Eating out: Your favorite place!

[Karen]

Any place that has ingredient information available, so I know I won't get sick from my food.

As far as chains go, Pizzeria Uno is good, as is PF Chang's. Uno's has their entire menu online with ingredient lists as well as nutritional info, and PF Chang's actually has the staff trained to ask, before you order, if anyone in the party has food allergies they need to be aware of.

My food allergies really limit what restaurants I can enjoy.

Ok had to bring in my second favorite...Cracker Barrel! Espeically in the winter when they have the fireplace going. They have the most amazing bacon, thick cut...YUUUUMMMMMM!!!!!!!

During the winter they also have coca cola cake - it's YUMMMMMY!
Their breakfast sausage patties are really good too.

Monday nights are fried pork chops; Saturday is a yummy chicken & rice.
I miss Cracker Barrel.

How did I forget PF Chang's? I love it!! Best wonton soup in the world. The lettuce wraps are delicious. My favorite entree is the Schezuan shrimp.

Oh Gawd..what I wouldn't do for some yummy Mexican, Turkish, Persian food. Some of each or all together at this point. My ugly ulcer has stopped me from eating almost anything (haven't tried paper yet ). Had a pepperoni pizza the other day because I have no control and was feeling terrific. That ended dramatically of course but it was tasty on the way down!

I have no chain favorites, I love pub food, junk food, I'm not picky. Nothing like a full belly, good company and a fun meal.

Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry..............
my kingdom for a chocolate brownie......

I don't like to eat out much, I would rather buy a great steak and throw it on the grill, I am sort of phobic about what goes on with my food that I cant' see

DIDO!
I'm a terrible person to take out and eat,I check my silverwear and if its dirty i will send it back,And if there is anything funny looking on my dish ill send it back,But i do not re order..Id just be setting myself up.

I think my biggest problem is seeing those TV shows on what happens in a kitchen.

Not to mention i got food poisoning after ordering a chicken dish.I was really sick i dont ever order chicken buy chance im out.I Love cooking,and love home cooked meals.Its so much cheaper to make what you want at home,and gives you a variety instead of having the same things over again.

I LOVE pub type food best - the sort of things Guy Fieri reports about on the show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. We have a local pub called Tickets that has sandwiches to crave!! My favorite is a gyro piled with the shredded spiced lamb, cucumber sauce and onions. Oh yes and battered spicy fries.

For a nicer type restaurant, my favorite is called Abuelos which is a Mexican homestyle restaurant.

The place we go most often is a good ole Bob Evans!!

I will say some of the food makes you drool on that show,I always have a snack ready when that show comes on,Great Ideas on some shows.

I love eating out. I'm not sure what it is, because both my mother and my step-mother cook very well and restaurant quality meals so whichever house I'm at I get something good. I guess I crave the junky food I don't get at home.

I'm rather fond of high class establishments like McDonald's and KFC. Hey, I'm cheap! Basically I like diner food and the type of stuff you'd find at a Machine Shed the best, but having been born to a waitress at a small Korean restaurant (with added Sushi bar, oddly enough) gave me a taste for that sort of stuff. I also enjoy stuff like Jimmy John's and Subway.

When I was in Wales I ate a lot of chips and pies from the local chippie since I didn't have too much choice if the Gregg's was closed and I grew fond of those as well.

Heck, I guess the only thing I'm not too keen on is fried fish!

Well it won't mean much to anyone here me being from down under, but i am not one to eat out much, and mainly i like cafes, i love a place here we call THE LILY PAD, it is out in the country, has a great ambience to it, you sit in a area with grape vines above you, and in the winter a roaring fire going, the food it great too, and the grounds have these wonderful tin sculptures and a craft shop which you can buy, there is even a herb garden and small place for children to play, as you enter there is of course a small lily pond,we might go there on Friday for my hubby's birthday.

Suki Wingy you made me laugh, i too am fond of those establishments, well not KFC anymore, but i enjoy Maccas and Burger King and Subway, hubby cannot complain that i am not cheap to wine and dine lol.

Being in assisted living, we don't go outside for food very often. However we can sign up for an outside activity and enjoy getting out every once in a while. A couple of days ago I went on a lunch outing to Red Lobster. I absloutely enjoyed a lobster PIZZA! Red Lobster has a great menu and great food!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I just wanted to add that if I go out to eat for breakfast,which is very rare, I love going to Hobee's. I love their cinnamon orange tea and their blueberry coffeecake is the best and they give you a huge piece of it. Yum!!! Here's the link: http://www.hobees.com/index.html.

Ooh I forgot about breakfast! I loooove this place called Egg Harbor that does only breakfast and lunch and also Perkins is a good place for pancakes. That's another thing, when I was in Wales the people I was staying with found it funny that we'd consider waffles and pancakes breakfast since they're so sweet and bready like a dessert.

Suki Wingy you made me laugh, i too am fond of those establishments, well not KFC anymore, but i enjoy Maccas and Burger King and Subway, hubby cannot complain that i am not cheap to wine and dine lol.

I know Carole, whichever man gets me is going to love how laid back I am at that sort of thing. Although knowing me I'd find the sort of person who's really particular about stuff and has to have everything a certain way when I just want some taters and fried chicken!

Okay, maybe I missed something here,, but what Marigold posted, I THOUGHT, was pretty funny. All you can eat...GET IT???? ALL YOU CAN EAT!!! I love all you can eat places. You stuff yourself with all kinds of different foods.

I also love Mexican food. The hotter the better.

Marigold,

For the record, I am NOT of the majority here. I just guess you had to be there. *sigh*

About twice a year I do the naughty. I go to Mc Donalds & order a fish sandwich, small order of fries, & a chocolate shake. My husband thinks I am nuts when he asks me where would you like to go out & eat & I say Mc Donalds. He is thinking something more fancier. We eat out a couple times a month & otherwise I have to slop a meal together at home. Ugh! After 41 years of marriage cooking really gets old but we should be glad we have food to eat where in other countries people are starving.

[happylabs]

lol- not for sure why its in dog house either
My favorite place changes so much.
I LOVE crab legs and sushi - but haven't had crab legs forever.
I love Olive Garden Soup and salad and their Zuppa Toscano soup and mussels.
gonna have to think some more.

Just went to Olive Garden last night and got the soup/salad. The Zuppa Toscano soup was AWESOME! I am going to try to make it this week.

Also, we have a Mexican Restaurant near me, Abrana Marie's. All homemade from scratch and the food is top notch! If you ever get to Williamsport, Pennsylvania I highly recommend it.

I love to eat out but we don't do it too often anymore, just because it gets expensive. My favorite place is called Watercourse Foods, which is a vegetarian restaurant in Denver. We also really like a breakfast place called Dozens near us. They have great omelets and home made muffins! Oh yeah, and I also like just about any mexican restaurant as long as they have vegetarian options!

I also like some chain restaurants. I like the veggie burgers and fries at Village Inn, and I like going to Panera Bread for coffee and pastries.
