Kobe Steak in Kobe from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. The day had finally come, I was in Kobe Japan and was on a mission to eat a Kobe steak. This mission was fulfilled and the amazing meat that hit my pallet was worth every penny. Yes, I spent a lot of penny’s. The Kobe beef myth of cows getting...
Sushi in Otaru, Japan from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. Day 2 in Japan brought me to Otaru. We walked around town all day checking out the local markets and shops. We walked a little out of town and made it to a sake brewery. We tried 4 different types of Sake, all cold. We tried to ask for some hot...
Teachers beget learning. I hooked up with two more University at Texas Professors my second night in Austin and was schooled. Maria Rivera and Matt McCutchin both teach portfolio classes at the University. Earlier in the day, Matt invited to talk to one of his first year portfolio classes. Teaching...
Bizzare Ice Cream in Oraru, Japan from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. After a great day in Otaru Japan with friends we stopped in at Kita-no Ice Cream. This was not ordinary Ice Cream shop. First we had to go down an ally, then around the back to a small little shop that looked like a broken down...
Rocket Bar and Market, Hakodate, Japan from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. After 8 days at sea, and crossing the international date line (Sept 30th never happened!) I land in Hakodate, Japan. I set out exploring the town and found a few markets with loads of Squid. There was so many packaged squid I...
This was the largest gnocchi I have ever seen. It was tender and dripped with a marscapone cheese sauce. What could go wrong? It was lunch time and I sat at a long table just off of Covent Garden with 8 colleagues who were helping me figure out the details of my October Project. Our surprisingly...
It always amazes me how I see Frosted Flakes, my favorite cereal, in almost ever country I travel to. The box is usually different or Tony is slightly skewed but the taste always remains the same. Thanks to Tony the Tiger for keeping it real and giving me a little bit of home as I globetrek. ...
Mixing some beef ribs with a gentleman like Brad Love makes for a great and messy lunch. I was barely in Austin for an hour and I was already breaking bread with Professor Brad Love from the Advertising Department of UT. We met at one of my favorite spots in Austin, Ironworks BBQ. I met Brad last...
I goofed up on this one. First, I forgot a camera during the meal. Second, Jenny and I never eat out of the office. Jen and I have been work married since 2006. That means she knows things about me that only wives and long term girlfriends know. I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing...
Last Saturday the REEL TASTY deck turned black and white and became extra spicy. It had been on Aimee’s brain for a while to get a Creole/Cajun meal on the table. She had spent some time this year down in NOLA and was itching to recreate some of her favorite dishes for friends. As it turns...
A slice, a pepperoni roll and a coke is all we needed. Rojeh and I popped into the pizza joint on Norman Ave. before heading up to a birthday party. We have shared a numerous amount of meals over the 24 years we’ve know each other. This particular dinner was occupied by quality-of-slice...
A giant round of take out sushi at the Rocamboli’s transitioned my “week” into my “weekend”. Avid readers of this blog know this division is more theoretical than tangible. None the less, I would celebrate this unrecognizable event with a trip out to Dave and...
Skagway Alaska is a small town that looks like a scene from the old west. If you took out the few roads that make up the town and put in dirt with some tumble weed I think I would have to bring my 6 shooter to go get some lunch. After walking through the town in about 5 minutes I ended up at the Red...
A cheeseburger at Old Town Bar with Brendan Colthurst was an excellent way for me to spend a Tuesday lunch. Brendan and I worked on a project together last year involving an elevator, a Gogel Bordello song and a bunch of days in a tiny edit suite. Brendon is part of the awesome trifactor that runs...
A few posts ago I mentioned it was hard to find tasty in London but breakfast is the exception to that rule. A good Full English is a great way to start the day. It’s virtually everywhere, packs a punch and always leaves you happy. This particular FE was consumed in the restaurant of my hotel....
Crab Cracker Seafood Bar – Ketchikan from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. My last day in Alaska was a wet and cold day in Ketchikan. I decided to take a food tour and then do a walking tour around the town. I started back at Burger Queen and ordered another burger. This time got it cooked medium...
