The number one thing Angela and I have in common is our ability to eat our way through vacations. Searching out new restaurants and trying out new foods is the glue of our friendship. So, naturally I was thrilled to find out she was going to be in my neck of the woods (thank goodness for free airfare courtesy of The Man), because that meant I would be eating GOOD all weekend long.
The first stop on the smorgasboard train: Sushi
We went to Zaponga - a Japanese restaurant that serves the biggest wraps I've ever seen. It's situated in the super-trendy, faux-hipster "anti-mall" by the condo. The Oh My God roll was as thick as my forearm and the lobster and pumpkin-filled dumplings were delicious.
The second stop: Indian
The Royal Khyber serves fine Indian cuisine (don't take my word, they say it themselves on the awning over the front door). Very, very, very good. I had the Jambalaya Tandoori Kebab. Delicious. The naan was so-so. And we know. We ordered every version of naan they had - cheese, garlic and plain. We're built of good Midwestern stock - we crave carbs. My favorite part of the evening - the spicy calimari.
And no trip from Minnesota to California would be complete without a trip, or two, to Golden Spoon for a bowl of frozen yogurt covered in crushed candy.
