50 Plates. Amazing Happy Hour!

With out a question - 50 Plates is my personal favorite new discovery/restaurant!!


Kern Dogs. Andouille sausage with cornmeal batter and sweet hot mustard

Fugi's Grill and Sushi/ Sherwood

Sushi may very well become my new vice!
Of course, I had the California rolls as any new convert does.
On the right is the Fugi Special, which includes baked scallops, shrimp, krab, green onions, avocado and tobiko.



Yes, as a novice, I accidently mixed my sauce a bit too hot and had to wipe tears.

And by dessert, we mean a flight of three whites.
