Handle has become a restaurant reviewer. This is very awesome for her writing career, but even more awesome for her friends because we get to go to dinner with her for free! Woo! I was lucky enough to be invited tonight along to a cool Japanese barbecue restaurant. We were given our food raw, and then we cooked it in a pot of boiling water that was heating on the table. Once the food was cooked we had two sauces to dip into - yum!
