ZZ100 UYE

Image
First of all, I am not affiliated with Yelp and I write reviews on Yelp for fun. Secondly, I don't ask for special treatment from businesses because I write reviews for fun. Third, I am a hard-core Elite Yelper. I always encourage Yelpers to write reviews. Now, let’s go to the featured presentation. Many ideas created this UYE . Since my ROTD (Review of the Day) on 2/11/2014, I have been a regular customer to Eatwell Bakery Cafe for my yogurt fix and remain in contact with the owner, Ziad. The more I talk to him, the more I like to feature Eatwell in my UYE choices. Ziad has a passion in promoting healthy gourmet with a Mediterranean twist. It was perfect timing to wrap up the challenge while Eatwell celebrates its anniversary in October. The UYE was named "Zoom Zoom 100 & Beyond" as a result from a Talk thread . This UYE was dedicated to the Yelpers who participated in the  2015 Yelp Challenge . I started the cyber event as a challenge to encourage my fellow Yel...

Yogurt to da Max

Image
When you want all-natural homemade yogurt, I have to brag about my discovery. But you have to be in Houston to enjoy it. There are many yogurts in supermarkets that contain lots of sugar and corn starch. Only few of them contain the active cultures or Lactobacillus Bulgaricus. However, they are too sweet for me. One day, I ran into a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that made my dream of eating real yogurt come true. Viola, I found Eatwell Bakery Cafe . I go to Eatwell almost monthly to fulfill my crave for enzymes. I buy the half-gallon container, which lasts about 4-6 weeks. This is far cheaper than White Mountain of Austin, which has additives and inconsistent flavors. According to the owner Ziad, Eatwell uses only the freshest milk from a local farm that meets his high standards. The flavor of its freshness is indescribable. Only the natural ingredients Mmm... you've got to sample it. When you go, mention Lou sent you. I eat 4-6 oz a day plain or with agave nectar. I...
