Fat Bao: Home to Steamed Dumplings and Avocado Fries

March 15, 2016 12:02 pm

Bulgogi might sound foreign to you, but in the Korean language, it's a fairly common term. It refers to a Korean style of grilled ribeye beef. You can try some at Fat Bao in Sugar Land, where chefs stuff the beef inside steamed Chinese dumplings known as bao.

The bulgogi bao also comes with kimchi, another Korean-born food, and green onions. For something more familiar, order the Crab Daddy dumpling; it's a customer favorite that comes packed with soft shell crab, Asian slaw, and spicy mayo. Pork belly, fried chicken, roasted duck, salmon, and tofu are among your other options for bao fillings. On the side, get a frosty beer (customers note that Fat Bao boats a good selection) or one of the other signature dishes, such as FAT fries. They're sprinkled with onions, cilantro, and either bulgogi or pork belly, and then served with "kimcheenaise" dip. The avocado chips pose a slightly healthier option, since they're simply slices of avocado breaded in panko.

5 Interesting Facts About Frank Sinatra

March 1, 2016 12:01 pm

Frank Sinatra’s voice made him quite possibly the most popular singer of the 20th century, delivering personal lyrics and irresistible melodies with command and flair. He was a tough guy with a softer side, and American audiences simply couldn’t get enough of Ol' Blue Eyes. Here are some of the most interesting facts about Frank Sinatra.

  1. Frank Sinatra was so inspired by Bing Crosby that he dropped out of high school to pursue singing as a career. He performed at local nightclubs in the Hoboken, New Jersey, area and even got some air time on the city’s radio stations.
  2. After noticing his local success, bandleader Tommy Dorsey invited Sinatra to join his band. Sinatra and Dorsey enjoyed two years of hit songs together, but eventually Sinatra quit to pursue a solo career.
  3. In just three short years between 1943 and 1946, Sinatra released 17 Top 10 singles.
  4. In addition to his incredible voice, Sinatra was also a talented actor. He made his film debut in 1943 with the movie Higher and Higher, and in 1953 he won an Oscar for From Here to Eternity.
  5. Though Sinatra was signed to Capitol Records for the beginning of his recording career, he left the label to start his own label, Reprise, in the late 1950s. Warner Bros. bought Reprise, and Sinatra then started his own film production company, Artanis.
