If you follow me on Instagram you know one thing about me, I love Ramen! I usually make a few trips to Ramen Bar a month. Well when I was in Chicago I wanted to check out at least one of the Ramen shop there. After doing some research it seemed that many people were raving about Strings Ramen.
The Primehouse Experience
While in Chicago I definitely wanted to check out a steakhouse, and believe me there is no shortage of great steakhouses in Chicago. After doing some research Primehouse ended up being my choice. It was named “#1 Steakhouse in Chicago” by Chicago magazine in 2013 and is known for its dry-aged steaks.
Seeing How A Graphics Card Is Made In Dongguan, China
So I had told you guys that I was in Hong Kong for the first time. Going to Hong Kong was actually part of a trip put on by Zotac. We work with Zotac at ThinkComputers and they make a variety of computer products, but are mainly known for graphics cards. They were celebrating their 10th Anniversary and while most of the events were in Hong Kong, they set up a factory tour for us to see how their products are actually made.
My First Time Visiting Napa
More recapping of my summer! Back at the end of June I went on a really cool business trip out to Napa, California. Now for me Napa is not exactly a place a would normally go, I am not really into wine at all, but a company we work with over at ThinkComputers was having an event so I decided to go out. Since this was a tech event I got to hang out with my friend Michael, who was there representing MegaTechNews. Napa is of course known for wine, it is about an hour north of San Francisco.
How Doing Meal Prep Has Helped Me Out
If you happen to follow me on Instagram you will see every once a while I post about doing meal prep. What is meal prep exactly? It is pre-making my meals ahead of time so I can heat them up later. Meal prep is very popular among people who are on a diet. Meal prep…
A Trip Back To Beijing Noodle No. 9
When I’m in Vegas I typically try restaurants that I haven’t been to before, but I always seem to make a trip back to Beijing Noodle No. 9 at Caesars. If you didn’t know I am a huge fan of Asian food and on top of that they actually hand-pull their noodles there. That is something you don’t typically see, unless you are in New York or L.A. So Beijing Noodle No. 9 is usually on the list of restaurants I want to eat at each year.
Dinner at Aureole Restaurant
One thing I always like about going to Vegas is trying new restaurants. Sunday night after I got in a hardware vendor invited many members of the press to a dinner to catch up and discuss their plans for the upcoming year. I really like these type of events at CES as they are more…
A Weekend In DC
A couple of weeks ago my friends and I decided to take a road trip down to Washington, DC. We all planned on going to see DVBBS at Echostage, but it was also a chance to see two of our friends who recently moved down there. DC is about a 4-4.5 hour drive from Pittsburgh….
Lounge 5280 at the Denver Airport
On my recent trip out to Silicon Valley I connected both ways at the Denver International Airport and had lengthy layovers both ways. The first time through I noticed a cool looking bar called Lounge 5280. Since it was early in the morning and I did not feel like I drink I did not stop…
Buying a Product Because of Instagram
I’m sure by now you’ve heard of Instagram and most likely have an account. If not Instagram is a simple way to take a share photos, and add some cool filters to along the way. It is a social network as well so you can follow users and see what photos they are sharing. I…
A Weekend Visiting Finger Lakes Wine Country
I have never been a huge fan of wine, it just really is not my thing. My girlfriend asked me if I wanted to go with her family to the Finger Lakes to visit wineries. While I’m not really a wine person I opted to go along as it is always good to get away….
Dinner at Center Cut Steakhouse
It has been a bit since I updated my blog and I totally forgot to post about my dinner at Center Cut Steakhouse at the Flamingo in Las Vegas. I told my buddy Andy that I would take him out to dinner this year at CES. He wanted to go to a steakhouse and he…
Dinner at Social House
If you follow me on Instagram you know one of my favorite things to go eat is sushi. When I was in Las Vegas I had a chance to have dinner at Social House and it was pretty amazing. I actually went to Social House when it was in Treasure Island many years ago. Now it is located inside Crystals at CityCenter. Social House is not strictly a Japanese restaurant it is more Pan-Asian.
STK Steakhouse in New York City
When I was in New York City earlier this month I had to chance to have dinner at STK and I have to say it was quite good. We went to the location in the Meat Packing district, which actually happens to be the brands flagship location. There are other locations in New York City, Atlanta, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles and Miami.
Gordon Ramsay Steak Las Vegas
If you noticed earlier in the year I did not talk about my annual trip to Las Vegas. I was so busy I really did not get around to talking about it. Of course like I said I am trying to blog more so I definitely wanted to share my experience at one of the…
