Ponzu - Waltham, MA permalink

Official rating: 84

Ponzu is a pretty cool place on Moody St. in Waltham that has an interesting mix of Japanese, Indian, Thai, and Malaysian dishes. It’s got a stylish modern interior, big sushi bar, and the staff is extra nice, as long as you use chopsticks. For lunch, I got the banana leaf dried curry beef, which was extremely tasty and tender. The hot ribs, however, were good, but not remotely hot. C’mon, Ponzu, step it up. For a relatively cheap lunch price, it was the best bang for the buck I’ve had in a long time. Definitely will be hitting it up again.

Top 5 Sex Scandals permalink

1. Clinton/Lewinsky
Ah, the impeachment, the dress, the cigar, Linda Tripp, Kenneth Starr, the definition of “sex”, and the whole fun circus of 1998. Ah, back when Presidents were cool. I miss those days.

2. Jim Bakker
When the man who Jerry Falwell called “the greatest scab and cancer on the face of Christianity in 2,000 years of church history” was accused of paying off a former secretary for raping her, his multi-million dollar show “Praise the Lord” came to a crashing halt.

3. Jimmy Swaggart
After being photographed with a prostitute at a motel, Swaggart was blackmailed and publicly busted. He famously cried like a little girl on national tv then fell into obscurity.

4. R. Kelly
Whether its waterworks, kiddie porn, or Gary Sheffield’s wife, the subjects of Kelly’s vast library have been publicly exposed - most famously by Dave Chappelle. Drip, drip, drip.

5. Kobe Bryant
The pretty boy of the NBA suddenly turned into a villain when he pulled the extremely common move of gettin’ jiggy with a fan. Wilt the Stilt did this 10,000 times, but no one cared. Don’t hate tha playa, hate tha game.
