Jasa Kabob opened today in the former Py space with delicious grill smoke wafting out the front window. I picked up a take-out menu. Some nice looking dishes. Chicken, lamb and beef kabobs, curries, chicken and beef tikka, samosas, a few flavors of naan (one stuffed with ground beef, another with marinated potato) and daily meat and vegetarian specials for seven bucks and change.It’s a bigger menu than you’d expect for such a small space. The website isn’t live yet but it’ll be at jasakabob.com when it’s ready to go.
Most of the menu is between $8-$12. I’m planning on going tonight for a test drive. I’ll report back.

You’ll be missed little buddy.

I saw this banner ad for Microsoft’s Bing on Chow.com.
It asked for my zodiac sign. So I entered “Cancer” and hit the little magnifying glass.
It popped up a window with the search results in Bing.
But it gave me cancer cancer. Not horoscope cancer.
Google 1, Bing 0.
