FOODIES

Harrah’s canceled their poker tournaments on Sunday so Brian and I didn’t end up playing any poker. Mostly we just shopped and ate. We ate a lot.

Our first stop (on Saturday night, right after checking in at the Country Club Plaza Courtyard Marriott) was The Cheesecake Factory which just happened to be only a couple of minutes walk from our hotel.

Brian had the four cheese pasta with chicken, while I had the bang-bang chicken and shrimp. I had never had it before and it was not at all what I expected. I was imagining Bonefish Grill’s bang bang shrimp, but made with both chicken and shrimp. It wasn’t like that at all.

Their bang bang chicken and shrimp dish is a mild curry dish served with rice. It was pretty good. Although, I’ve had better curry dishes.

Brian really enjoyed his pasta, though. He said it was delicious.

Brian and I concluded our meal by sharing a chocolate tower. It’s a slice of seven layer chocolate cake that is big enough to feed four people. It’s actually identical to the great wall of chocolate at PF Chang’s, which made me wonder if both restaurants get the cake from the same supplier. =P

Our dinner at The Cheesecake Factory was the first of many great meals on our Kansas City weekend. Stay tuned for more food pictures!
