I'm a foodie too, my upcoming two-week vacation is planned around my cooking projects. I'm lucky to live in a great place food-wise, there are so many great holes in the walls around here that it looks like swiss cheese!<br /><br />I often go somewhere I've never been before and end up finding great ethnic grocery stores with all sorts of food I've never seen before, and end up buying some too! Just yesterday I stopped at an Asian/Philipino place and they had some freshly made fried things drizzled with dark sweet syrup by the cash, it was plantains wrapped in a crispy roll thingy, so good!Chocolatesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493321160124151967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-6497516245929204672011-06-14T12:34:40.366-05:002011-06-14T12:34:40.366-05:00Thanks, LittleRed, we'll throw an eyeball towa...Thanks, LittleRed, we'll throw an eyeball towards it next time we're down.

I've not been there for about two years, so YMMV. There was/is a real Japanese place in the western-most strip of shop on Central across from the University. If it is still there, I liked that one, too.
