Last week I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Springfield-Style Cashew Chicken from his The Wok cookbook.
This fried chicken dish is different from the General Tso’s-based previous ones, and was disappointingly better without the sauce. 2 stars ★★☆☆☆
This past week I made the Sesame Chicken recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
I felt it was too heavy on the dark soy sauce. Of course it was still good, but I would adjust that next time. 4 stars ★★★★☆
Went to Mother’s Best with Megan for lunch. I had the lunch special chicken sandwich which was fried chicken tenders on “Georgia toast” (Texas toast) with fries. It was good! Kind of like an indie Zaxby’s.

It was outstanding. 4 stars ★★★★☆
We went to Rreal Tacos in Decatur for our family dinner out. It was very lively, a completely different vibe from the previous tenant, ponko chicken. I got a costra taco and a picanha taco. The costra taco is wrapped in griddled cheese and then in a tortilla. I know of the picanha cut of beef, but I don’t think I’ve ever had it, so that was of interest to me. They were both good, but the picanha was chewier than I prefer.
