R & R Taqueria
5005 Honeygo Center Drive Unit 105 Perry Hall, MD 21129
Do you crave Mexican? Where can we go? Hmmm Taco Bell?  La Torteca? ok, but its Americanized Mexican food.
Here's a Mexican hidden treasure. It's R & R Taqueria.  You never would know it but this place was delicious and traditional Mexican food and more importantly family owned. The family has introduced traditional Mexican food to us all. You can tell when you order. The meats have been marinated, The pork tasted like flavorful pork, the beef tasted like beef and the chicken was so tasty. Meats had their unique flavors. Simple in taste but a perfect blend of spices. The family did a fantastic job to present their food as it should be ,original and authentic. Just delicious. What a relief for a Mexican foodies. AND to top it all off, Diners Drive In Dives with Guy Fieri, heard the people and came down to visit. You know its great and no skimping on any ingredients. It's in the taste!
Tacos at $ 2.50 cents can't be beat, Real mole (chocolate sauce) phenomenal!
If you don't visit this place, your missing out. It's worth the drive. I went at lunch time and it was packed. Lots of takeout orders and many Mexicans were eating lunch there. You know its delicious.
Believe me its worth the drive. You won't be disappointed.
My rating on a scale of 1-5 and 5 being the best, this restaurant get a double "55". They also have 2 other locations but keeping to the basics.
Family run businesses in the food industry beats out any large corporation food business. No Match.

Hawaiian Luau Team Building

If you read my previous post, life is too short so you might as well enjoy and have fun with friends, relatives and associates.
Everyone contributes a Hawaiian or Polynesian dish related to the theme of Hawaiian luau. Chef Woo Can will order  the decorations and someone can  offer the Hawaiian native music. If there are dancers, a little hula dance.
What's missing? Hint hint Oink Oink!. Chef Woo Can will provide the Roast Suckling Pig with an apple in his mouth. Chef Woo will carve the suckling pig with the crispy seasoned crunchy skin and the succulent moist roast pork. Bring the buns and you'll have the Hawaiian version of pulled pork.
A memorable experience for all and a fun time.
Let me know your thoughts or interest?

Panera Bread
White Marsh, MD

Aaah, Panera Bread. When I hear their name I think about all those commercials that they spend millions of dollars touting freshness. Well, to be really honest, let's point out the facts here. Panera Bread is not a local food establishment, Panera Bread is a multinational corporation that wants to make lots of profit. To achieve this, they must buy in bulk to get the lowest price and use as little labor as possible to keep expenses down.
Now keep in mind that all the food products they order may not turnover as fast as they would like but at the same token they are not going to throw the food products out.
We were having a meeting and the boss decided to order lunch from Panera. Menu was ok so I ordered the 10 vegetable soup and a spinach salad. It was delivered on time nice wrapped in plastic containers. The soup was ok, they probably opened a ready made can of vegetable soup and the spinach salad was ok but the dressing was very delicious. If you read my other blogs, you would know that companies are making their sauces really taste good.
Finished everything but shortly after, my stomach was saying, help me! I wasn't feeling very good. Needless to say it was probably spinach gone bad.
Am I surprised? Absolutely not. Can we do anything about it? yes, not go there.
But the real reason should be to emphasize quality of food then finding all different was to present the food. When I say quality, downsize the menu to focus on those entrees that are selling good. All other entrees discontinue, because your customers will pay for it in the end and leave a bad impression. The public is aware of what's going on.
Be smart. The food is institutionalized food!
Rating on scale of 1-5 I give them a "1"

Red Brick Station Restaurant
8149 Honeygo Blvd, Nottingham
(The Avenue at White Marsh)

The weather has just been beautiful and the thought of not going outside for fresh air is unacceptable. You need to get up and take a walk outside. It's good for the mine and body.
Well, a bunch of us went to the Red Brick Station Restaurant and this would be my 3rd time going. Service is great, atmosphere very relaxing and the waitress is very professional and courteous.
This day I ordered the English version of Bangars and Mash. Yes, it was hearty but the wether outside was a tad bit chilly. Having the Bangars and Marsh would warm my soul.  Yep, a Nice portion of Marsh Potatoes, nice brown gravy with 3 large bangars and 2 slices of tomatoes that were grilled to give it that complete look. and also tasty. There's a full bar, and I have to say all around, its the place to go to relax with a glass of beer or just relax eating a great meal.

Edorrito Asian Bistro
5203 Campbell Blvd, Nottingham, MD

It's Springtime, the weather is beautiful, the birds are out and the flowers are blooming. What a way to spend outdoors at lunch or go exploring new cuisines where your employed.
I wanted something different and fresh and refreshing.
Edorrito Asian Bistro was the target. I was there before and had the noodles and swore I would never have the noodles again BUT that didn't stop me from trying sushi. You would think I had a little wariness going to Poke Bowl in Bel Air. You can scroll through my reviews on them. BUT,  I realize I can try a different place to see what I get. Well, this place is very clean, small but simple. They adopted the on line ordering. I decided to try the sashimi bowl. The choices on the screen made it easy to order. I ordered salmon sashimi and spicy salmon with yellow tail tuna. with a special sauce and some veggies. I got what I paid for. It wasn't cheap and I didn't expect it to be and I was pleasantly surprised that the sashimi came in nice chunks, very firm and delicious, you can taste the flavor of the salmon, the tuna was very fresh and cool, The sauce was a nice complement. I mean chunks or cubes of sashimi, it was plentiful and oh so delicious. The portion size was just enough for a refreshing lunch. I definitely will go back to try the burrito. In comparison, the Poke Bowl in Bel Air, MD they either pounded or ground up the salmon and gave you a fraction quantity like 2 tablespoons plooped on a salad. Terrible terrible.
I highly recommend this place. Looking for light fare come visit Edorrito Asian Bistro.
