I just want to know if she means the nape of her neck when she says "her kitchen", as in the sentence "oof I've got peas in my kitchen, time to make a hair appointment"

Um, this was not my idea. And, I know you're going to read this and think to yourself, "Well, duh! OF COURSE the sushi was horrific because you ate it at a glorified Cattlemen's-Outback-TGI Friday's with samauri swords on the walls!!!!!" Yes, I am aware that I should not be surprised. However, this was not my idea and, well, sometimes you have to "take one for the team" and pretend to eat mediocre food because it is in front of someone you love. Well, now that that's behind me, I am totally allowed to give my uncensored Yelp reviews about the shitty restaurants that I was dragged to because I am no longer worried about Mr. Urban Socialite stalking me on Yelp and possibly having his feelings hurt.

Phew, movingalongthen....

The BBQ was mediocre at best and the sushi was, um, well, if a menu actually has a "gringo sushi" section, PASS.

I want to throw up extra stars for the waiter whose goatee was long enough to put into little pigtails because that's kinda cool in the "wow, they are allowed additional flair in order to express themselves"...then I realized that he handled my food...

I'm your huckleberry...

Tex Wasabi's is my restaurant huckleberry. We didn't have reservations but took a chance on a Saturday night and popped in. We were seated quickly - near the fireplace, no less! At first Kung Fu Panda was playing on the big screen but that soon faded to Tombstone. Both winners in my book.

We ordered a modestly priced (A 2009 Tamas Pinot Grigio) bottle of wine for the table. Low price or not, it was great. That tells me they are careful to put together a superb wine list.

In vino veritas.

I excitedly ordered the dirty magazine roll and had a back-up plan. Just in case they were going to break my heart and no longer serve that. Luckily they were and it was every bit as beautiful as I would have imagined.

We also ordered a brisket sandwich that was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The fries were fresh, tasty and crispy. I didn't try the ribs but all who ordered them were raving.

My only critique was of the soy sauce. It was definitly off/old, bleh. I could have asked for a new bottle but I was 2 or 3 glasses of vino in and well,..I didn't really care at that point.

A one man band set up half way through our meal. He had everyone singing along to "It Ain't Me Babe". My daughter lit up at that one, as she has been on a Johnny Cash kick lately.

Service was a bit slow toward the end of the meal but we were having such a great time, I barely noticed.

depressing amount of googling/yelp searching yields that the 'dirty magazine roll' is a *secret* menu item - spicy tuna, hamachi, unagi sauce. so not yr gringo roll with hotdogs and wasabi.

the thing I like about this review is a) the pro's and b) the way he casually throws in mention of him finishing a half-marathon

What do you get when you put Texas style BBQ and Japanese sushi together???
Enter: Tex Wasabi
I know...it sounds odd. Another Guy Fieri signature restaurant I had to hit up during my Sacramento visit.
Rather than going into major write up, here are my pros and cons:
Pros:
-The smoked BBQ ribs (full rack $26.00) is the dish to get with a cold beer. It's already award winning according to the restaurant manager so take our word for it. Meat fell off the bone and the intense dry marinate rocks the palette. Cayenne pepper was the key ingredient.
-This converted restaurant is big. Large enough for groups of 20 or more.
-Bar scene is very accommodating with top shelf liquor and beer taps are plentiful to satisfy your thirst.
-Our server was cool. Very hospitable, attentive, and apologetic. He really knew the menu well.
-There's actual BEER PONG here on certain nights according to their event calendar. This would be worth the return visit.
-You can wear shorts and flip flops here. It's a rock and roll type of place with a splash of Japanese wall coverings.
Cons:
-Guy Fieri is not cooking in the kitchen. I know. It would been nice. He's major celebrity now...so it's more than likely you will never see him here.
-I just finished my half marathon down the street (American River), so they could have at least given me more BBQ sauce with my full rack.
-The veggies that came with my BBQ ribs looked like hell's kitchen served it...but I'll give them credit for the baked beans to make up for it.
-My buddy's Gringo Sushi was a laugh. Hahahhaha! The sushi looked so sad. He only had two pieces before failing it and ordering the calamari instead.
-The back patio needs more Zen or creativity. It reminded me of my old employee cafeteria patio at Great America (no character).
-The hostess at the front door needs to smile. You can tell she hates her job. Smile...it adds face value to the restaurant.
