Restaurant Highlight: Shogun

One of the things I enjoy more than anything is going out to eat. I really enjoy food and I'm not big on restrictions. Although I am pretty picky and there are certain things that I just won't eat. One of the big things I refuse to eat is mayonnaise. Sean says I've missed out on so many meals because of the simple fact that I was made aware that mayonnaise was in the dish. I hate to think about the fact that I might be missing out on some mind blowing meal but I'm sticking to my feelings and that is mayo is just plain nasty. I also don't care for mustard, ham, pork chops, ranch dressing, blue cheese, hot dogs that aren't all beef, walnuts, pecans, pie, apples, anything not cooked well done, etc. So yeah, I'm missing out on tons of good stuff I'm sure.

Regardless I think I enjoy the foods that are important ;). When I was in upstate New York several weeks ago Colleen and I went to Shogun an Asian restaurant for dinner. I absolutely love this place and wish I could pick it up and bring it to PA with me. The food is always so fresh and delicious and the service is all you can ever ask for when you go out to eat. Also helps that the interior is gorgeous. I'm not good at describing interior design so just take my word for it.

For an appetizer, I ordered Baby Lobster Tempura (fantastic!) and Colleen ordered shrimp gyoza (SO good!). For my entree, I ordered California rolls and Shrimp Pad Thai. Colleen ordered sesame chicken and when I tell you that it is the best sesame chicken I've ever had, I'm not exaggerating.

I was stuffed but for some reason whenever I go out for Japanese with Colleen I have to order fried ice cream for us to share. Probably because I know that Colleen will always be so stuffed and not have enough room for dessert which leaves a lot more for me.

Our food was amazing. Our service was great. I loved my company. What more can you ask for, besides more food?

  8. I LOVE EATING OUT AS WELL :) and trying new restaurants. Girl, I am so picky as well. I have a long list as well. Mayonnaise, mustard, hot dogs, hamburgers, pretty much anything in sandwich form, anything under-cooked, ketchup :( yuck.. those are the things that I will not eat. And Lord knows I am probably missing out but oh wells! Fortunately I have plenty other options of places to try! If we stayed close we would so have a supper club/ or a brunch bunch and try all kinds of places ;)

  19. I have a similar mayonaisse issue - I don't like it either, but I can't even touch the stuff. It freaks me out and makes me gag - just the sight of it. Blech! I think I live a very happy and whole life without it too! (o;
