Life Lessons To Goodie Foodie Fo Yo Tummy: Good Eats

Good Eats is a section where both the skinny bitches contribute their experiences at various great restaurants they have eaten.

Tampopo (St. Paul, MN)

The first time I was introduced to this place was by an American-Japanese borned organizer of the AAI conference that we went to. We (immunology students of the Mayo Clinic) were sent to attend this 5-day course, and were excited to be in the cities embarking in the journey to tasting great food (and of course to learn advance immunology courses). The organizer gave us some recommendations on Japanese restaurants and Tanpopo is his top choice to get the best udon noodles in the twin cities.

Tanpopo is famous for their handmade udon noodles serve in their flavorful broth....hmmmm.... Also, don't forget to try their dessert of the day. I have had their sweet potato creme brulee and the pumpkin one (Amazing!)

The catch is that they only serve dinner.

Darker Than Blue (Baltimore, MD)

Darker Than Blue is a modern and hip restaurant that serves amazing gourmet soul food. It is located at Greenmount, Baltimore...yes a big shout-out to the hood I used to live in (well, the elder skinny bitch still resides there).

I must say everything we have tried so far has been yummcious. They start by serving their famous sweet corn bread with sweet potato-whipped butter (Oh so heavenly good!). The fried chicken and ribs are a must try (don't forget the mac n' cheese too).

Welcome, and About us Skinny Bitches...

Yo, yo, yo, just two sistas blogging away to great food and good life. How to achieve, stay tune and read on!

One of us is in B'more, the city of Charm and The Wire *shout out*. The other is stuck in the land of vikings, what else can I say more about it *grin*. That's in Minnesota, for ya'll that don't know your American geography well.

As skinny as we are, we eat and don't binge. More importantly, we are out to prove that skinny bitches CAN cook GREAT food.

Now you say, how do we make fancy great meal in this depressing economy. If it makes you poor-out-of-job people feel any better, one of us is an underpaid, overworked graduate student, and the other is just an underpaid (and also overworked) state employee. Follow us, and you can eat your way to skinniness and keep your pockets full....that, or we later become jolly fat bitches in the end...stay tune!...Holler!
