Review: Agra

I try to be a gentleman, at least in the early stages, and I like to order for the lady if I'm out on a date. I mean, if I've actually shaved, put a little bit of thought into what I plan to wear and even arrive on time, what's the harm in taking the extra step and pretending to have manners? So I open doors, help the girl with her coat and try to order for her.

And I've eaten at Indian restaurants about 10 times in my life, so I thought I had a handle on the traditional Indian fare. But then I met National Anchor Girl at Agra for dinner on Monday.

Like I said, I try to be mannerly and order for the lady, but I couldn't even order for myself. I do like lamb curry and a few other dishes, but she made several suggestions that I was not familiar with. Instead of lamb curry, she said things like sad paneer and so forth, and I played along as if I knew what she was talking about.

We ordered a few things, and I ended up enjoying them all, but getting there was a little awkward because in my eagerness to agree with whatever she suggested we order, I clearly showed an unimpressive streak of indecisiveness. Or at least I think I did. Well, maybe it wasn't so bad.

Nonetheless, NAG was a very fun date. Good conversation, splendid sense of humor and she happens to be quite attractive.

Sounds like we have a Crush on her.

It's just a date that seemed to go well. Perhaps there will be a return engagement.

You don't teach English, do you? Crush shouldn't be capitalized.

It is on a can of pop.

Yeah, the Indian food can be a bit of a hassle. The good thing is, like most foreign food in the US, it's made up of about 5 ingredients in different combinations. Kind of like Taco Bell. I likes me some Indian food, though. I've still yet to find better than Ambar on Ludlow in Cincy, but then again, Indian food is not a choice made often when I travel.

Good luck with NAG. I'm hoping we get past the acronym stage and on to name/photo stage.

"When I travel." Nice.

And your boy Dave turned me onto Ambar several years ago. A small group of us from Channel 5 went for lunch one day, and when the bus boy offered me more water, I acted like I was instead at Don Pablo's, and replied with a "si."

I have no idea what that means, Bruce, but I did tell him not to eat yellow snow.

NAG?? your gonna blow it. And please don't attribute Bevis's comment's to me. I would have said it's on a can of soda.

I think wise should post a foto of all his dates here so we can properly critique. I don't see why they would have a problem with that?

Yo wall, it's just one date. Relax dude. And I know that was your picture of the Crush sixer.

That prolly won't be happening any time soon. But did you see those pix of me and the mayor at the hotel?

Word. We need pics, otherwise this is just another shitty blog. Hello, YouTube. After all, porn isn't a bunch of words on a page.

I think it was "saag paneer," which I believe is a creamy mix of spinach and green peas. Or not. I know you hate spicy food dude, and I couldn't help but think of the ben stiller - jennifer aniston movie where he freaked out over the spicy food. Don't they have a TGI Friday's in NY? She seems like a classy enough chick..

TGI Friday's is weak, dude. You know Hard Rock Cafe is my spot. I love their jalapeno poppers and the No. 14 Combo.
