Restaurant Week

San Diego Restaurant Week involves over 100 restaurants in San Diego showcasing their awesome food in a three-course affordable meal. Last year we headed over to Indigo Grill for one of the most amazing meals I have ever had, also one of the biggest meals ever! I had high expectations for this year...and they were met, for the most part. This time around we tried another Cohn Restaurant, Kemo Sabe. I had the Arizona Roll for the appetizer, which was great! Everything else on the plate was not so good....and fairly confusing. I tried some of the chicken potsticker from a friend's plate, and that was awesome! It wasn't your traditional pot sticker, this one was baked or fried. Totally yummy. For the main course, I had Blackened Satay Chicken Stack. This was pretty much awesome! It is a stack of grilled pineapple, chicken breast, and corn cakes with a side of fruits and 10 spiced grilled plantain. It was a great mix of flavors and spices and pure deliciousness. And dessert....hmmm that was nothing short of amazing! I had a potted brownie with Kahlua ice cream and a chocolate dragon. That's right, a dragon...made of out of white and dark chocolate, you know you want it! All in all, last years was better, but this year will definitely keep me coming back.

On a side note, the Cohn family of restaurants are awesome. They are having a special deal from January 22nd - January 28th, $20.09 for the same menus as restaurant week. I highly recommend it, so check it out!
