A Woo Woo and some yamagobo

Sometimes when I'm out at a restaurant, I'll order things because the name entertains me. Well, last night was one of those nights. John and I went out to Kona Grill for dinner. It had been a long week so we had two expensive dinners out this weekend. We had originally hoped that we'd hit Kona's reverse happy hour which includes half price pizzas and sushi. However, we were informed that we were actually an hour early and the reverse happy hour was limited to customers sitting in the bar rather than the dining area. Oh well. We still had a nice time. But, back to the menu. The last time I was there, I noticed a drink called the Woo Woo and last night I was feeling especially adventurous, so I ordered one. It had peach schnapps, cranberry juice, sprite and something else in it. It was very girly, but highly enjoyable. John and I also decided to try a sushi roll with something called yamagobo in it. Sadly, we weren't a fan of the sushi. The yamagobo (which I learned today is the root of a burdock plant which is in the thistle family) was rather crunchy. It didn't mesh well with the generally softer consistency of the rest of the sushi roll. We don't plan on ordering that again. However, it was fun to try something new.
