Where are the Bad Reviews?

By Unknown
I’ve been asked a few times why bad food/restaurant experiences aren't mentioned in any of the CUWF blog entries. Here's a few reasons why:
  • In a world full of negativity, I feel that there is no need to add more of it to the internet universe.  I think we need a little more positivity in our lives, don't you agree?
  • No restaurant is 100% perfect (not even Michelin-starred restaurants!).  Every establishment has its bad days and I don't think that should ever be the reason to blast a chef or a restaurant on the internet, period. Let's celebrate, not castigate!
  • The name of the food blog is Cheer Up With Food – we stay true to form and only write about foods that cheer us up :)
If you're the type to relish in the best that the culinary creationists out there have to offer, look no further than our blog because that's what we love to do, too!  With that said, be sure to embrace the eats, enjoy the flavors, cheer up with your favorite foods and live life to the fullest, always.

Japan Trip '16: Sushi Bar Yasuda

By
I had to save my best dining experience in Japan for last at  Sushi Bar Yasuda !  When my husband and I entered the small, intimate restaurant, we saw Chef Yasuda standing alone at the bar.  He had no facial expression (maybe he was getting into the zone?).  As everyone sat down, he was preparing our foods and began talking to us in a calm, friendly manner.   As the night progressed, we all were having interesting conversations with Chef Yasuda from his life back in New York (he was the former owner of Sushi Yasuda ), sushi making techniques (and secrets!), him getting to know a bit about his patrons, and so on. I had told him that we were from Las Vegas, NV and he made fun of how it was impossible to get great sushi to the desert.  Well, after eating my omakase meal, I would have to agree with him! Now onto the food, if you haven't recognized him yet, Chef Naomichi Yasuda is featured in CNN's Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown  episode ...

Herbs & Rye

By Unknown
After driving pass by  Herbs & Rye  for many years I finally went in to see what all the hype was about this place.  They serve classic cocktails that were popular during the Prohibition Era and before that time like the Gothic Age (unknown-1865) and Golden Age (1865-1900): Here's an example of of some of the drinks: I loved all the drinks they made, wasn't disappointed with any of them: Herbs & Rye also serves Italian food like  flatbreads , pasta, and  they're known for the steaks they cook, I'll try some next time!  I only had the appetite to drink: I really enjoyed my time here especially the atmosphere of a " speakeasy feel".  They get busy during the weekends so if you plan to dine in, make a reservation !
