We’ve been LOYAL to one bánh mì spot, but today we’re switching things up 😏🥖 Banh Mi House might be our new go-to for crispy pork belly banh mi! We got ours on garlic bread and that was DEFINITELY the move. The veggie to meat ratio was great, and we appreciated that the cilantro was cut into…

This bowl is the reason we keep coming back to Tokyo Table 🍣🙂‍↕️ We discovered this little hack a while back and have always been doing the same thing ever since! It’s a lot cheaper than ordering a bunch of handrolls and we have so much fun creating our own diy rolls! Here’s what we get: 🍣 Toro…

$1 TACOS IN THIS ECONOMY?! 🌮 Maggy’s Tacos is always one of our go to for street tacos cause the meat is consistently solid and they have really good salsa. The Al Pastor and Cabeza were our favorite this time, cause the buche could’ve used a bit more salt! And it’s $1 so I feel like it’s a bit…

Trying the BUTTER CHICKEN + PIZZA combo 🤤🍕 For Pizza we went to Pizza Supreme Being and got: 🍕Heatwave - $6/slice (our favorite thing about their pizza is always the sourdough crust but this time it’s not as crispy as usual! The topping is still fire tho!) 🍕 Lap Cheong Square - $9 (it’s somewhat…

If your fish and chips don’t sound like this, I don’t want them 🤪😎 Big Fish & Chips is out here doing Fish & Chips a little different 👀 Most of the reviews talk about the HUGE portions and how fresh the fish is, and we definitely agree! Everything is fried to order, and somehow it stays crispy for…

How well do we actually know each other? 👀 🤣 #ad We went to @Applebee’s Grill + Bar during Happy Hour and wrote down each other’s entire order - drinks, apps, entrées and dessert. Then secretly handed our picks to our server. She was SO sweet and immediately got excited to help us pull off the…

Why pick from one when you can order from 10 🤭 Garden At The Line is one of our favorite spots because everyone can order exactly what they’re craving, but you still get to eat together in one place. It’s especially perfect for a team lunch — tons of options, a full bar, and a beautiful outdoor…
