What is a Foodie?

A Foodie is a person devoted to refined sensuous enjoyment of especially good food.  Real foodies will travel to taste different menus or have food delivered to them by delivery services like GoWaiter Colorado Springs so they can stimulate their taste buds all hours of the day. 
True foodie can be labeled as synonyms they have fallen out of favor and bring to mind a stodgy or snobbish attitude, when it comes to food.  The Foodler is becoming a good resource for foodie for delivery options around the US.

Thailand Thai food vs. American Thai food



Thailand Thai food vs. American Thai food.  Is there a difference?  How will I know the   difference? Well let’s see if we can figure this out. Many Thai restaurants are even operated by real Thai people, they know how to cook this food, so why does the food still taste different than Thailand’s Thai food? Well it’s not only a matter of the availability of authentic ingredients, it’s that, despite their product they still have to consider the tastes of their target clientele, Americans. Here are some of the differences between Thai Thai and American Thai…
1.      Americans love huge portions, portions are smaller in Thailand.
2.      Pricing differences are huge, but price does go up with portion size, $1-$1.30 meal in Thailand would cost about $7-$10 in America
3.      In America we think that deep fried spring rolls are eaten often, not in Thailand, but Americans love deep fried things.
4.      American Thai food comes with larger servings of meat than in Thailand.
5.      American Thai food while usually heavy on the meat, skimps on the herbs, not sure why but that definitely affects flavor and authenticity.
6.      The salty dried shrimp that is a fundamental ingredient in authentic Thai food is usually absent from American Thai, low sodium diets maybe?
7.      Flavor level in general is just different, not lacking just different, try Thai real Thai and you’ll see.
8.      Sourness is a pillar of Thailand’s food and that has definitely been toned down to suit the American palate. So there you go, for those of you unfamiliar with Thai food that were thinking of giving it a try, it’s delicious and definitely worth your consideration. So give it a try I think you’ll love it!   GoWaiter Colorado Springs Delivers Lanna Thai  you can also find out more about our delivery service on Foodler.com

How to eat sushi: The hands

This was an article on Travel CNN I share the link below, I wanted to share this with you as GoWaiter Colorado Springs is growing we a starting to get more restaurants that offer Sushi so I thought it would be fun to go over how to eat SUSHI.  When you order your food for delivery from either Foodler or GoWaiter.com you will see all in Colorado Springs we have some of the BEST restaurant options for Sushi.

How to eat sushi: The hands 

Sawada's technique for the perfect sushi experience:
How to eat sushi1. Grip the sushi -- do not squeeze.
How to eat sushi2. Roll it partway over.
How to eat sushi3. Turn it upside down.
How to eat sushi4. Dip lightly into soy sauce.
How to eat sushi5. Place whole piece in the mouth, letting the texture and delicate flavor of the soy-dipped fish touch the tongue first.

There’s a simple reason for inverting your sushi: the molded rice base will disintegrate if dipped directly into soy sauce. The rice will also soak up too much sauce, ruining the flavor balance.
However, if you’re lucky enough to score a seat at Sawada, you won’t be concerned with the dipping step. Like many top sushi masters, Sawada seasons each piece with his own soy sauce blend or a sprinkle of sea salt before serving, hence no need to dip.
“But the rest is the same,” says Sawada. “The fish should touch the tongue first.” Most mainstream sushi-ya (sushi restaurants) expect customers to dip, and you’ll find soy sauce dishes on the counter. Soy sauce is called “murasaki,” meaning “purple,” in sushi-speak.  http://travel.cnn.com/tokyo/eat/michelin-starred-master-tells-us-how-eat-sushi-203135
