Han Shin - Overland Park, KS

Lunch 1/2/13

2 Roll Lunch Special w/ Miso Soup and Ginger Salad - Ebi Roll and California Roll - It's hard to beat a $10 lunch with a great soup, salad, and sushi...and this special at Han Shin is no exception.  The soup and salad are good, but the main feature is the fresh, passionately prepared sushi rolls. 


Spicy Crab Salad - Coming from Florida, this is not something that is commonly known about or ordered. I was in to eat one day and the owner said, "let me make you something special." I was impressed that he could recognize the type of sushi that I enjoyed and made this delicious and crunchy crab salad.  I have been ordering this dish ever since that day!

Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue - Overland Park, KS

lunch 7/21

Onion Rings
Cheesy Corn Bake
Cole slaw
BBQ beansJacks Best BBQ - Crown Prime Rib, beef ribs, and beef burnt ends.

Onion Rings 3 stack - the onions rings were colossal in size and had a great flavor...not too salty.

Corn bake - a very cheesy, corn and potato chowder.

BBQ - all three pieces of beef were spectacular.  The burnt ends were moist and juicy.  My favorite was the Prime Rib.  I've eaten some good prime rib in my days, but I've never had a BBQ smoked prime rib before.  I could come back and have just the P.R.  
BBQ beans - After hearing that I was going to blog about my eats, my waiter, James, brought me some of the BBQ beans.  He said that I must try them.  Apparently they add 10lbs of meat per 5 gallon batch of the beans.  Then they cook them in the smoker underneath the brisket.  The drippings from the brisket add more flavor to the beans.  Though reluctant to try them for fear of being disappointed, I'm glad I did.  They had a nice balance between sweet, smoky, and tangy.  Great side to an awesome BBQ!

Hayward's Pit BBQ - Overland Park, KS

7/18/12 - Lunch


Burnt Ends and Sausage Sampler
Mac n Cheese
Fried Okra


This was a recommendation from a co-worker who raved about the BBQ.


The burnt ends were charred and hard to eat.  I've had beef jerky that was more tender.  Thhough the sausage had good flavor, the sauce almost tasted like a marinara sauce.  For a place known for BBQ, you don't expect to have Italian sausage.


The Mac n Cheese was boxed, Kraft, Mac n Cheese.  Though I really like Kraft's M&C, I don't want to pay $4 for an Easy Mac portion at a restaurant.


The Fried okra was good...though it's hard to mess up fried okra.


I won't be going back here.
