So what's your favorite place to eat?
at my house. :hypocrite:
"@ My house"
Haha :biglaugh:.
There is a place called 'Jumbo Super Buffet' & I am near addicted to it. Not only do their menu consist of sushi (eww!!), all kinds of sea-foods (i.E. stuffed crab shells, craw-fish, buttered trout, whole shrimp, crab lebs, shrimp & lobster alfredo, etc.), pastas, breads, ice creams, etc., but it is ONLY $11.00 per person & it's all-you-can-eat.
mmmmmmmm, I'm hungry, now. :(
hmmm, Anywhere downtown Bloomington, IN. *getting homesick!!!* Here, I like this nice chineese place called New Moon. Annie is so nice.. she's one of the owners. Ummm, Olice Garden is really good too. Oh, and muchas Gracias is ok, but I wanna explore some really good mexican around here!
Olice Garden....is that a cheap knock off of Olive Garden?
The Olive Garden is my all time favorite. If it wasn't 2 hours away, I think I'd be heading there right now. :-?
We have the cutest little Indian food place about 10 mins from where I live...and their food is outstanding! It's a family-run place. i love their lamb curry and their pakora saag (veggie fritters with spinach)! I think that's one of my favorite places to eat. We have a good Thai food place too.
and my house....we make really good food here.... :)
as far as chain restraunts go though....Macaroni Grill!!!
..or for something breakfast-y or quick I love Panera Breads.
Bojangles
Bojangles
Bojangles
Mac's Grill
Hibachi Grill
Hey!! Check it out!! Those are all in NC!! How convenient is that? :hypocrite:
and 2 of them are right here
Biaggi's and Rodizios.. :tantrum: I'd go to EITHER of the two ANYTIME but... because it is cheaper I will have to choose Biaggis
Don't know if it's a chain. I do know they have more than one store around here, but Anita's (Mexican food) It's great! Scott, if you come here, we'll take you there. No hair in the food. :laughhard:
Tidal Raves--on the Oregon coast
Toomie's--central Oregon
The Rhinelander--in Portland, Oregon
Notice a pattern? :biglaugh:

What is Bojangles?
I LOVE Sombrero...I went there tonight with Jason, Anna, and Kaleb. Its a local hole in the wall with the best salsa ever!
I like Outback, but we never go there.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Whataburger. But we dont have one of those either.
And Bennigains!! I love that too...and we dont have one of those... :(
I love Olive Garden. I also like The Panda (chinese), The Little Greek (duh!), Japanese Steakhouse (they cook on the grill right in front of you, expensive, but worth every penny), Johnny Carinos (sp? Italian, expensive, but worth every penny.)
I like a variety of food. So far I have tried Mexican, Italian, Greek, Chinese- love sushi, Japanese....umm, I think that's all. I wanna try Thai next. There's a new place near me that I've heard is awesome. I just don't really know what to order, so I'm kinda holding off. lol. Gonna have to get a menu and look it over.
Did I mention that I LOVE Bojangles? :hypocrite:

Would any of those be worth visiting when I'm in Oregon?
Or is that a silly question? ;)
As for favorite restaurants:
I had never gone to Spageddies until last year, but it's now one of my favorites! Not only is it a great atmosphere, but they have amazing lasagna, which I order every time! And the portions are so large that I can take half of it home for another meal. With the combination of great food, great service and amazing atmosphere - it makes my top five.
Pizza wise: I LOVE the old school Noble Roman's. When I was little, there was one in the area that served some of the best pizza I've ever had! I was quite sad when they closed. The new Noble Roman's style isn't nearly as good. My current pizza favorite is Pizza King. I don't know if that's an Indiana or Midwest thing, but they have a great thin crust style. Oh - I almost forgot! Mystic Pizza in Mystic, CT - Mm. That's good as well.
I tried Red Robin for the first time last year as well. I love their fries with campfire sauce! Hm, what else. Boston Market has the best corn bread, chicken tortilla soup and chocolate cake!
Well, I've successfully made myself hungry. :smirk2:

Hmmm Well I should be getting there about suppertime on Friday...hopefully, so we could go there for supper. Hibachi Grill I mean, and didnt Mom say on one of the threads that Bojangles has breakfast? We could hit there Saturday morning.... And Hibachi Grill? Is that the chinese place that Mom took yall to? Or whatever?
Mom, are we having REAL food at the reception? Or will I need to hit Whataburger on the way to Indy? ;)
Bojangles will serve any of their breakfast items any time of the day. I like their breakfast stuff the best!! :great:
Did I mention that I love Bojangles? :hypocrite:
While you are loving BoJangles, you wanna answer my question?
And why do you love it so much?

You'll need to go to Bojangles on the way to the reception and pick up some chicken biscuits and some gravy biscuits and get a little something for yourself also, and sneak mine to me before we eat. :laughhard:

He knows I love Bojangles. He's not jealous because he loves Bojangles also. I guess you could say we're both having an emotional affair with Bojangles. What a way to start off a marriage! :o At least we're both ok with our other loves. :grin:
Oh dear. :o
My favorite chicken place is Raising Cane's. SO good. I'm pretty sure there's crack in their special sauce, though. It's too addicting to be legal. ;)
:laughat:
BD's Mongolian Barbecue
Sonic
Maggiano's Little Italy
Panda Express
Giordano's, Gino's East (For some real-man pizza)
TGI Fridays
There's more I'm sure...those are the ones off the top of my head :D

Seriously, if at all possible, you simply must try the Rhinelander and Tidal Raves. They're both unique, special places, and have fabulous food. Toomie's is good for several reasons... it's yummy Thai food, and they have live jazz on Sunday nights.
and I've made some great memories there*smile*
:beret:
*cough*
;)
Jazz on SUNDAY NIGHTS?!!!? UNacceptable!!!!! :drillsergeant: :frownshake: :smugno:

My lands I thought it was DURING the altar call lol..
Well some churches I have attended have Jazz style music during the altar call... its kinda smooth if you ask me!
Cheddar's (american)
Macaroni Grill (italitan)
Taco Diner (mexican)
Benny Hannas (sp?) (japenese steakhouse)
Outback or Saltgrass Steakhouse (steakhouse)
Fast Food:
Boston Market
Chick-Fil-Ay!
McD
Chipotle
Panda Express

*whew* Thanks for stickin' up for me, Mel. Can't have Officer Tea thinking I'm skipping out on church. I'm only a partial heathen--I don't miss service, I just go listen to jazz after church is over. :P
:beret:
:thumbsup2:
Just tryin to help.
Did you really think she could get away with skipping church and going to a jazz concert, Tea? Maybe skip church, but not to attend concerts....she is a goldfish ya know. ;)
No joke. :roll:
They're pretty good to the goldfish really. :) ....most of the time. ;)

Yosemite and I have eaten at Fire Mountain Grill. OH MAN! We nearly killed ourselves!! Everything was grilled. The restaurant is owned by Ryans. We only have a Ryans in Tupelo. But we've seen Fire Mountain in places like Birmingham and larger cities. They claim its the same restaurant, but the food we had a Fire Mountain near Birmingham, Al. had this Ryans in Tupelo, Ms. beat! :pound:
The Old Country Buffet in Fairfax now has a grill. The grilled steaks are pretty good. All you can eat steak! Imagine that! and it's good!
I tend to prefer non-chain places...
The Good Earth
Seward Cafe
Trattoria Romana
etc... :)
I'll eat most any kind of food...it's really the who not the what. :yum:

Hmmm...that's a good question. I haven't heard of it before. If you find anything on it, let me know and I'll check it out the next time I visit. :)
Awww I thought you were around enough to find it. It was a 50's type thing but the kids working there wore rollerblades instead of regular skates. Kind of expensive but it was fun.
If I remember right, it's someplace near the Science Museum.

I Love OCB's!! They have one in Memphis. We nearly killed ourselves there too! haha Its just so much good stuff, there's no way my stomach can hold out long enough to try a little of everything my eyeballs wonder onto. <a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253Fpartner%253DZSzeb008%255FZKxdm021YYUS%2526i%253D4%252F4%255F11%255F8%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank">(http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_11_8.gif)

Been to Memphis. Didn't see that. It was a bad trip. Looked all over and couldn't find Sun studio. I ended up being sick on that trip so I didn't get to do much. I went out for a bit each day but got tired really fast. I started feeling better the day we flew home. *Snaps fingers*
Sun studio is easy to miss. Its just a little bitty hole in the wall in the midst of a bunch of other buildings. Its down there somewhere close to Union Avenue. A bunch of one way streets and stuff. I've passed it many times. Once you've seen it, you've saw it. If you know what I mean. Its like Elvis's Birthplace here in Tupelo. lol Once you've seen it, you've saw it. On to the next eposode.... lol

Well, I was walking, so one way streets didn't bother me. Stevebert had a convention at the Peabody, so I had all day to mess around. I got to see Beale Street. Glad they cleaned it up by the time I got there. LOL I found W.C. Handy's place. But I need to go back. Without the flu. LOL
Well if ya'll ever come back to Memphis, without the flu, And if Yosemite is around, we can come up there to Memphis. Maybe we can show you around the Pink Palace. lol Yosemite hasnt ever been in the pink palace either.
Real men aren't afraid of pink.

I think she is really pretty.

I have had some folks tell me that on occasion. To my knowledge there is only one of me! (Which is a very good thing, by the way) :)
Chellebelle, the Rhinelander serves German food, and the atmosphere is very fun. The waiters and waitresses run around in the old country style clothes, and when someone has a birthday they'll all come around with an accordion and sing a few songs. Sometimes they even do a little folk dance. :)

Where is this Rhinelander? I always wanted to try some German food.
