Video Transcript

Hello, hello, hello. Randle and Diane Bro, I am the pickle lady. He is the pickle man. We are the pickle team. Uh we’re all about the pickle. You’ll see that on my car if you ever come in and you jump in the van. Don’t be embarrassed because you’re going to be in a van that is emlazed with a pickle. Yeah. Because I will give you a jar of pickles just for coming in and seeing us. (00:28) Some great Cajun pickles. Um, but some things, one of our favorite things to talk about, and so we’ll kind of jump right into it, is some of the different venues, restaurants, fun things to do around town. Another cool bar. Another cool bar. They had a whole bunch of them that kind of popped up uh late last year, so we’re getting around to talking about it now. (00:48) We’ve been to this place a couple of times now, both times. Just a really cool venue. It’s called the Fair Weather Social Club. The first thing you need to know about the Fairweather Social Club is that it’s really not a club. It’s a bar. Anyone is welcome. So, they actually put on the there was the very first thing. It’s a social club, but anyone’s welcome. (01:11) What the hell call it a club if you’re going to confuse people. Other than that, I love the place. It’s uh a old uh old architecture, old old building that they’ve redone with brick walls. Uh the bar is really really cool. And uh they’ve got a lot of in-house cocktails that are really delicious. And uh very charming. (01:31) Very very charming. Uh they have live music in there. And next door they have an empty lot and they’ll have a food truck. They have uh an area for bands to come play so you can go sit out under the trees. Uh it’s just great. It’s very charming. It’s a really good venue. Now we were there in we with first time we went was around Christmas time and then we were there a few weeks ago. (01:54) It was still pretty nippy and we were there at night and they did I think they had some heaters out to kind of keep you warm or whatever, but it wasn’t really happening because of the weather. You know, the band there was was really uh was really good, but it’s kind of hard to get a crowd out to an open air venue when it’s kind of chilly. It’s chilly. (02:17) But now that summer’s coming in, they’re going to be packing and it’s going to be a happening place. It’s very It’s a great place. Again, it’s close to the square. Y easy to go down and have a drink or two, have a nice meal, cap off the night there, listen to some live music, or even if you don’t want if you don’t have dinner, they’ll have a food truck. (02:38) You can just sit out under the trees, listen to music, get some good grub from one of the food trucks there. It’s a good time. Yeah. And the bar itself is very charming. Very charming. And good good drinks. So bartenders are all very professional. I got good bartenders. We have really good bartenders. We really impressed by that. Yeah, it’s all about the the drinks for us. So, yeah. Yeah, it’s important. We are from New Orleans. We know our thing. (02:59) So, we we like a good bar and so lately we’ve been finding some really good ones and we just felt like we should be talking about it and sharing it with you guys so you can check it out for yourself. So, hopefully maybe one day we’ll see you there. We’d love to say hello and introduce yourself. Every now and then I get people who come up and they’re like, “I’ve seen your videos.

Hello, hello, hello. Hello peeps. This is Diana Randall Bro. We are so excited to be here today to talk about the grand opening of one of our favorite places, Auggies. Ding, ding, ding. A is back. Aug isn’t new. Auggies has been around forever. They were They were here before we were here. That’s right. And it was one of our favorite haunts. Really great happy hours. (00:26) Uh really good food on the happy hour. You go in, you get discount drinks, discount food, you leave, it’s amazing how small the bill would be. You’re Yes. And you’re feeling feeling really good. Fantastic. Happy hour. So, we were really really sad to see them close at their old uh their old location where they had been I don’t know just forever. (00:51) But um we knew that they were going to be relocating. It took a while before we found out where they were. So they are in the old shopping mall uh in a space I guess that used to be Sears used to be Sears right next door to East Buyer. So for you locals it is now right by East. It took a while to reopen. They have an amazing venue. It’s huge. It’s it’s it’s nice and comfortable. Lots of space. (01:18) Still have their fantastic happy hour. Y we went there for dinner. It was amazing. What is it? The wanttons. The lobster. The lobster wantton. Lobster wanttons are still there. Our favorite. Now, a lot of people do that for dinner. Uh I tried to get the I I might have been I think it was I forget. I went there. It’s been so long. (01:35) I always always get the uh liver and onions. You know, if you like liver and onions. Yeah, they didn’t have it that day. Just opened. They had just opened and they ran out. So, uh I was a little disappointed. And honestly, I don’t remember what I had, but whatever I had, I think it was a special, but we all left and said, “Wow, that was a great So, we had a good time. (01:55) ” Um, and so now that they’ve been open several weeks, I’m sure it’s even better and flowing better and uh great. I’m liking the new venue better. So, so we’ve I do too. We’ve come across some folks, you know, they’ve been going for 30,000 years to Auggies and it will never be the way it was and they like the old space and here’s why and blah blah blah. (02:18) We don’t I found that it was a lot less cramped. It was a lot more spacious because it’s so loud. Yeah, it’s got more of a a modern feel now. The floors are the what is what do you call it when you do the acid washcreen or whatever concrete wash which I thought really really cool uh just a lot of a lot of space more spacious and great big nice big booths and tables and stuff so you weren’t bumping in. (02:47) So it was a little crowded and maybe a little humid in the other one. the other one cuz uh people would get in there and they would get blabbing and breathing and doing what people do and you know things would get kind of humid. I I I liked it better. It does feel different because of that. (03:03) But uh the food is largely the same. Oh yeah. It was fantastic. Which is a great thing. In fact, we’re going to go there tomorrow night. Yeah. Tomorrow night for uh happy hour and we’re we’re excited to do that. So, just wanted to let everybody know in case they didn’t know or if you were new to town, uh, take your rental card, get over there and try Auggies. You can’t beat it. (03:22) Great happy hour. I think it’s 4 to 6. Yeah. Yeah. Good food, uh, and good good drink specials. So, Auggies, we’re glad you’re back. Cheers to you. Cheers to you. And, uh, hope to see you at Auggies.

Which is really cool. This is like the uh third venue I think we’ve seen since we we got here. It was uh I forget what it was when we first got here. (00:47) For a while it was a brew pub and that was the coolest bar. Yeah. Really? We went there Acronite. So, for those of you who don’t know what Acronite is, that’s in December, uh, during the holiday festivities and everything. And I think they had just opened. Really cool place. Real urban vibe, real urban vibe, contemporary. (01:07) Um, honestly, it’s something you might even see in New York City. It’s really sharp, beautifully decorated, great finishes, great seating areas to kind of sit with your friends and relax and just have a couple of beers or wine. And we were super impressed. Super impressed. A lot of really good house cocktails. Yeah. (01:27) U I tried most of them I think that night. I forget. Do they have food, too? I think uh I think they had small plates. Small plates, I believe. So, don’t quote us on that. But if you want great atmosphere and all within walking to the square, walking distance to the square, you can’t beat it. Yeah. (01:46) It’s nice just to kind of gather maybe after work or after your home tour hopefully with us. You can go to the Cortez and have a nice drink and a beautiful atmosphere and just relax and uh and and bars are getting big in Prescuit. A lot of speak easys are opening up and uh this I describe this as an urban bar. Really fine. We were we were quite impressed. (02:09) Yeah, really quite impressed. The the the drinks were amazing and and very unique. Uh, one thing you make sure you don’t miss if you go to the Cortez in the back of the restaurant. Yes. There’s an open area, like an open air area, which is really quite charming and secluded and private. Yeah. Uh, we the things were getting kind of hot and stuffy and loud and uh I kind of snuck out back there for a few minutes just to kind of cool my jets and enjoy my drink and it was just delightful. (02:42) It’s a good make out spot. Yeah. I didn’t make out. I was by myself, but uh I was with the person I probably love the most, but we didn’t make out. No, we did not. I was doing my thing, you know. But she was making all the noise inside. But if you want to make out in private, it’s a cool spot to do it. Cool spot. (03:03) Yeah. Yeah, it is. It is, you know. or so. But anyway, no, we we just we just might be a little warm right now, but in spring and and fall, beautiful to sit out there and again, go have a nice dinner. I think in the winter they’ll put heaters out there to keep it warm for you. (03:21) But again, you know, go have a nice dinner at the square and then just walk a block or two down and have a a night cap at the Cortez. You can’t beat it. Yeah, it’s uh it it contrasts well with some of the other wellestablished places like the Point uh the speak easys. Uh this was again more urban and viby uh more modern looking. (03:43) Hip and happening. Hip and happening. I think we felt cool. Yeah. Yeah. The the crowd was cool. So uh yeah, it was really cool place.

Pasties at the Fed

You read that right! If you’re looking for a night of acrobatic tricks, live music, and pasties, then get yourself on over to Prescott’s very own “The Federal” aka “The Fed.” Join us this week as we regale you with our experience of being elders in the crowd, as well as what to expect from this night of burlesque fun.

Video Transcript

Hello, hello, hello, hello peeps and welcome to the Randol and Dian bro show. No, not really. But anyway, we are your local friendly realtor couple here in Prescuit. She’s the Prescuit pickle lady. I am her sidekick or girkin or he is. And so we like to uh bring you guys, welcome you to Prescuit, take you around, find you a great house and show you what life is all about here. Yes. (00:26) So, something interesting we just discovered and we went to with former clients, now friends. Shout out to Cheryl and Mike. Thanks for being good sports and coming with us. It was an interesting night. Interesting night at the Fed. So, let’s start at the Fed. Yeah. So, the Fed is the Federal and uh it used to be a uh a post office. (00:50) Well, no, no. Upstairs was the courthouse. Courthouse. Well, I’ve never been above it was the courthouse. When we first moved here, it was a post office. So you there were people working there. Post office downstairs. This still operates as post office. Yes. Do they wear pasties at the post office? Well, I guess they could. It’s acceptable now. (01:08) It’s acceptable now. Okay. All right. You can express yourself. No body shame. I get it. Hey, everybody’s welcome. Hey, it’s okay. So, evidently it’s still a post office, but upstairs there is a event venue called the Federal. Yes. And it’s the old like there’s one room they call the jury room. (01:27) I assume at one point there were juries in there and there’s like a the stage area I think used to be a courtroom. Yes, that’s what I just said. It was like a that’s where the judge sat and preided. So that’s that’s on like the second or third floor. What’s what’s above that? Do you know? I don’t know. Nobody knows. (01:45) Nobody knows the Yeah. Nobody knows. But the fed is on I think it’s second floor. Third floor. I forget. Go. We walked up the stairs. It doesn’t matter. It’s on the second floor. On the second floor. It’s important. It’s a pretty pretty pretty venue. So, if you walk up the stairs and you get to the Fed, don’t keep climbing the stairs. Yeah. (02:02) Stop because you’ve hit the right place. So, it’s a cool venue. I had never been to it before. Uh, great for bands, kind of self-contained. Yeah. Uh, I’m sure you can rent the place out if you have your own event you want to do there. And just really kind of cool. It was a just a really cool space. (02:20) And what was going on there is um perhaps difficult to describe. Right. And I have heard about this, but I had never participated. And so our our friends Mike and Cheryl said, “Hey, have you heard there’s a burlesque show here in Prescuit?” I said, “You know, I’ve heard about it, but are you for real? Where? I’ve never I never knew that such a thing really happened. (02:40) I’d heard rumor.” She goes, “Oh, no. It’s a real show and it’s about once a year.” So I’m like, “You know what? For shits and giggles, we should go. Let’s go.” So we did. We went. So, we did. And I I mean, I should know better because I’m from New Orleans. I should totally have known the difference between burlesque and drag. I learned differently. Yeah. (02:59) Yeah. We were kind of thinking it was going to be a drag show. That’s what I thought. It was not. It The people wearing pasties were um actual young ladies. Real women. Real women. And not all of them were wearing pasties, but a fair number of them were. Yeah. Uh crazy show. (03:16) It was It was called The Forbidden Garden. Yeah. And it last the show lasted for so I should talk about the group first. So young people uh evidently there are some here in Prescuit and most of them performed in this burlesque show I think. Uh either that or they were in the audience. So it’s obviously a very young vibe but uh everyone was very friendly even though you know we we were older. (03:42) They were very accepting of very accepting of the old folks. Yeah. So you know thank you for that. Thank you for that pretending for making us feel welcome. Yeah, make us feel welcome. That’s always good. But it was a a fantastic show. It was completely created by themselves. They made a great It was almost two hours and they had a lot of acrobats. (04:01) Uh they had a lot of dancing. They had a lot of uh singing. They had musicians. So essentially it was a old like the old variety shows. So they had uh they had they had a rig set up where uh I don’t know what it’s called, but this woman sort of wraps herself in a net and then kind of climbs up and you guys know when you do yogurt yogurt yogurt. (04:24) When you do yogurt, you start to spiral. You do yoga. Yoga uh with all the silks and the the scarves and all. You know, kind of impressive. Yeah, very impressive. I just don’t know what they call it. And then they had a uh a couple that were on uh a trapeze and they they were quite wonderful, too. Very acrobatic. (04:45) Uh very interesting. They had uh guitar player. They had u some pole girls uh spinning around around very impressive. Tremendous upper arm strength. And then basically dancers. They had a number of dancers. That’s where the pasties came from. And uh dancing. Really hard for you. What? It was really hard for you and and Mike to watch the pasties. Yeah, I know. (05:11) I know. Pasties anger me. Not really. So anyway, that they uh all very talented people kind of strung together by a matraee. She kind of had an ongoing uh ongoing thing where she would do some readings and talk and kind of interact with the audience I guess while the next Zach was getting ready and then they would come on. (05:33) So basically a traditional it was kind of like a mini it was like a mini circus sole. Yeah. Yeah. And here in Prescuit you wouldn’t think there’d be such a thing. There was It was well done, professionally executed. Yeah, it was like a mini, like I said, cirus here in Prescuit. Definitely an avanguard uh absolutely feel. (05:56) Uh you know, they had projection, things were projected on the wall and and beautiful. Yeah, it was it was uh really interesting. Really different. It was a good show. Yeah. And so we had a great time. I think we were the oldest people there, but hey, that’s okay. You know, we’re hip and happening. We’ll we’ll check it out and let everybody know. (06:13) Yeah, we had a good time. So, if you were living here in Prescat, I highly recommend check out the Fed. Check out the different shows. There’s always really interesting, cool things coming. We’ve got a whole vibe here of very, very, you know, artsy, fartsy, very intelligent young people who are very creative putting out some really nice works. (06:34) Creative avanguard kind of thing. Yeah. You wouldn’t expect it in a little western town, but but we got They’re there and they they were great. They were. So anyway, hats off to them. Thank you for the show. We had a wonderful time. Thanks Mike and Cheryl for telling us about it and we had a good time. We had a great time. (06:50) And also they gave out free succulents. Remember that? Yeah. We got succulent. They had a chick with a instead of cocktails in her hoop, she had little baby succulents. Little baby succulents. There was a lady there just sort of randomly painting the whole time. I didn’t understand what that was, but okay. (07:08) Everyone was kind of going watching her work, you know. As I said, avant guard, you know, but we we enjoyed it. But we did it. So anyway, so if you’re coming here to Prescuit, keep your ears open and try some of this stuff. It’s actually pretty cool. Yeah, you’d be amazed at what’s here. Absolutely.

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.

don’t have a whole lot here to offer yeah well that was well it was true when we first moved here so we moved from uh the Texas area Texas people love chicken fingers they’re into chicken fingers some 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 Popeyes up from time to time the chicken fingers are okay but then we got uh Yummy Cookies cockies oh yeah cockies we talked about cockies earlier so we talked about cockies good stuff good stuff now cockies has been I might want to get that today let’s get that today yeah that’s what I’m saying let’s get that for Lun we’re on we’re on for cockies yeah so here’s the here’s the cockies arc so cocky

just really excited about all those things yeah Mexican Corn’s really good we told a whole bunch of people about cockies and then they went and then they changed the recipe yeah so all our friends were mad at us I don’t know what they were going through or whatever long story short they’re back they’re back they are back so we call this cocky Redux and uh we can we can definitely recommend cockies again they’re backed in fighting form yep fighting cockies got it so cockies is good good stuff uh new place just open Chicken and Waffles chicken and waffles so we’ll talk briefly about chicken and waffles good stuff good chicken not so much on the waffles well it just depends you know they’re they’re working at some Kings but still pretty good uh we need to go back and revisit revisit but there’s certainly an alternative lots of people Square by them yeah I’m not a big chicken and waffles guy I just like the chicken waffles is kind of weird and to me the waffles weren’t

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
