of a load with all the other things on our calendar on top of a marriage in Austin. Of course during the time I thought we were going I was already looking at what and where to eat.
I couldn't stop as spot after spot and dish after dish stood out to me. I certainly wasn't unfamiliar with Japanese cuisine but I soon learned there's so much more of it I need to explore. So instead of going to Japan, for the time being anyway, we booked a fantastically priced ticket to Seattle where there's good Japanese food. Also since then I've been cooking a good amount of Japanese food myself with the help of the internet and Mitsuwa Market out in Arlington Heights.
As easy of a recipe as there is, especially if you get the ready to fry pork at Mitsuwa pictured above. Labels: asian , dumplings , grocery , Japanese , KingT , noodles , recipe , sandwiches , suburbs.
Wednesday, March 23, Glaze Teriyaki. Today's post is on one of those style of spots. The specialty of the house is Seattle style Teriyaki chicken. Its called that due to a Japanese man in Seattle who's teriyaki shop spawned handfuls of imitators to the point where damn near every neighborhood in Seattle now has a spot where one can indulge in grilled teriyaki glazed chicken. Glaze is giving Chicago its first option, well outside of mall food courts anyway.

Most all conversation about best fried chicken in America will likely include Gus's so you can bet that folks from all across the country were excited about the news of expansion. I know I was interested in trying them out. Seeing as how I've been to many of the spots mentioned when best fried chicken is discussed I was eager to see how it compared to some of the others.
