Video Transcript

hello hello hello hello peeps this is Diana Randall bro here uh coming to you this evening from the beautiful little city of Prescot Arizona presc Arizona she’s PR yes yes yes yes I am I’m always in production making delicious Cajun pickles that I’m happy to share with you when I see you or if you come to one of my open houses so we are here today to talk about a fabulous new restaurant that we absolutely adore we love it so much that I even had them cater a party we had it was astonishing was so good and so it is (00:42) called Omaha Omaha OHA ohigh oh Idaho no no Wisconsin no what state is it it’s o h Au U Hawaiian Barbecue something like that Hawaiian it’s called Hawaiian Barbecue no it isn’t it has a name Wahoo uhhuh something like that I don’t think so I think it says Hawaiian Barbecue on it does not okay pull up my phone and I’ll prove it to you right now it has a formal name not just Hawaiian Barbecue okay all right but it is on the corner of Cortez and Sheldon so for you local folks don’t miss it it’s fabulous it (01:19) used to be where the old Thai Cottage was yeah so we have a review on K Tha cottage which was also my favorite yeah no it’s actually we called it a cottage but it actually the name of it was actually house that’s right but it was uh it was run by a Thai family lovely and uh they they did a great job and uh the only thing about it was they were constantly away visiting Thailand with their family and I don’t know if they went back to thail think they went back so so we were very sad when they closed (01:49) so it it it took a while for the new place to open and it took us a few weeks to try it but when we did oh it is amazing it is just like some of the traditional food you’ll find in Hawaii when you go to visit so if you love spam they’ve got spam dishes which you Hawaii is the the highest per capita uh consumption of spam in the world that’s right so if you’re a Spam fan this is the place to go but they also have amazing barbecue beef fixed Hawaiian style that’s the that’s the one I would (02:22) try that is so good if you haven’t gone yet try the beef first the beef is amazing the beef is amazing yeah um and then they also have delicious pork they have chicken katsu which is lightly breaded chicken strips fixed uh the Japanese way from in Hawaii as they fix it Paco PCO I forget what they call the breading I don’t know but it was good and uh what else uh oh Cher chicken terak Chien my favorites are the beef and the teriyaki chicken you can’t beat it and then they also give you your traditional uh macaroni salad which is (02:56) really big in Hawaii you get their macaroni salad good and and rice and delicious sauces that goes over it so I mean so you walk in you place your order they bring it to you it’s a you know it’s a nice little seating area yeah it’s set up set up kind of like a fast food place they will bring you your food yes uh from the count I guess if they’re very busy maybe they won’t but they’ll call your number but uh you know it’s not a service restaurant so much but uh it’s it’s wonderful and they’ve done a (03:27) great job remodeling the place the inside of really really nice uh and they are just they are just killing it and they do catering as well so like for instance we had a party we got huge treay of all these different Meats set it up uh buffet style everybody came loved it they also do egg rolls they also do crab drons I mean it’s it’s it’s good stuff it is really good stuff and it’s just a great place just to go have lunch yeah uh you don’t necess if you don’t need to have catering just go (03:56) there and you have a great you know dinner um they have smaller sizes they have bigger dinner portions it goes on and on and on I cannot say enough good things about it is really good Hawaiian the other thing I really like about it is it’s not another of something yeah uh so any of you guys out there considering opening a restaurant I’m sure nobody is that probably is no one but just in case if you want to start a restaurant in the area of Prescot don’t do Italian there are at least a half dozen phenomenal (04:30) really good Italian Italian restaurants don’t do Thai there’s like a half dozen Amazing Thai restaurant but you know people new restaurants oh it’s another Italian restaurant oh yeah okay well every eighth visit will go there you know because the other ones are are always going to be the priority but these people very barbecue very clever something different and something really really good we did a recently did a video on lyx Lake they do German food it’s nice to see something a little you know off off the path absolutely we (05:04) would love to see a Cuban restaurant would be wonderful yes I’d love Cuban yeah just you know something a little different because uh yeah you a good well we we we’ve had a a couple of decent steak restaurants we’re still waiting for a really fine steak dining uh that’s good so but anyway we are truly tickled to have Hawaiian Barbecue uh we go there all the time now at least once a week for lunch good stuff good so if you’re local make sure you try it out because we need to support all of our local restaurants for (05:36) sure and if you’re coming in from out of town make sure you try it out it’s a good launch you’re not going to be disappointed at let us know what it’s called because uh evidently we’re not sure I I know what it’s called but that’s our tip of the day if you like tips the place to go is our free information site pickle 411.

of the best chicken fingers you’ll get are going to be in Houston God I was just looking for chicken fingers we get to preset the only chicken that was available was Kentucky Fried chicken Y which which is good I like I like Kentucky you know you can you can make it work yeah and then uh or you could get chicken fingers from fries the fries grocery store which is your you like those actually I thought that their chicken fingers were the best in town at that time at that time it’s grocery store chicken I mean it was nothing to shout shout about but they were good you get a good sauce or whatever but now the world has gotten much better so since we’ve been here we did a video on it yep we got a Popeye’s now we have two popey yes now we have two Popeyes one in Prescot Valley and one in Prescot now being from New Orleans she and I both remember you know the spicy spicy delicious wheny the cartoon popey used to be in the commercials popey spicy delicious chicken yeah yeah so honestly the thing about Popeye’s Chicken is it’s not about the chicken I’m just going to be honest it’s not about the chicken it’s really about the sides red beans and rice cage and rice which is not available here I know uh onion rings not available here chicken levers not available here yeah yeah a lot of the really good sides now the biscuits are delicious always will be the french fries are good french fries are very good green pretty good the crust the crust of the chicken is pretty good yeah but uh can’t go wrong yeah some sides missing so we were a little disappointed but we still hit

Video Transcript

hello hello hello peeps Rand and Dian bro here coming to you live from the beautiful city of Prescot Arizona with the presc pickle lady that’s right I just had to change I had on a beautiful green dress that looked exactly like this yeah and in case you guys don’t know the behind us is probably a restaurant or something that’s really a green screen we’re doing the so the Only Why Wearing Green Is Forbidden Rule here is you can’t wear green and you know my my wife the pickle lady is not a rule follower I’m not a rule follower so she had to I had a great green dress it really made my eyes pop yeah wow it would make uh little holes in your body I think I know so all I would have been in this video would be a floating head floating head yeah the rest of me would have disappeared disappeared so we’re back we’re back live I went and changed into the right color yes I always forget that um but happy fall y’all happy fall y’all Happy fall M we’re so excited cheers to fall right it’s finally cooling down here we’re at the leaves are changing yeah beautiful um you can feel the nip in the air it’s delightful yeah so today we’re excited to come talk to you about our new uh a new fall F fall F fall like that yeah I didn’t know where you were going there I felt you I you were falling I was like no I’m not falling yeah new Japanese restaurant which open where there used to be an old Japanese restaurant I think there might have been a Japanese restaurant before that maybe I had never been inside the place uh we had some friends that wanted to go there uh so we met them there and it was delightful it was it was delicious beautiful inside mhm very Japanese which I guess is why they keep opening Japanese restaurants there so you’ll remember there was a sushi man and I forget what it was before what’s the name of it I now it’s called un Su I think you’ll see the you’ll see the sign behind us we want to give him a shout out because uh one of the owners there is somebody near and dear to our heart that we used to know from Prescot Lakes from the club shout out to Erica yes ero that’s what I said Oh I thought you said Erica no ero yeah she’s delightful and she is one of the co-owners yeah and um we were just so tickled to find her over there and beautiful venue and hopefully if things keep going well they’re GNA have a nice um what do you call that uh Grill yes Habachi Habachi yeah so which I’m really excited that’s that’s always fun they haven’t opened up the Habachi yet so I think they’re kind of easing into it so this is a true Family Restaurant this is a Japanese family that owns it you know in Texas all the sushi chefs are all Hispanic but this this is this is the woman’s name’s ero she’s Japanese this is authentic stuff uh you know to me Japanese food is all about sushi and sashimi and rice and all of that right uh and they do have that and they that one of one of our friends got the sushi it looked amazing beautiful very well presented and he said it was absolutely uh amazing uh but they had so many interesting things that I had never explored before Ramen bow yeah and rice bows undone noodles or unone I don’t know how to pronounce any of this stuff but it was all good you don’t have to pronounce it to eat it it’s that’s right yeah so they had a wide variety it’s not simply just Sushi and I kind of like the decor I thought it was very comfy and and we went with our friend who is from China and she said this is authentic oh yeah this is the real thing no additives here okay you’re not going to get MSG or anything like that this is real authentic Japanese so you think of Japanese like with sushi and all that it’s it’s U it’s not Savory right so if you’re in the mood for something that’s going to stick to your ribs and kind of savory you generally you don’t want to go to a Japanese restaurant and get sushi at least I don’t but this stuff is completely different the the Japanese Curry that I have is Absol cry Japanese Curry absolutely delicious with the special noodles and everything thing wasn’t too Curry a lot of times in in uh Indian restaurants Curry just kind of hit you on top of the head it was uh more subtle than that and much more Savory it would really hit the spot delicious really good grub I mean and uh yeah we came home and took a nap it was that good very filling delicious so if you are living here in Prescot now or thinking about coming to visit and you want some good authentic Japanese we cannot say enough good things about it in ero and her family yeah and what a beautiful job they’re doing and we wish them so much success yeah and uh we’ll be back yeah absolutely and you know you got to shout out to to Prescot here I have lived in all kinds of cities big cities small cities everything in between I’ve been all over the country doing business and stuff and I always hit up Japanese restaurants because my wife doesn’t like sushi and so I’ve been a lot of Japanese restaurants and I’ve never seen anything like this very authentic and the idea that a little town like presc would be the one that has the authentic Japanese food that’s a that’s a feather in our cap it is but it is far

this is one of our favorite uh little restaurants that we go to yeah restaurants are you changing your I think there’s a little girl trying to are you are you changed yeah I you going through beavers I think so changing somehow people always like our restaurant reviews so this is a restaurant review we’ve been talking about doing this for a long time yes been a big fan actually we just never kind of got around to it so we love it they’re amazing yeah um and it’s all about you try to guess you won’t guess outlawed Donuts Outlaw Donuts so the alcohol is like a western kind of a western thing you have guns all over wanted posters and that kind of thing but uh yeah you don’t have to dress up as Cowboys don’t get in there but uh evidently the guy who owns it it was like a pastry chef yeah he’s an amazing Chef the most amazing donuts yeah whenever the kids come in town they always have to hit Outlaw Donuts uh we’ll eat a couple of donuts and then we immediately have to take another nap because yeah they are so delicious and Rich it’s like the perfect nap food they probably they have like glazed donuts sort of regular Donuts you’re going to go and get a dozen donuts I’m sure they’re good but the kind of donuts that we buy we they have specialty donors yeah so you don’t buy a dozen of those no no you would die no so we love the delicious chocolate covered donut with and without with and without coconut coconut I like it without nothing like it though with a I mean little donut with a cup of coffee uh ready for a nice little nap after that it’s wonderful because their cake Donuts are good they’ve got a lot of uh you know like uh specialty specialty Donuts I know they’re bacon covered yeah maple glazed bacon covered uh sort of a um it’s not shaped like a donut it’s more shaped like a hot dog bun kind of like an eclair yeah they have what else what else do we love uh Apple Critters bear claws bear claws as big as his head and that’s a big head that’s a big head yeah that’s a big claw not a big Club but he has a big head there’s claws about a bit as big as my head [Music] do you like the Apple yeah the apple fritters are my favorite I I believe they have other kinds of fertiles uh apples are apples my favorite but uh they do have others a lot of different kinds of cake Donuts I’m a big fan of cake Donuts just plain glazed is amazing uh but I think they also have like blueberry you name it they have it they also have um breakfast burritos burritos yeah breakfast um they have a lot of nice little extra burrito uh breakfast type foods I should say yeah besides just donuts so it’s really like um uh Gourmet Donuts okay Gourmet Donuts yeah uh the other good thing is I mean so Saturday Sunday I mean they might have a line you know out the door that’s how good they are uh the exciting thing is they also have a food truck so for our folks who live down in Prescott Valley you don’t have to drive all the way in to go to the storefront they will have the same stuff at their food truck right on glassford Hill yeah right right at glassford Hill okay across 69 from Glasper Hill big panel truck kind of hard yeah and it will say Outlaw donuts and then the good thing is that we’re super psyched they’re also taking over the space next to their store Friday yeah uh I can’t think of the can’t think of the name of the stream it’s right around the corner from uh the square yeah just a couple of blocks yeah uh they’ve got a new storefront that they are developing and they’re going to have a new Little Deli so I can’t wait to see what that’s going to be all about because deli’s half as good as the donuts right oh yeah yeah so it’s a special treat when the kids come in from out of town we always make an Outlaw Run yeah everybody’s we don’t plan much

hello hello hello hello beeps this is the pickle lady I am a pickle Lady this is the pickle lady better half we are Diane and Randall bro you yeah real estate team here in Prescott Arizona there you go very often yeah we often speak together this is what happens when you know each other almost 40 years take too long folks hey and for some of you out there you can kind of let me know you guys talk over each other a lot we do yeah I don’t know if we can control that but I’m just going to be honest folks I’m gonna put that out in the out in the universe when you know somebody so long we just kind of fill each other’s sentences in fill in the blanks um we’ve had some people say you need to stop that I’m sorry it’s just it’s just who we are just who we’ve been it’s just who we are we’ve always been this way and uh so anyway that’s it that’s it that’s us in a nutshell today we’re doing another uh restaurant oh yeah uh usually one of the more popular things that I put out yeah yeah uh new restaurant I guess it’s been around for a better part of the year now maybe I don’t know maybe about six months I would say yeah yeah but lovely it’s called Torme I and we’re thinking it the name of the restaurant may have come from Mel Torme I don’t know I don’t know we haven’t confirmed that we haven’t confirmed that we don’t know it’s formatting don’t yeah well some people might know who Mel Torme is yeah I think our group’s gonna know I think the Velvet Fog yes you’re wonderful he’s a great singer I like his daughter too yeah so anyway very very good food owned by the same owners of Elgato Azul which is another great little restaurant here in town yeah uh again we have superb mom and pop restaurants here yeah and tour May is another one added to our list yeah really cute very Charming very Charming like a little cottage uh and they also have a more extensive outdoor seating area yes we can’t wait to go in the fall sit out there under the trees really good food lovely wines great little atmosphere yes nice bar nice bar really nice bar yeah just what they’ve done with the the place itself is really just kind of cool the the bathroom has a a weird door and uh hey I was just impressed by the way they did the bathrooms this little it’s a cutie patootie it is a cutie patootie but good food yeah really good food the food comes out it looks like a work of art yep uh much like uh much like a Godzilla Azul uh you know the presentation is is very very good um not a manly not a manly food place if you’re looking for you know like a Whopper steak or something like that probably not for you but the portions are pretty good yeah you know I I I was I was more than filled with um beautiful salads I think I got a pasta dish that was divine pasta dish yeah not sure if it’s you would call it Italian I’m not sure what you would call it it’s kind of a combo yeah the uh got to Azul is more what do you call the small dishes that you share uh Tapas Tapas that’s right it’s it’s more of it so thank you that’s more of a topless restaurant not a tapest thing they may have some appetizers more just sort of standard um nice meals but uh same same sort of feel uh we love it we love it we give it five stars yeah thank you so much I can’t wait to go back in the fall yeah and sit outside pretty trees yeah wonderful place so if you’re here in town you’re like hey what’s up what’s a little off you know off the road uh what do you call it what’s that off the road off the beaten path off the beaten path Torme is your place there you go it’s a off the beaten path where you can find Tapas where you can’t find time you can’t find jobs but if you help me I help you it’s all good that’s what’s all good in the hood all right my friends hope to see you one day a Torme that torment and just just be clear uh a lot of people ask us how come you always like the restaurants that you review the answer to that question is if we don’t like it we don’t review it yeah I hope you don’t do this is that my job I’m not a professional restaurant uh critic um so I only talk about the things that I like that I’ve tried and I appreciated I’m not going to talk about the bad ones because we don’t talk about the balance but it’s not like you give everything a thumbs up we just don’t do in fact we went out to review a restaurant we hated it and we threw it off the list we threw it off so it’s pictures and everything we’re like you know what we’re not going to redo this one if we think it’s a thumbs down it’s a thumbs down about it I only want to talk about the good yeah but I do want to make sure everyone thinks yeah no one thinks that we’re just always saying good things uh because we can be critical oh yeah there are some that are we try to keep it nice so if you see the restaurant here we thought it was good oh yeah yeah all right my friends uh again I hope we maybe we’ll run across you our paths will cross at Torme absolutely so uh that is it for today if you
