Andre Ethier has posted the first review at his “Dining with ‘Dre” blog, on “Shabu Hachi”, a Japanese restaurant in Santa Monica (website). I was happily surprised to find a full-blown review with photos that would do any blogger proud. ;) And the ultimate test for any food blog — does it make me hungry? — succeeded.
I have a hard time imagining Dodgers back in the day writing restaurant reviews for the Times.
This part was very funny:
As I sat and looked at all these great vegetables being cooked, I was thinking to myself that this alone could be a great meal. (If you didn’t just catch the sarcasm, now you have. I am a true meat eater and crave a heaping helping of it for almost every meal. I pretty much do not consider it a meal unless there is meat involved).
