Good Eats

On Saturday evening Dave and Erin Corya and Jenny and I ventured down to the Village of Spires—other wise known as Oldenburg to eat at Wagner’s. For those not familiar, Wagner’s is a restaurant/tavern in Oldenburg that is famous—or known for-- their fried-chicken. I don’t know exactly how long it’s been there but it’s been there ever since I can remember. We all had the fried chicken—it’s pan fried chicken—and it was pretty darn good. I recommend it. But really…the coolest thing about Wagner’s was that they had Chicago’s own-- 312 on tap. I couldn’t quite figure out why they had it on tap but I was definitely not complaining about it. Good stuff.

Last night to celebrate our anniversary Jenny and I traveled over to Columbus to eat sushi at New Japan. Unfortunately (or maybe it wasn’t) New Japan is closed on Monday’s. We were pretty disillusioned about that fact until we remembered Jenny’s sister, Melissa, telling us about another Japanese restaurant over by Arnie’s. We decided to check it out. The place is called Satuma. Warning—Buarl alert—it was the best damn sushi that we’ve ever had. Nothing against the other places—because they’ve all been good as well—but Satuma had the best sushi rolls that we’ve ever tasted. I’ll concede that the nigiri (and we only had a few pieces) was on par with what we’ve had before at other places. But it blew our mind just how good the rolls were. Simply outstanding.
