this awesome little piece of equipment is called the antigriddle. according to cuisinetechnology.com, it:


  • Quickly freezes sauces and purees into solid, unique forms — or freezes just the outer surfaces while maintaining a creamy center
  • Minus 30°F 'griddle' temperature ensures almost instantaneous results
  • Approximately 1 square foot high-endurance cooktop provides an ample, easy-to-clean work surface
ummmm... can you say i want???

if you want this awesome device check it out here

enjoy,

restaurant review: el sombrero

yep finally my restaurant review is up. still in school guys. so been busy as always. here's my latest review:

recently i was able to dine at a mexican restaurant owned by my friend here in college. located in southern california in el monte, el sombrero offers classic mexican food that is, according to my friend, frequented constantly by the community.

food: 4. delicious and extremely filling. but maybe that's because of the mounds of sour cream and guacamole they put on my crab enchiladas, which pretty much masked a lot of the flavor of the enchiladas itself. portions are large and i was full for the rest of the day.

ambiance: 4. very nice. my friends and i went during some festivities that were taking place in the banquet hall, including a live mariachi band. seems like a very family orientated place including arcade games for the kids and bar area for the adults.

service: 4. good. relatively quick and the service was nice, especially since they were my friend's relatives.

price: $-$$

final score: 4. good atmosphere and good food. just make sure to go easy on the sour cream and guac.

enjoy,

mike
