sounds good, tastes bad.

Sometimes, dishes that might sound good taste bad in real life. For example, crab stuffed chicken sounds pretty good (and creative), but in real life, it tastes like a crab-stuffed-chicken, which makes no sense and tastes funny. Foul and seafood should never stuff one another. It’s counter to nature. Thankfully, I wasn’t the one that ordered it – I only tasted it. I went to dinner at Casa Manhattan last night with a couple friends, one of whom ordered the aforementioned peculiarity of a dish. My steak burrito was just fine, and the other friend’s stuffed chili relleno was good as well. The margaritas were strong and the prices were reasonable. Just avoid the crabby-chicken concoction.

After dinner, we headed to Café Agora. I liked it. It felt like Spiderhouse in Austin, albeit more spacious and with a larger selection of beers and wines. Oh yeah, and they also have belly dancing on Wednesday nights. I’m there.

not to be a pedant...but i believe it's "fowl" and seafood. though your distaste of the dish might have led to your misspelling, which is pretty funny.
