If you’ve talked to me recently, you know about True Food Kitchen in Phoenix - the first restaurant to feature all foods approved by Dr. Weil and consistent with his Anti-Inflammatory diet!  I have eaten there so many times in the last few weeks that I lost count :).  TFK took something like 2 years to open and is a collaboration between Dr. Andrew Weil and restaurateur Sam Fox (Sauce, Zinburger, Montana Ave, NoRTH).  The food there is not only healthy and fresh, but also amazing!  VERY delicious.  They even have deserts like Flourless Chocolate Cake and Chocolate Mousse.

I hope they open one in Tucson.  I would eat there a lot.  Then, maybe I’d run into Andy Weil one day (since he lives in Tucson too) and I can thank him for the positive impact he’s had on my life.  In the meanwhile I am very thankful that the only True Food Kitchen in the world is only 2 hours away.

I try to get new dishes every time I go — so far, these are the best dishes I have tried and highly recommend are:

Appetizers:

• Raw Fish Appetizer Special (Spicy Raw Fish with homemade Sriracha sauce)

Best sashimi I’ve ever had!

• Herb Hummus with Pita Bread & Greek Salad

Best Hummus I have EVER had.  They home-make it.

• Caramelized Onion Tart with Smoked Garlic, Black Figs & Gorgonzola

Main Dishes:

• Andy’s Favorite “TLT” Tempeh, Lettuce & Tomato on Whole Seed Bread

Surprisingly good.  I had this for lunch today and am STILL craving it.  Jenni ate the half I took home.  She agrees :).

• Tuscan Kale Salad, Lemon, Parmigiano Reggiano & EVOO
• Fresh Tomato, Pasilla Chile & Manchego Pizza

They go VERY easy on the cheese.  This is great if you are following the Anti-Inflammatory diet.

• Miso Glazed Black Cod, Bok Choy, Asian Mushroom

WOW!  The first time I’ve ever eaten Black Cod.  It was a little sweet and delicious.

• Butternut Squash Ravioli with Mushrooms, Savoy Cabbage & Pistachios

This pasta is really incredible.  One of the best tasting pasta’s I’ve had.

• Grilled Sustainable Salmon, Shiso, Lime, Avocado & Cilantro Aioli Sandwich

THE best Salmon I have ever eaten.  It was very tender and did not taste fishy AT ALL.

• Sustainable Salmon, Roasted Apples, Carrots, Celery Root, Mustard Vinaigrette

A different preparation of THE best Salmon I have ever eaten :).

• Wild Ahi Sliders, Wasabi, Radishes, Cucumber on Sesame Brioche

Drinks:

They make the mixed drinks fresh at TFK:

• Pina Colada

This is hands-down the most delicious Pina Colada I’ve ever had.

There are a couple other drinks I tried at TFK and was not a fan of, but then I tried the Pina Colada and I’m glad I did.

• Medicine Man

Has rare and powerful Olivello antioxidant juice in it from sea buckthorn berries.  Not as sweet as I’m used to, but once I realized that and changed my expectations, this became a very tasty drink.  I got it with Green Tea instead of Black Tea.

• Iced Green Tea

Deserts:

• Chocolate Mousse

My Favorite Desert there so far

• Flourless Chocolate Cake

Jenni’s Favorite Desert

Here is the full menu (but not the deserts).

The new BlackBerry Storm is coming soon to Verizon Wireless.  The Storm is the first touchscreen BlackBerry.

BlackBerry Storm

Just recently Google released a free, lightweight web browser called “Chrome”.  It is very fast and though still beta has some great potential to become our browser of choice (which is currently FireFox) in the near future.

Google Chrome

Features Include:

• Very Fast.
• Tabbed Browsing.
• Single box for both web addresses and Google search.
• “Incognito mode” — when an “Incognito” window is launched, Chrome does not keep the pages you visit in browser history or search history, and they won’t leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window.
• Visual History.

Visual History Feature in Chrome

Download it from www.google.com/chrome.

If you like the Mac Mini but are looking for a PC Version, you’re in luck.  Just this week Dell released it’s “Studio Hybrid” PC.  About the same size as an external DVD drive or a Nintendo Wii, the Dell Studio Hybrid is available in a wide range of changable color sleeves - and Bamboo.  It is Dell’s “Greenest” PC so far.

The BlackBerry Bold

There are some early-release units floating around — here is a video walkthrough of a unit Crackberry.com purchased on ebay:

Although the Bold will not be a touchscreen, there is a rumor that BlackBerry is working on their first TouchScreen model - codenamed “Thunder.”  The Touchscreen BlackBerry “Thunder” will be a Verizon Wireless/Vodafone exclusive — which is good news for us since Logic IT Consulting is partnered with Verizon to activate and manage phones, laptops, tablets, and other Verizon devices for our clients and their employees.
