Stanford Grill

Found this place in Columbus, Maryland. The ahi tuna salad looked amazing but since I was in Maryland I felt like I should go to with the crab cake salad.

The salad was everything Avacado was everything I was expecting and more. The heat from the crab cake balanced the coolness of the salad. The avacado was delicious and was an excellent compliment to the salad which tasted almost like salsa rather than s salad. The grapefruit added some sour to the mix and was an odd but welcomed addition to the medley.

Phillips Seafood @ BWI

Pretzel sticks with crab and artichoke dip. Very cheesy, delicious but very heavy. Pretzel bread was awesome but not enough to finish the dip. They charged me $1.50 for another pair.

Crab cake bites topping fried calamari served with a zesty Asian and more traditional tartar sauces. I am not a huge fan of fried calamari but the crab cake bites were great. The zesty Asian sauce saved the fried calamari for me.

I typed it of with Phillips amber lager which was full bodied amber. Good taste but a bit to heavy for me given what I was eating.

Sushiko On Mondays

Best place for sushi on Mondays. They have a great deal on assorted specialty roles and drinks.

Great roll deal. We like sticking to the specialty rolls. However, I do like the spicy tuna and abacado hand roll.

We always order a lot. It looks like way too much but somehow it always gets finished!

Pretzel bread burger on united domestic first

First class Houston to Seattle dinner consisted of two options. Five cheese ravioli and pretzel bread burger.

I opted for the burger. It came delightfully warm with just enough heat between the bun and burger to delicately melt the cheese once I put it on the patty. Lettuce tomato pickles ketchup mustard.

I paired it with a beer called lucky u IPA from Breckenridge brewery “fine Colorado ales” the color was to my liking. Amber with almost a hint of red. The flavor was hoppy and a bit nutty. It had a soft bite and a smooth finish. A bit frothy do be careful on the pour.

The salad consisted of fresh baby spinach a single cherry tomato posited with a single Mediterranean olive and fetta cheese. The dressing was a honey Dijon dressing which i found to be an odd pairing. I would have preferred a Greek dressing or a simple basalmic vinegar. Chewing that marvelous olive was diminished by the overly sweet salad dressing. Lucky for me the lucky u IPA did an excellent job of washing the taste of that dressing away!

For dessert we had a raspberry cheesecake 🍰. Delicious to the last and will paired with a glass of the red wine.

Well done united.

Here are some of the made to order breakfasts at the Hyatt regency Delhi.

Uttapam. Rice flour pancake, onion, tomato, green chili, chutney, samba

French cinnamon toast

Apple compote, maple syrup, whipped cream

Light and flakey. Chewy with added crunch of the crusted sugar. Can cut with the side of my fork.

Puri paji: Deep fried Indian bread

Back at the Hyatt regency in new Delhi. Puri paji. Deep fried Indian bread and potato curry.

soft but crispy exvelleny for dipping.

when I am traveling abroad sometimes I get “the tummy troubles”. It could be the new environment or the radical change in diet but one thing calms my stomach down and is readily available at most Indian hotels.

One part pineapple juice (preferably canned) and one part sprite. My breakfast cocktail. The hotel staff love to bring you fresh unmanned not-from-concentrate fresh pineapple juice but that will bubble up in an outrageous way when you introduce it to sprite. Impressive and fancy but no good for mixing!

Hyatt regency Delhi

First plate included a mix of veg and non-veg options.

Lamb curry . So tender meat pulled easily of the bone. At with hands. Sauce mixed with white rice to leave a tasty compliment after the lamb chunks. Good to mix with my naan.
Non-veg

Lamb seekh Kanab. Very soft and tender almost like a sausage. Slight spiced after taste. Quite yummy!

Afghani chicken tikka. Tender most mild spices almost a minty lime flavor. Very succulent.

Fish Amritsari. Tender and delicate breaded  almost like a fish stick. Nutty flavor infused with gentle cayan pepper twist.
Veg

Tandori Alpo. Onion garlic. Breaded exterior almost like a donut hole. Small potato with pleasant onion garlic flavoring.

Malai broccoli medium done with a mix of fresh and waiters flavor. Almost a parmaseen flavoring.

Hariyali pander tikka. Green sauce. Solid texture like cheese curd. Hint of lime. Gives it a filling yet refreshing finish.

Soup

Mutton shoribar, mint leaves green coriander. Hearty meaty flavor. Salty with a hint of spice but no more. Clean and light water based soup. cutting zip of coriander. Small flecks of mutton to add texture and an occasional chew. Very soft and tender. Excellent flavor and heat. I drank from the bowl it was so good.

Egg plant bangan, onion and tomato gravy and yogurt. Extremely flavorful gravy. Non spicy but adynamic abd complex. Egg plant was a bit under cooked. Combination was pleasant. Eggplant giving a stable hearty base to the dynamic and robust gravy.

Murgh korma. Creamy chicken. Tender chicken in a light gravy. Pepper onion and a light gravy adds a pleasant flavor to the tender and moist chicken.

Fish curry. Coconut milky gravy. Reminds me of a Thai yellow curry. Fish is de boned and fabulously tender. Probably my favorite thing on the menu.
Kadhi pakora. Gram flour yogurt. Smooth and buttery sauce. Black pepper large chunks add flavor. Almost like a dumpling but with a gritty texture and yogurt flavor.

Pander butter. Not Spicy. Tomato based flavor. Mixed with the yogurt reminds me of a tomato bisque soup except solid. Quite delicious.

Chicken curry. Extremely tender. Good flavoring. Mix with rice or choice of breads.

Malayi soya chaap.soya cream pepper. Minced Garlic gave the sauce good texture and flavor. Rather bland.

Ordered fresh garlic naan. Personal favorite. Added Dahl to go with.
