DIA Blog 015 - What You're Missing Out On At Lawry's The Prime Rib by H8R


by H8R

After becoming famous in Beverly Hills in the 1930s, Lawry's The Prime Rib has become synonymous with excellent food and impeccable service. The location I visited in the Umeda area of Osaka is one of the three restaurants in Japan. It's got a fancy feel that hearkens back to the old days of stiff cocktails and simple, yet delicious, food.
If you like prime rib, then this is the place for you!
The cost is higher than you might pay at your average steak joint, but the quality does not disappoint. My philosophy is to live every day pretty cheaply so you can ball hard when you feel like it! I highly recommend one of the cuts of prime rib over other steak options (I mean prime rib is in the name, right?). The more expensive cuts are usually bigger.
You can get the prime rib by itself, or blow a few extra bucks to get the course.
The course includes appetizers, soup, salad, and dessert.

There are also a wide variety of cocktails, wines, and other beverages to choose from.

There is an all you can drink option, but I don't really think it's worth it. It's better to have a few drinks before and after rather than trying to get buzzed at this fine dining establishment.

This was my second time visiting a Lawry's in Japan. I will definitely be back before I leave!
I talk about visiting this restaurant as part of my trip to Osaka. Be sure to check out the episode and read my other posts about staying in Osaka for 5 bucks and why you'll love Osaka! 
See what you're missing out out and check out the pics from our dinner!

I always look angry when I'm mansplaining, and yes, I am this blurry in real life

Chris went for the Yamazaki 12 year, an excellent choice

I chose the martini

The olives had beef and horse raddish

Cold app - Shrimp cocktail

Spinning bowl salad - I should have recorded how they put the dressing on it

This pepper was the recommended seasoning for the salad 

Hot app - crab cake

Soup - Clam chowder

I switched to a nice California Merlot for the main course

Here's the man with the goods

Each prime rib is sliced on the spot and the plate is put together right in front of you

Main course - The Osaka Cut - This was the smallest prime rib, rare of course
It includes cream spinach, cream corn, and mashed potatoes with gravy

Dessert - ice cream sundae
It has actual whipped cream and fudge (not Hershey's syrup out the bottle)

Coffee to fight the itis

DIA Blog 019 - Living Life With Rocks In Your Shoes by H8R

by H8R You know that feeling right? You're moving along through your day, walking down the road or getting in some exercise. Then, BOOM ! It hits you. That sharp, nagging pain of a rock deeply embedded in your shoe right between the insole and the delicate parts of your foot. It's the worst! So, what do you do? Some would stop everything immediately and get that sucker out of there. Others power through and take it out when it's convenient. Which is the right way to go? This thought came to me as I was getting in my jump rope workout at the park. A nice, big rock got in my shoe while I was jumping rope. Stopping to take it out right then would break a pretty nice streak I had going and disrupt my workout. I decided it was best to finish up my workout and then dump those rocks out when I got home ( gaman much?). In my case, the rocks in my shoe were actually rocks in my shoe. But having a lot of tiny annoyances in your life can be just like having &q

DIA Blog 016 - Get Fit Without The Gym! Why Expats NEED To Work Out And How To Find The Right Plan For You by H8R

by H8R Expat life can be pretty demanding. You've decided to leave your hometown, friends, family, and the comforts of home behind. Many expats find themselves in an unfamiliar (and sometimes unwelcoming) environment with a host of challenges to face and obstacles to overcome. Take into account that you've also ditched your support system and those expat blues can start to sink in PDQ (pretty damned quick). As people become depressed, they often find comfort in food. If you start to adopt a sedentary lifestyle and put on some extra pounds, this can compound the effects of that expat despair and lead you to a dark, dark place. So what can you do about this? When life gets you down, it's best to get moving! Exercise has been shown to provide many benefits for your physical and mental health including a better mood and sustained energy throughout the day. If you can consistently stick to a fitness plan, you'll find that other parts of your life start to
