Wow this is like one of the best compliments ever.

Gobbo think you need to take him up on his dinner offer as well playing 2/4 limit with them at the Pink Bird.

It wasn't one of the best compliments ever. I can think of plenty of better compliments. None of them apply to restaurant review sites, so it was definitely a well-placed compliment. Maybe best-in-class as far as compliments go. As far as compliments on restaurant reviews it is definitely in the top ten all time.

Yeah, Jimmy, your reviews are really fun to read and are helpful. I guess it is encouraging for you to see someone say that, but it seems creepy for me to keep telling you, so I'll maybe send a well-deserved compliment once every few months.

Oh, and you should talk to the fine folk at the Review Journal. I used to write for a newspaper, and you are better than most journalists at journaling and since you seem to enjoy writing, it would be cool for you to have editors helping you develop.*

*that should count as like 6 months worth of compliments.

That's a damn fine compliment as well. I have been pokering a ton recently and I don't know where I'm going to take the website in the future but I would like to see it turn into something, so we will see.

Do not work for a newspaper. This is coming from a (former) journalist who studied communication.

Keep your website and monetize it.

Seeing a byline is pretty cool though.

MOMOFUKU!!! Nice review, I'm dying to try that place. Its my favorite cookbook as well. I make his fried brussel sprouts all the time & keep a big batch of the pre made vinaigrette in the fridge so its ready when I get the urge.

Give us a review of the Impossible Burger* if you get the chance. It just debuted in Vegas. Its not available in Dallas yet and I'm curious to see how it tastes.

*this is a vegetable burger that bleeds, supposedly 100 million invested in the company

Happy B-day as well

PS..are you still working with the EPT (or whatever its called now)?

If anyone wants to check out a new place and be part of the review, also, feel free to email me at jvfricke at gmail dot com and we can sort something out.
Ok finalized my trip to be 6/3-6/11! Are you around that week? Let's meet up for food.

Always happy to hear that one. It can be rough your first time having it but I think it's incredible.

Pokerkraut was very high on Chada in a recent vlog of his.

I can't believe he hadn't heard of it before..not sure how that is possible living in Las Vegas, loving Thai food, and never hearing of Chada..

There are TWO different Chadas?

One on Jones Blvd. and one on Spring Mountain Road?

And they aren't the same owners?

Which is the better of the two?

Chada Street is thai street food and the newer of the two. I prefer the original which is just Chada Thai & Wine.

Chada Street is basically no different than an average Thai restaurant in an average big city (so, essentially every Thai restaurant in LA). Chada T&W is on another level entirely.
