The Veggie Grill

I will be the first person to say this but I really and truly am a MEATatarian. I know in this day and age its all about being health conscious or politically correct but let me tell you that meat is something that I refuse to live with out. Let me explain why.

First off, it carries a flavor that is so enticing that you can dream about it while waking up on one Sunday afternoon. (yes I dream about meat)

But really, its the things you can do with it. You can bake it, fry it, broil it, saute it, coat it in bbq sauce, and just about whatever your sweet little heart desires. Up until just recently I would refuse to set foot into any eatery that did not serve meat. That is until I found...Veggie Grill

Veggie Grill you ask? Is she completely loony? On what planet would a vegetable taste remotely satisfying on a grill. Well Veggie Grill has done it. All I can say is that they have managed to completely imitate the taste of meat SO well that even I had to stop and think..is this really NOT meat?

Check out some of their fantastical dishes.
















DONT FORGET THEIR sweet potato fries...







Well, to cut to the chase..you just have to try it! There really is no other way to say it but TRY IT. DONT knock it, Till you Try it. This time even a meat eater can give a veggie eater TWO thumbs up! WOOT WOOT!

Boiling Crab V Claws

Ok so the age old question is...which is better? Boiling Crab OR Claws

Well, its a toss up really. Top 3 Reason's to go to Boiling Crab.

1.) The Seasoning.."The Whole Shebang" I mean just the naming convention is intriguing!

2.) The Seafood..Fresh crab, shrimp, and crawfish..

3.) The Mystery...the fact that NOONE knows the mystery behind the amazing flavor..

















Top 3 Reason's to go to Claws..

1.) NO wait - boiling crab you must arrive before 6PM or be prepared for an evening of 2 hour waits.

2.) The Seasoning - ALMOST identical to boiling crab..maybe someone that used to work at Boiling Crab stole the recipe and opened up a Claws?

3.) The Hospitality - they are extremely attentive. They will check on you at least 20 times to make sure you are fully enjoying the experience..I didn't see the same degree of personal attention at BC.






Well there you have it folks. Yes one can say seafood is just seafood. But i say.. this is a delicate meat that must be prepared exactly perfectly otherwise why you wasting my time! ESPECIALLY the seasoned shrimp heads for all you shrimp lovers out there!

Check them both out and let me know what you think!
