12.50 for beef/noodle 5.00 for Wonton (tax and tip not included) Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle 19369 Stevens Creek Blvd #100, Cupertino, CA 95014 chefhungnoodle.com (408) 899-2511 11AM–3PM, 5–10PM Around lunchtime a few of us decided to check out the new beef noodle place #ChefHung here in Cupertino, CA.  I ended up deciding on two items Braised Beef Shank w/Noodle and a Wonton w/Spicy Sauce.  Each was labeled with a chili pepper icon so I assumed it would be "spicy".  Sadly neither dish was spicy in the least, and a quick poll of the table of the other spicy dishes ordered also confirmed that there was zero spice.   With that said they did have flavorings to "enhance" the spicy on the table and in the end I completely forgot to add additional spice to actually make it spicy, but if its labeled on the menu as spicy I expect it to BE spicy!   The dishes were very good however, but if you were't versed in how a fresh han...

  I pre-ordered Joule awhile back and it finally arrived!   What is Joule you might ask? Well its the new Sous Vide machine from ChefSteps!  Its essentially a water heater and circulation device.  Joule allows you to cook food immersed in water (in a zip lock bag or vacuum bag) to a tenderness and keep that food at that state for long periods of time without fear of over or under cooking the food.   (cooked pork chop per their recipe so juicy!) Another cool aspect is that you can pair the device with your phone (app is android and ios), your wi-fi router, as well as an Amazon Echo or Dot (for some voice control) to cook/monitor/start/stop/change temps/set timers from anywhere you have an internet connection.  ChefSteps app(android and apple) takes the calculations out of Sous Vide so its a simple process of selecting the doneness, visually, within the app and then just hit GO! Check out the two little videos snippets to see Joule in ope...

$20.82 with tax and tip added Staff is super friendly, cozy place good atmosphere, comfortable seating, staff gave me a free Thai Iced Tea when my order got mixed up, (was just slightly slower than I was expecting, which is no big deal, and wasn't "thai hot", which I didn't mention, so they gave me the Thai Iced Tea for the perceived slowness, so great staff! The Duck Panang Curry was delish, despite lack of any real heat, and plentiful pieces of duck and other fresh veggies throughout dish.  Lunch special came with soup and salad as well!  Its a bit out of the way for me but worth the drive for some decent Thai food!

$54.90 (3 orders + tax + Beverage) I was up in south-ish San Francisco for the company I work for quarterly meeting and sales kick off event.  After the presentation a few of us broke off from the lunch provided to indulge in some tasty sea food.  So we went to the New England Lobster Market & Eatery as it was 5 min walk from the hotel.  I ended up ordering three menu items, I thought if I was going to try this place out I'd get the three main staples.  I got the Twin Tails, which are just two lobster tails, butter, coleslaw and a half roll (which its the same roll that you get when you order a lobster roll).  The second item was the lobster roll, dressed, which also comes with coleslaw and chips(made in house).  The third item was the lobster corn chowder.   All the items had plenty of lobster, which were delicious, and the place is set up with picnic tables both inside and out for seating and has a...
