Mochinut is Finally Open!
Posted on November 23, 2022 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Congratulations to our friends Matt and Judy Nola on opening their first Mochinut store! It’s the first of its kind and the only Mochinut store in our area.
Their store serves mochinuts (Japanese mochi + donut), boba drinks, Korean corn dogs, and soft serve ice cream (coming soon).
I was there with Brian and Jocelyn (Jay Devilliers) for one of their soft opening events last week. Here’s a picture of Jay digging into a Korean corn dog covered in hot Cheetos. I think he liked it!
You can get regular corndogs (below) covered in hot Cheetos like Jay (above), or also covered in fried potatoes (next pic).

These mochinuts are sooo good! Jay agrees.
Their boba drinks are fantastic as well. I got the ube flavor.
It was great enjoying some good food and hanging out with these handsome fellas.
Until next time, GNG.

Birthday Meals
Posted on November 15, 2022 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Brian and I went to Carrabba’s for the first time in a really long time last month. Here are some pics.
We used to go to Carrabba’s all the time but it’s just not the same now that Joe has retired. The food is good and I love their blackberry sangria.
On the day of my actual birthday, Brian decided that we should have breakfast at HomeGrown. We went early (before 9 AM) because they are always so busy. By the time we finished there was a long wait already.
We had a nice leisurely breakfast and I even got to do some coloring.
Brian got pancakes, eggs, and bacon.
Picture of my “Friends with Benedicts” meal (above) and my fun birthday poptart (below). I don’t even like poptarts. This one was good, though.
And, I know it was early but I had a whiskey maple cream latte (which was super strong, by the way) just because I could.
So on my birthday this year, I got to feel like a child but also like an alcoholic. I mean, you should be able to do whatever you want on your birthday (as long as it’s not illegal). Until next year. GNG.

Hideaway Pizza
Posted on November 2, 2022 by Ching under Food and Drink.
After the tournament on Saturday, a bunch of us went to Hideaway Pizza in downtown Bartlesville for dinner. There were so many of us that we all could not sit together. I ended up just asking each group to take selfies at their respective tables.
Our table consisted of (clockwise from left) Erica Dennis, Katie Merrill, me, photo-bomb by Sarah Johnico’s kid, Missina Sharp, Cindy Conley, and Deana Holman who hosted me, Missina, and the Kents that weekend.
In the booth right next to us (clockwise from left) were Jen Reifschneider, Austin and Jenny Corley, Colby Fugit, Seth Mountain, Fong Witte, Krystal Fosnight, and Trung Ho. The two tables in the background are part of the Wichita/Bartlesville tournament group. And then at another booth next to this booth, which isn’t pictured, Amanda Jones, Cindy Mindard, and a bunch of other Oklahoma players were eating who had gotten there before us.
At the above table (clockwise from left): Amanda Ades, Brady Randall, Amy Poynter, and Fernando Martinez. Below we have (clockwise from left) Brandi Richardson, Sean McKinney, Ryan Kellenbarger, and Ty Richardson.
Michael Harris, Ian Carr, Scott Wolford, and Jenny Cole were at another table. Michael did not follow instructions and only took a picture of his face. Jen Tiano was equally ornery and sent me a selfie instead of table group picture.
Anyway, this post would not be complete without pictures of food. These are just pictures of what we ate at our table.
Dinner was great and it was nice that a bunch of players all decided to go to the same place so we could visit and keep the party going. I had such a great time in Bartlesville that weekend. I can’t wait to do it all again next year, specially since I made so many new friends from there.
Until next time, GNG.

Off-Strip Vietnamese Feast
Posted on October 23, 2022 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Here are some pictures of our off-strip Vietnamese feast a couple of weeks ago at Pho So 1 when we were there for the PPA Championships.
It was so good! Probably the best Vietnamese food I’d ever had. I highly recommend this place if you’re ever in Las Vegas. Definitely worth going off-strip! Until next time, GNG.

More Vegas Food
Posted on October 21, 2022 by Ching under Food and Drink, Travel.
Pictures of our burgers from PrimeBurger at the Venetian.
I think we would have been just as satisfied with In and Out but this one was inside the hotel so we didn’t have to go far for it.
The next morning we ended up at Virgil’s after looking for a “Hash Hash” place for nearly an hour. We found Hash House a Go Go at Linq but we didn’t think it was the right place so we kept looking. When we couldn’t find the place we just gave up and stopped at the first place we could find that seemed appetizing.
I wanted to add sausage to my bacon, egg, and cheese burrito but we had a bit of miscommunication and I ended up with an andouille sausage link.
Food wasn’t bad. Most everything we had that weekend was pretty good actually, if not a tad expensive. But that is Vegas for you. Until next time, GNG.
