James the Food Slayer: EDO Hibachi part II

Last night, Mr. Clougherty and I did our monthly dinner series. This time it was off to EDO Hibachi Steak House and Bar. For me, this was my second time there. For him, his first time.

How was dinner at EDO Hibachi Steak House and Bar?

I was impressed with how well the chef prepared our lunch as well as the entertainment that I wanted us to have dinner here again. Unlike lunch with my Mom and Annabelle last month, we had a packed house Thursday night. However, we were able to get a seat at the hibachi table, which is why I brought Kevin in the first place. We ordered our hibachi and told Kevin to prepare to be amazed. I got the chicken and he got the vegetables.

Kevin was impressed with the work of our chef, just as I was that first time last month. The chef even sprayed soki in my mouth, some of which got on my white shirt and inside. However, it dried off and didn’t stain. The onion fire volcano was a sight to see. Our food was good and unlike lunch here in July, I finished the plate. Grade: A+

Next stop in the Dinner Series: North Park Lounge in Murrysville on September 28.

On to the next question, when am I drinking my first pumpkin spice latte?

Dunkin’ and Starbucks recently came out with their pumpkin spice drinks. I just bought Fall stuff from Giant Eagle (Pumpkin Spice creamer included) and plenty more is coming in the next few weeks. My rule of thumb is that I wait until September 1 to have my first drink. Oh wait, that’s next Friday and that will be the day when I do it. Dunkin’ and Starbucks will be my first stop. I plan to hit up both as well as some of the local independent coffeehouses. I’ll have a review up in late September as well as one in October and end my “Pumpkin Spice tour” close to Halloween.

By November 1, you can expect me to drink a peppermint mocha and play Christmas music.
