Some Asian Restaurants to Consider...
Seeing as how I'm part Asian, I'm going to take the next two blogs to inform you all the asian restaurants around the area that I'm quite find of, along with some places to go grocery shopping for asian foods.

1) Manna Restaurant - Location: very unknown to me, however I do know that if you google it with your computer/iphone/itouch, it is definitely there. Servies Korean restaurant at very good prices and wonderful food. The owner is actually from Kurdistan and speaks 7 languages. His girlfriend is the chef whose cooking I've grown fond of. If you like spicy foods, I suggest the Kim-Chi-ji-gae. This is my favorite Korean meal. Be sure to order bottle of Soju! Incidentally, there is also a korean grocer next door that sells tako (octopus), unagi (bbq eel) and almost every episode of your favorite korean drama.
2) Sonobana Restaurant - 日本料理：Compared to other Japanese restaurants, this one is relatively cheap and with hefty portions. My favorite dish there is the tempura udon. After a bowl of this and a tall Sapporo beer, Econ homework just looks better. But the main reason I go here is for the Japanese grocer that is next door. Yes, they also run a grocery shop next door that sells hard to find Japanese food. I'm not talkin about that crap at Harris Teeter either, I mean like authentic things (i.e. qp mayonaise, Korokke, etc..).
3) Ken's Sushi. A lively bunch of chefs and waitresses, this place is sure to make you full. Of the times that I have been there, I'm still a little skeptical of Nashville sushi. I mean seriously...seriously. Nashville. Sushi. When I go to ken's I usually get the Tonkatsu-Don (this is fried pork cutlet with egg served on top of rice). The service is prompt and the owner is a young Japanese guy who is fun to speak with. Not a bad place for a date either.
3 more to go after this! DeAngelo Hall is a raider and I don't think we'll draft McFadden. Thank god. Oh yeah, I chose Memphis to go all the way. It's been a good bracket for me.
