TEMPURA-mental, Volume One: Reader's Choices

Earlier today I was lounging around after lunch thinking of different blog topics.  I looked up some new bands, read some sports articles, and even checked npr.org for a bit to see if I could enlighten any of you politically (I'd rather not take my chances).  An hour went by, than another, and before I knew it I was knee deep in writer's block without a single idea worth expanding upon.  I looked down at the crumbs of shrimp tempura I devoured for lunch, partially defeated from a personal brain-storming session gone wrong, and walked the trash to my waste basin.  All of a sudden, the idea came to me like a rush of freezing air bursting out of the ice box - restaurant reviews...

Welcome to the first post of the Morty's Corner special segment, TEMPURA-mental.  Isn't that just a great title?  On a weekly basis, I will try to dine at a random Bay Area restaurant, check out the scene, and write up a bitchin' review for people to check out.  Sometimes, like this week, I will take an eatery suggestion from whomever suggests, and other times I will pick one myself.  No, I am not turning my blog into a Man Versus Food or No Reservations styled write up where I base every post off of a restaurant or meal; that would suck.  My main goal is to change up the blog topics every so often and, quite frankly, see how good, or shitty, I am when it comes to food reviews.

I would like to visit places that also have a fun vibe because we all know the food is not everything.  Music, population, and activities all have to do with making a restaurant the "hang out spot."  Old dive joints, taco trucks, local delis; let me know which one I should head to first and I'll test it out.  If there are particular dishes I should order, jot them down.  I know people have their go to spot that they love, mine is the Dutch Goose in Menlo Park.  I think The Goose is so good I have even spent a couple Full Day Soul Searching Experiences (another post, another day) there - what is that spot for you?  I would love to check it out and, as always, publicize my opinion on a worldwide scale.  What eatery should be the topic for TEMPURA-mental, Volume Two?
