Green Olive Buffet & Grill

On our way home, my wife and I tried to decide whether we should go home and cook or just drop by the ghetto buffet for a quick fix. The heat was beating down on us, we were starving, and the big banner said “seafood dinner for $12.95” couldn’t hold us back. The place is huge and a bit messy, especially bathroom, that’s why I called it ghetto. Still, the food is decent. We stuffed ourselves with raw oysters, steamed crabs, Louisiana crawfish, steamed clams, grill shrimps and New York steak. The Boston clam chowder was also banging. It’s quite an enjoyable evening. Now it’s time to take a walk to digest all that seafood.

The New York Moon

I like the typography and the light-cream color of the New York Moon web site; however, the blue background seems out of place.

Poet of Piano

NPR profiles Tommy Flanagan:

One of many hard-bop giants to emerge from Detroit, Tommy Flanagan possessed a brilliant, sensitive touch which made him a first-call pianist for more than 50 years. Though his legacy remains under-acknowledged, Flanagan helped create some of jazz’s most memorable albums and served as a longtime accompanist for Ella Fitzgerald before concentrating on his own work as a leader.
