An Introduction!

Greetings and Salutations fellow Sushi and BBQ lovers. Thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog. I will be posting A LOT, I will WARN YOU, I am sometimes Loud, Obnoxious & Brutally Honest...if your food rocks but your service sucks, I will praise the kitchen staff and blast your wait staff, i will also try and throw in some of my twisted whit and humor as well. so please check back often.

I feel i should introduce myself properly and give you some credentials before I just start making random post and giving out scores on how I rate both Sushi & BBQ joints. I am Deldon Krueger or on the BBQ Circuit I am known as Uncle Tykie, I am an 8 time BBQ grand champion and have owned a BBQ concession shack and 2 BBQ Restaurants, and I am Lead Que Master of KCBS registered BBQ team of Uncle Tykie & the Mesquite-Oh's. I also was General Manager of Ginza Japanese Steak House and Sushi Bar in Indianapolis back in 2000 and have been a die-hard sushi lover for 20 years. I am currently not in the restaurant business but my career has me flying all over the United States twice a week and I recently moved to Atlanta, GA, I eat BBQ or Sushi at least 3 times a week while traveling and almost everyday I am home in Atlanta...still trying to get the lay of the land and locate as many good local joints as possible, unfortunately that is not going so well...lol

So please follow me and my adventure's across this great land as I discover the what good vittles America's Fine Eateries has to offer.

Review Part Deaux: Tucanos Brazilian Grill

Ok, so I decided the other night that I was going to go back to Tucanos in Colorado Springs, simply because I couldn't help but fall in love with the place.  I thought maybe Mr. Febus and I were a bit over the top with our opinions, and we tried everything on Thursday night and literally gorged ourselves to the point of near rupture...lol. So It was now Saturday night and Mr Febus flew out earlier in the afternoon and my flight didn't leave until the crack of dawn on Sunday, so I figured I got one more meal to eat in Colorado Springs....where is it gonna be at?...yeah i didn't have to think long at all...Tucanos it is. SO about 8:30 i headed across town to my new favorite spot in Colorado Springs, walked in and asked to be sat in Camila's section....there was a 15 minute wait, but that did not matter one bit. I was eventually seated and Camila seemed happy and glad to see me back and quickly went and brought me a surprise flavored lemonade (Strawberry Guava..AMAZING!). I have to say I had a game plan on this visit, on Thursday we sampled everything Tucanos had to offer, which is a feat to truly accomplish, but on this night, I was A) going to not gorge myself so as I could have dessert later and B)eat only my favorite selections of deliciously fire roasted meats. So that said, I believe Mike my meat deliver guy or whatever they call the guys with the giant skewers of meat came by and asked what I would like, I told him, BEEF and make it as Rare as possible...Oh and that Glazed Pineapple too, he chuckled and said, hey your the Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon guy from the other night aren't you?.."Yes Mike, yes I am..now go get me some meat", I laughed. So that said, Mike ran back and forth a dozen or so times with my favorite meat selections and I sat there quietly enjoying my feast. Camila stopped by to check on me every so often and brought me out a couple different flavors of the flavored lemonade concoctions that were truly heavenly.

This place really does set a standard that all restaurants should abide by, food quality is superb. price is MORE then affordable and the Customer service from the staff is Amazing!  So here is a trick, go there the first time and gorge yourself...lol try everything, then on future visits, you will know exactly what it is you want to eat...I could live on the Pineapple, Top Round and Bacon Wrapped Filet, just sayin!!! Anyway, I'm babbling now and have made it clear this is one of my favorite restaurants in the world, I would move to Colorado Springs just for Tucanos..lol, I know I am pathetic.  However If i do ever open another Restaurant of my own, I will fly back to Colorado Springs and hire Camila away from Tucanos...lol, fair warning has been served..hahahaha I love this place.

Eat Well My Friends,
Deldon
