Favorite Restaurant: Tres Potrillos Taqueria
That's right folks, that's Unagi you see to the left. If you've never had it, go to your favorite sushi spot & try some freshly prepared Unagi with a cold Kirin and you'll think you've died and gone to heaven!

What can I say, I hate to eat lunch at my desk. Thanks to JATBAR I've had a lot of spots to check out! My personal goal is finding cheap places with good food and healthy portions (OK, so I'm not alone in this).

My favorite cuisines are Thai, Indian, Japanese, Mexican & Mediterranean. I don't do sandwiches, though now and then I crave a good burger. Geographic focus is on Sunnyvale and Mtn View with the odd visit to Palo Alto and Santa Clara.

I don't rate on just food. I rate the whole experience. If there is any pain in the butt factor involved (poor parking, long wait, etc.) then the place loses points, no matter how awesome the food may be.

Contrary to Jatbar convention I like to visit a restaurant at least twice before writing a review, and then I average my experiences.

Favorite Restaurant: La Patisserie
Tired of the long, unappreciated, and low paying hours I left Food Service in May 05, SCREAMING! I was a food service/catering manager for 3+ years and I'm back doing HR/staffing which I really love...

Of worthy mention, Jatbar has revealed the CARNE ASADA BURRITO to end all arguments.... Chavez Market people!

I do love to cook, but I need a break once in a while. Hallalujah Jatbar! When in the kitchen, my specialties are Mediterranean, Italian, Thai and scratch cooking like *open the fridge and make something from whats on hand* I may consider patenting my Lasagna...

I also like to experiment with baking in the dutch oven on camping trips. If you happen upon the scent of fresh cinnamon rolls and quiche while camping, stop in! What did YOU have for breakfast? Some people don't eat this well at home. It's obvious - I'm a foodie through and through.

I'm in the Willow Glen area of San Jose and work in North San Jose. Eatin' in the Silly-con Valley, Jatbar style. YEAH!

Watch out for this guy..he is our toughest critic to please. In fact, Eddie is one of the main reasons jatbar was created. He bitched so much about what to eat for lunch, we created a web site to list restaurants to choose from. 1 year later and over 150+ restaurants listed, he still bitches at us. Famous quotes by Eddie...

"What the f*ck, you guys eat too much mexican food!"

"The truth hurts, your site sucks"

Thanks Eddie for your constuctive criticism. Restaurants beware.

Favorite Restaurant: Lucys Tea House (Closed)
After numerous rewrites, Im here to present Profile Version 6.0 for Julie. The previous 5 versions had typos and grammatical errors. She is like this spellchecker that doesnt let up. If I make any msiatkes, she will be the first person to take notice. So if you see any typos on the site, go bug Julie, shes not doing her job.

jatbar 2.0 wouldnt be much without Julie. It was her honest feedback on what the user should expect and ease of navigation. Terry and I thank you for this.

Famous Quotes during our conversation on her previous agent profile.

"Maybe it was just being around you so much changed me. I used to be a sweet person"

"Just trying to live up to my profile, I need to be a bigger b*tch now"

Favorite Restaurant: Blowfish Sushi
I love food too much. I think it may be a bad thing, but only when I'm not eating =)

A few things that might be informative when reading my reviews:
I really like sauces and dips
I don't like food that is very plain and flavorless such as bread, or rice (so if I say I really like said items, it is probably very very good, woo hoo)
I'm picky about my meat, I can't swallow meat that is well done, stringy, overcooked, old.
I am picky about my sushi
I have really bad allergies and I can't breathe through my nose.
I am hard to impress and I think most food is either horrible, not great, okay, good, or superduperbestinthewholeentireworld

Favorite Restaurant: Ramen Club
These days I'm super into the street food movement, French bistros, and most things fried, I love going to both high end joints and hole-in-the-wall places.

Despite my lactose intolerance, I'll never turn down a good slice of thin crust, NYC style pizza. Mmmmmmmm...

Favorite Restaurant: Hotaru
This mofo is chipping away at our patience. Day after day..when is this going to be ready? When do the agents get this? How come we cant...blah blah blah? Omg...its wearing Terry and I down. We usually just give in so we dont have to hear him complain.

If it wasnt for all his complaining though, quality of the site would be a couple of notches down. Thanks.

Interesting Note: You can tell if he really likes food, he will usually overeat to the point of being sick. I have witnessed this twice (Mortons and Fish Tacos). He almost gave birth on the way home.

Quote "I have to pee sooo bad, Im just going to pinch it til I get home."

Favorite Restaurant: Taqueria Los Charros
Specializing in cheapo hole-in-the-wall ethnic food joints. Life ambition to try every dive taqueria in the Bay Area at least once.

Nearly bottomless stomach - can easily out eat bigger 'food-letes' just ask Jason or Terry.

Fortunate to be be a participant in the infamous Carnitas Shootout (http://www.jatbar.com/shootout/shoot_intro.asp).

Gastronomical Goals:

- FroYo a-go-go: try yogurtland, tartini, red mango, DIY, and froyo? all in one afternoon run.

- Triangle tango: in one lunch, hit every taqueria in the infamous Mountain View Burrito Triangle (http://wikimapia.org/5782568/The-Burrito-Triangle).

- Izakaya rumble: on a single day (preferably after cashing in some stock), dine at Gochi, Tanto, Saizo, Yume-Ya, and Nami Nami.

Find me eating lunch at: gochi, las islitas, pho minh, cafe macs.

Favorite Restaurant: Kabab and Currys
My personal favorite kinds of sushi are anything that involves salmon (I love the fatty taste) and eel. Anything deep-fried is up my alley. I hope jatbar reviews buffets so I could give Crazy Buffet on Winchester a -5/10 for crappy service and food compared to Crazy Buffet near the haunted Toys-R-Us.

Hes our bravest agent, has no fears about trying exotic stuff like lamb brains and pig ears.

"Oh lamb brain? Its tasty, just like scrambled eggs"

"Pig ears is like cold thick bacon"

Favorite Restaurant: Zacharys Pizza
Where can I start with this veggie-head? Ive known Brandon for some years now and he is one of the slowest eaters on this planet. I dont know if hes savoring the food or just taking his sweet old time but one thing I know for sure is, hes an excellent source for tasty restaurant recommendations.

I know Brandon would appreciate a shout-out to his hobbie-obsession-money pit-rotary monster-black as night-MAZDA RX-7.

Favorite Restaurant: Gyros House
Another agent who is mysterious to jatbar. The 1 thing that comes to mind is her Insane Menu memory - I dont know if she was bored as hell at work or it was a friday or was just trying to look busy behind the computer, but she proceeded to recite/write the longest email to jatbar about China Palace in Milpitas. She must have listed 20 or so menu items with short descriptions on each of the items.

Late night restaurants seem to favor this agent.

Favorite Restaurant: Spice Islands Cafe
Born in California, Miriam grew up in Asia (Singapore/Seoul, Korea) eating the unbelievably cheap and knee-shakingly good food of local hawker stalls and the primly decadent food of upscale restaurants. She's also half black and half Filipina, giving her a flavor for both American food and the tart/sour/woah flavors of Asia.

She's perpetually on the hunt for the best service, quality, plate intrigue, and food-gasms she can find, and loves most food genres (excepting *spicy,* which even then she'll sometimes eat).

In particular, Miriam hunts for authentic Southeast Asian food (char siu pao, chicken satay, filipino food, etc.) and the absolute bestest desserts she can find.
