After dropping off my bags in his downtown San Jose apartment and donning my bullet-proof vest, we walked a couple of blocks to E & O Trading Company. This is a restaurant that is billed as a Southeast fusion restaurant. Whatever that means... to me, it means the people behind the restaurant couldn't commit to one cuisine. It might be a little asinine to go to a fusion Asian restaurant in an area with fantastic AUTHENTIC Vietnamese, Indian, Korean, Chinese, Mexican and so forth restaurants. However, this restaurant was close and it's definitely better than the P.F. Chang's around the corner from the apartment. The downtown yuppies must love this restaurant because it is completely packed with diners and they seemed to be for the most part enjoying themselves. I digress, onto the food!
