    I will never forget when I had dim sum for the 1st time. I was dating a girl from Flushing NYC and her family took me out to eat when I came into town. To this day I'm trying to get my family to try it cause it really is so good. Step out of ur comfort zone and u may find something u love.

      I’m still the only one who eats anything other then sweet and sour chicken in my family. I ate at a Vietnam restaurant the other day (first time) and tried pho that had tripe and tendon in it. I never had it before and I’m not someone who has really had the guts to try that kind of thing until I seen Mikey start doing it with crab head liquid gold and lobster and crawfish heads. My first time took me a min to get past what I was eating but the taste was good and CLEAN tasting.

    I went to a place called King Dumplings in Chinatown (74 Hester Street) NY, and I loved it since trying it for the first time. 10 dumplings just for $5, I always get the beef one. Very juicy they always make it fresh on order. I do also recommend getting the fish ball soup with it to wash it all down which cost $3. Very affordable and very delicious! If you haven't made a review video on it, I want to hear your opinion on the place. Happy Easter!

    Whatever happened to that noodle restaurant you were going to open last year? Or the other place in TX?
