Dinner at Eez + a Train Concert
/I'm never not craving sushi and I'm never not celebrating my birthday without a roll, or five, because that's just how I roll.
Sushi jokes? I've got 'em!
One of my favorite places for sushi is Eez Fusion & Sushi in Huntersville. The services is great, the fish is fresh, and the unique menu caters to everyone (even those who do not like sushi!). It's a safe and delicious choice.
Here's what we drank and ate...
That Mezcal Drank: mezcal, cilantro, citrus juice, soda, agave and harissa.
Spicy Poke Dip: spicy tuna poke with salmon and yellowtail, seaweed salad, served with wonton chips.
Pork Potstickers: 10 pork potstickers with ginger citrus dipping sauce.
And then I built my own roll, to match my blog's name, because that's just who I am as a person. ;)
I call this one The Birch.
Inner: white fish, mint, inari (sweet tofu)
Wrapper: seaweed
Rice: white
Outer: Tobiko
The flavor combination is definitely unique and a first for me. It is sweet, salty, and savory.
Tropical Storm Roll: kani, avocado and cucumber inside, topped with yellowfin tuna, salmon, yellowtail, Japanese mayo, sweet eel sauce, sriracha and tobiko. Served with wasabi yuzu
Cash Money Roll: tempura salmon, cucumber, cilantro and spicy mayo inside, topped with avocado, cashews, mango salsa and sweet eel sauce. Served with ponzu dipping sauce
Chef's Deluxe Sushimi Mix.
Not pictured: miso soup and the Skinny Gonzales drink.
It was a lovely dinner with my mom, Brandon, and Charlotte. We enjoyed the food and watching Charlotte eating spicy poke and sashimi with chopsticks. I'm still in awe that my child loves sushi but not mac and cheese.
We skipped dessert because we were so full! We took a walk around Birkdale and popped into a few stores before heading home.
We live near PNC Music Pavilion and pass it on the way home. There was heavy traffic near the venue so we knew there was a concert happening. A quick search on Google revealed that it was OAR and Train.
I had a rather difficult week and an impromptu adventure was just what the doctor ordered. We bought tickets from a re-seller on the street for $20 dollars, found an amazing parking spot, and an awesome spot on the lawn. Our Monkey Picnic Blanket came in handy...
I've always enjoyed Train's music and that evening was no different. Honestly, I didn't realize how many hits they had, or how the lyrics were just what I needed to hear at that moment, or just long it's been since Brandon and I have been to a show together.
What's your favorite roll at Eez? Have you ever created your own? If so, what was it made out of?
