Diddy

Last weekend we went to dinner with some friends at a restaurant I found on Yelp called Cafe Bizou. Al told me I was in charge of picking a restaurant because I'm "too picky", but personally I think that's a good thing. We arrived at Cafe Bizou which is sooo cute on the outside. Once we walked inside Kris who is from Florida immediately says are we in Boca Raton? I would say at least 75% of the people there had a good 40+ on us. Our waitress didn't really act like she was our waitress. She handed us a basket of cold stale bread which when I saw her 15min later I asked her if she could give us some warm bread. 10 minutes later she plopped a basket of toasted burnt bread on our table...lol I'm not really sure how warm bread=toasted burnt bread, but whatever. The end result was our food was ok and our service was awful. Lesson learned....don't always trust everything on Yelp even if the restaurant has 4 stars with 228 reviews and don't let your husband take a picture from this angle when you're 7 months pregnant.
We decided to make up for our dinner by going somewhere else for dessert. We decided on Diddy Riese in Westwood and fought the line that went around the block. If you are a faithful reader you have read about Diddy Riese in previous blogs. This place does not disappoint. The most important rule about Diddy Riese is to have your order ready. For some reason after I spend 30 minutes standing in line I always want to change my mind or forget what I'm going to order when it's my turn. You can't be selfish at Diddy Riese so if you mess up your order or forget something than "it is what it is." You could always stand in line again, but I don't really suggest that. The most popular item to order is their famous ice cream sandwiches. You get to choose from 10 different kinds of cookies (you can choose different ones for the top and bottom), and 12 different kinds of ice cream. They slap the biggest scoop of ice cream between the cookies and wha la only $1.50. I don't like how the ice cream makes the cookies cold (I'm weird and difficult I know) so I order a scoop of ice cream and cookies separately.Dessert totally made up for our awful dinner and we even scored these sweet seats right outside of Diddy Riese.
and here I am at 31 weeks. I can't believe I only have 9 more to go, so crazy!!
