Bassett’s Allsorts Licorice & Passion Fruit Gum Pops

Bassett’s Allsorts Licorice

If you have an Italian grandmother that’s over 60, chances are very high that she loves these candies. (And Galliano, Pastis, Pernod, Absinthe, Sambuca, Anisetteā€¦ and probably most things licorice, anise and fennel flavored) Now, we love them, too. That’s mostly due […]

Cafe 101 Johns Creek

Kung Pao Shrimp & Scallops

Chicken With Cashews

The sauces were a bit too thick, heavy and overly salty.

Dark Chocolate Soft Serve Ice Cream — Godiva

Godiva’s Dark Chocolate Soft Serve Ice Cream

About 2 big tastes (notice the missing top swirl?) into this deep dark chocolate soft serve, we decided this was good enough to remember. We were never fans of any of the Godiva drinks. They were just way too sweet. This […]

Raku Ramen

Takoyaki

Crispy edged balls of octopus and vegetables are battered and fried in a round skillet. Then, those balls are topped with two sauces and bonito flakes. Paired with pickled cabbage on the side, this is one very satisfying way to start the meal.

Umaido

Shisito Peppers

They’re a perfect nibble.

Spicy Miso
