Speaking of painful:
I'm gearing up to have my parents and nephew visit me next month. The painful part is coming. I was notified of a new Japanese restaurant that I wanted to try, but they wanted to have me scope out the place first. Well...
Appetizer: crispy tofu with soy sauce...yuck. $6 wasted
First Main Dish: I say first, because this was the first shot at trying sushi. I have to say sushi is a no go for me. I couldn't handle even five bites before asking for something else. $15 wasted
Second Appetizer: Beef and Chicken Skewers: Bad beef, serviceable chicken. $5.5 for the beef wasted
Final Meal: Finally, I got some great noodles with pork. I couldn't tell if it was the food I liked for the massive salt content. Either way, that was the only pleasant dish in the entire menu.
The total came to $50, which I could have found multiple alternatives for. This is what they call "learning experiences." I learned that rather than buy a small ass plate of sushi, I'm better off buying three super sized smoothies. It probably goes down as my worst restaurant experience.
