I think this turned out ok, none of us had dessert but I asked the Waitress if she could bring over the samples so that I could take a picture, she didn’t seem as miffed as I expected her to! This was the cheesecake, no idea how it was but I do know that I dont like BD’s Mongolian BBQ as much as I like Hu Hot or Flat Top Grill.
I went to the BD’s in Burnsville MN. Which isn’t far from the Mall of America. The selection of meats, and veggies were okay, not amazing, but nothing looked bad. But the sauces just didn’t meet my expectations! They also burned my noodles and other stir-fry veggies, which really made me sad! I might try the BD’s in madison sometime but when Hu Hot and Flat top are on my side of town it wouldn’t be my first choice in Mongolian BBQ!

While in Minneapolis I always seem to meet up with my friends at the Cheesecake Factory, the same one everytime. I never order cheesecake because it’s always so rich and just too much, but I needed to take a picture of something, so my boyfriend and I picked out the pretties one. It tasted pretty good too!
