Ambrosia Sushi – Key West

Tonight for dinner I decided to check out Ambrosia located here in Key West. It’s a sushi restaurant inside the Santa Maria hotel off Simonton St. and South St. I will tell you to make reservation if you do not want to sit at the bar. It seems to be a very popular place to eat. I started off with Miso soup and was delighted for find that they add mushrooms to it as well as the traditional tofu and seaweed.

One of my favorite rolls to eat is the Shrimp Tempura. I decided to try theirs and see how it would compare to sushi places back in Chicago. I am happy to report that these guys know what they are doing and the roll just might have been better than the ones at home. The shrimp was fresh, the masago was in there and also the avocado.

Next I decided to try the Chef Sashimi Sampler and they hit it out of the park just with presentation alone.

Overall I would recommend this place. Great find off Duval St. Sometimes it can get a little overwhelming with the large amount of restaurants on this tiny island. I have tried quite a few but still have many on my list.

As always, Peace – LOVE and Tweeting!

SXSW 2012 – Austin, TX Day 1

WE MADE IT TO AUSTIN! Well not yet … Were getting on the road to Austin.

In the lobby of the W in Dallas they have Cowboy’s and Cow’s hanging from the ceiling.

Road drinks! I LIVE on Diet Coke!

Whats for lunch? SUSHI, Yes you were right! And getting to know what I LOVE to eat!

I had to take this photo of the Bud Light Platinum, It has become my new preferred drink!

We finally made it to Austin! After lots of hotel trouble I have a place to stay for the next 24 hours. After checking in and unpacking a little I was off to the welcome party for all of the SXSW Chevy Road trippers! It was a great location, Lanai Rooftop Lounge. Chevy even took it the extra step and made drinks that were themed by the city where each team came from!

It wouldn’t be a Chevy party if I didn’t get to ride home in the all new Chevy Volt! Great car to maneuver the crazy streets of downtown Austin!

This is my “You know your in Texas when” moment for today …

Thank you to Shane A. for posing in your cowboy hat! (I love boys in cowboy hats!)

Before we left the party Chevy gave me a little goodie bag for the road…. Inside was this cool shirt with the hashtag I have been using all week. I can say that is a first for me and I will wear it with pride!

Thanks again to all the folks at GM and Chevy for a great trip so far and many more memories to come!
