Hello Droolers!

​Do you love food?  So do we!  And we enjoy exploring all of the cuisine available in and around the Coastal Bend.  It seems new restaurants and dining opportunities continue to pop up all around us and we look forward to each new experience.
But we only care about one thing.
We don't care if it's $5 or $500. We don't care what the bathroom looks like, or even if there is one. We don't care if the server is knowledgeable or rude. We don't care about the decor, plates, or lack thereof. We only care about one thing.
When it hits your palate, does it blow your mouth up? Does it make your jaw drop until you realize that the food is spilling out? Does it make you close your eyes for a moment? When it does, you'll know. And all of the dishes on this blog will make you drool.
Welcome to Drooldish!

Cabo St. Lucas - Aka Sushi, Water St.

Wow, amazing presentation of the Cabo St. Lucas! Vibrant, fresh, thin onion for depth that did NOT overpower the dish. The bed of dikon is thin, like angel hair pasta. The fish, yellowtail, is fresh and perfect. Thin avocado and jalapeno provide the perfect intensity and texture quality that really makes the dish. The textures work so well together... Your teeth sink into soft, buttery fish, followed by a crisp, light crunch from the dikon.

So, we walked in at 1:30 and the kitchen closes at 1:45. We're through with our meal and we're drinking a beer at 2:20. The kitchen staff has joined us in the dining room, as we're the only patrons left. They're watching "Chopped" and talking food. We love that the staff loves food and lives it. Here they are, after a day of cooking for others... They each cooked their own food now, and are comparing and sharing. They are talking about Japan and Korea. "Did you know Japan has 5 Burger Kings and 3000 McDonalds?  It lets Burger King offer the ‘black burger’... All black bun and all."  There is nothing quite as satisfying as learning that those preparing the food are truly dedicated to the craft!

We learned that the owner is only 30 and has been doing amazing things with the restaurant.  This Aka Sushi is NOT to be mixed up with the one on Everhart. Go to Water St., people!

    Grant and Lori moved to Corpus Christi in 2012 and have been exploring the available cuisine ever since.  Because dining out is something they love to do together, Grant had an idea for a food blog of all the best foods in Corpus.  If you have suggestions for something they simply MUST try, use the "Make a Suggestion" page or Facebook page!
