Taco Bandito
Okay, I come here all the time. I support local restaurants rather than your chains (and you should too). There are a few Chipotle or Qdobas in the neighborhood, but then as like everyone else, they’re mission styled and it never sits right in your stomach… and I forgot to mention, pretty freaking expensive.
This is here why I’m giving a little promotion to Taco Bandito, it’s quaint, clean and you pay for just the right amount of food.

This place wasn’t even worth taking pictures.

Back on the Game
Well after months of hiatus, I’ll be back writing more or less about my foodie life. However, IT IS the new year, 2010… two more years before the world ends.
I’m trying to eat less, but we’ll see how that goes.

Oh no…
Oh Boston Market, you’d think they’d learn from Popeye’s mistake about that $5 meal deal… Well, I guess not, after reading Consumerist, the whole thing became pretty much a disaster.
I think some chain owners should really reconsider their stock orders, especially then something this good comes up.
Deals: Boston Market $1 Meals
Starting from October 26 – November 1, 2009 you have a meal of:
Quarter White or 3-Piece Dark Chicken served with Mashed Potatoes and Cornbread!
FOR A DOLLAR.
But you need the coupon.
Enjoy it while it lasts!!!
OMFG Burritovile is Back… Oh wait :|
When I went BMCC to take a summer course there, I always looked for cheap places to eat. Besides the McDonalds and delis there. I had Burritovile around that area to keep me insanely happy (and slightly overweight). Staff was nice (at least to me), and had free nachos and water. What more could you want in a small restaurant? I don’t think I ever had a burrito that had so many flavors in their menu. Special burritos were the best.
Mango burrito or even a Jerk burrito. What restaurant ever carried such burritos? I don’t know one, do you?! It was a bit expensive, but that burrito was HUGE and was worth the money.
After my course was over, I went back to that area to eat at Burritoville since the staff knew me. But to my surprise it was closed. My foodie dreams shattered.
I learned 2 days ago around my new university that Burrioville was opened. I couldn’t believe my eyes and ran to the restaurant almost being ran over by a bus and a car. I was just that thrilled.
At least in this location it was amazingly clean, however, after the checking the menu, I was less thrilled. The menu was so plain and they jacked up the price too. And c’mon, you’re going to effin use COMIC SANS MS font as the menu? Seriously WTF. What the hell happened to this place?
Apparently one of the former owners of Blimpie cleaned it up and you know what, it sucks. I want my old Burritoville back!! D:<
WTF man, I want my old tasty Burritoville back.
My expression on the whole thing:

Vacation Edition: Seattle 2009 Part 3
Well, this is the last post of my vacation to Seattle. I hope you guys enjoyed my foodie adventures.
Last Day:
As usual before I go on my flight, I bring a dozen of cupcakes home from Cupcake Royale. Since my sister and I are in love with their lavender cupcakes. However, I discovered another bakery called Bakery Nouveau.
I was in love when I first walked into the bakery. The desserts… oh my god. Not only that, they had their own bakery made pizza.
Vacation Edition: Seattle 2009 Part 2
The special vacation edition continues!
Day 3:
Since my boyfriend lacks the awesomeness that is New York City pizza, he suggested for me to try out Pagliacci Pizza, which is supposedly Seattle’s favorite pizza.
As a New Yorker, it’s hard for me to have pizza that’s outside of New York since the dough isn’t the same. I had Chicago pizza before and I do admit, it was pretty good. However, having Chicago style pizza is completely different experience altogether. Anyways… we ordered Chicken Primo, which had Chicken marinated in a balsamic vinaigrette, artichoke hearts, red onion, imported peppers, mozzarella, ricotta, and parsley on an olive oil sauce.
It wasn’t bad compared to other pizzas I had outside of New York, but this one was lacking “the taste”. I can’t exactly describe what “the taste” is, but it was also the texture of the crust, usually like that hard texture and the middle would be soft, but this pizza… it was “bouncy”.
I give the pizza a rating of: 
Day 4:
I’m a huge Anthony Bourdain fan. I’d go anywhere he would say to go. Following the recommendation from No Reservations Pacific Northwest show, I went to Mario Batali’s father’s salumeria, Armandino’s Salumi, which is in downtown Seattle.
Even before Mr. Bourdain stepped foot into the salumeria, it was hugely popular place at most people would come in for a lunch break.
When we arrived, the line was literally out the door. As we waited every ten minutes or so, someone would come out and erase something off the menu. I said to myself, “Goddamn, I should have arrived here at 10:30 to get the good stuff.” I was bit anxious that all the good stuff would be gone.
The good thing was, my boyfriend and I still got something good to eat. We even sat the back to get our grub on.
