Uchi - Denver

Walu Walu

Escolar with candied citrus and ponzu sauce was DELICIOUS! The citrus and ponzu sauce complimented the meaty whitefish so well. 

Negihama temaki

hama chili with yellowtail, ponzu and citrus

Albacore tuna nigiri

Crispy rice, short rib and broccoli

I loved the textures of this dish with the chunky sauce, crispy rice and tender short rib.

Youkai berry with salmon, asian pear and yuzu

Hot Rock with Wagyu Beef

The beef was amazingly tender - it just melted in your mouth and the sauce added the perfect amount of flavour.

Rudy's "Country Store" Texas BBQ - Colorado Springs

Garden of the Gods

A whole selection of BBQ meats: turkey, sausage and lean & moist beef brisket

With potato salad and drinks

The turkey and sausage were really good. The brisket was really tender, but I think Adamson's in Toronto has tastier brisket. Overall, great BBQ meal at Rudy's!

Santiago's Mexican Restaurant - Denver

We picked up breakfast at Santiago's Mexican Restaurant on our way to the Garden of the Gods. 

At 10:30am, they had breakfast burritos and regular burritos. 

Pretty big burritos for $2.50 (breakfast) and $2.75 (beef)

Breakfast burrito

It was really good and it's such a good deal! The cheese, egg, chorizo combination wrapped in a tortilla is an awesome way to start the morning!

Air Canada First/Business Class to USA

I got upgraded to First Class/Business Class on my flight to Denver.

Proper Earl Grey Tea and nuts with spacious leg room 

 

Kale and Radicchio salad, carrot cake and chicken with truffle sauce

I had a big meal at the Airport Lounge and I usually don't eat at all on flights because I get nauseous smelling the airplane food, but this was too good to pass up! Chicken with truffle sauce and mixed grains - it was really yummy. The salad dressing came in its own fancy container and the cream cheese icing on the carrot cake was actually properly defrosted. It really is different traveling first or business class.
