"A congenital loser trapped in a dead-end profession from which he can derive no personal satisfaction, yet possessed of enough self-awareness to recognize the absurdity of his situation."
Asparagus
at Akebono: Bacon-wrapped
asparagus; and Apara Niku Maki with rib
eye-wrapped asparagus, glazed in soy mirin. Tidy appetizers for
body and spirit.
Akebono's
namesake edamame in butter, garlic, soy sauce. I like an
appetizer that involves squeezing and sucking. Also, deep-fried
pork dumplings are top rate! So crisp and flavorful.
The art of
deep-frying: The Kara-Age Bacon, with togarashi
mayo, has more crisp and flavor in the breading than the bacon
it surrounds, while in contrast, the tofu fries are quite good!
Cocktails
excel at Akebono: The Colorado Bulldog features
Stoli vodka, Brown Jug bourbon and St. Brendan's Irish cream
liqueurs, with a splash of cola; A standard Old Fashioned
made with Maker's Mark bourbon, a dash of bitters, a pinch of
sugar, plus cherry and orange for garnish.
