Simple question. Just simply name the last 5 restaurants you've eaten at.
Dont mention one five times if you frequent it the most, but the last five different places you've dined.

In fact let's qualify it.

Last five "sit down" restaurants you've eaten at.
(places where there is table service)

Last 4 non sit down places
(no table service, or you frequented the drive through)

If you had some amazing meal or something that stuck out to you about a place feel free to menton it.

Skyline

Marina Diner on Clearwater Beach

OK, I'll go first.

Let's see.

Max and Ermas
Behle Street Cafe
Smokey Bones
Trio/ Embers (have eaten at both relatively recently and they are owned by the same people)
Willies in Kenwood (watching Bears vs Lions game had a chicken sammi at the bar, not too many places show all the games but they do)

Drive through
Skyline
Burger King
McDonalds
Frisch's (tough call since they also have table service inside they fall in betwen)

I'm not counting the places I tried at Oktoberfest since that would be the standing up balancing a [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img] at the same time category. LOL!

I eat fast food and I eat food fast. I find it very difficult eating dinner with anyone else anymore. I'm finished and ready to go and whoever I'm eating with is still sitting there with 3/4 of their food uneaten. 10 minutes is about all I need even for a large meal.

I usually get salads when I go for fast food, although I do still get the burgers sometimes.

Havent done the fried chicken for a while (I like their honey BBQ sammi's!)

Since I too dine alone a lot I tend to eat at the bar at many places. Since most bars are smoking (I'm a non smoker) it does sometimes get me to finish and go a little quicker if it's really smokey. But, since I sit in an area where smoking is allowed, I do deal with it and understand that the other people sitting there may very well be smoking.

I've been to a great Mexican place here twice in the last week.

As far as fast food goes, I've taken the kids through the drive thru a couple of times at BK and McD's but I haven't gotten food for myself. I have had a hankerin' for KFC, though.

Amol India (chicken tikka masala...yum)

Carol's (overpriced, mediocre food)

LaRosa's (a most overrated restaurant)

LaMexicana (Monmouth Street, Newport. Big Ass Burritos served by people who don't speak our language. Waitresses have little or no idea what you're saying. Clientele usually most or all hispanic. My favorite dive.)

Habanero. (Because I like to support the local independent.)

Dixie Chili (Oddly, I usually eat a turkey sandwich there)

Anchor Grill (Pike Street, Covington. A dive that serves so unhealthy but wonderful goetta omelettes. Not a place for nonsmokers or clean freaks.)

Place I want to visit: Slim's. I've been craving the food, but no longer go now that they are not open at lunch. They also do a Cuban thing on Sunday morning/early afternoon, lechon asado. I'm also craving Dewey's Edgar Allen Poe pizza.

Havent done it in a while, but I used to go to larosas on Mondays and/or tuesdays for "Sketti Night"

All you can eat spagghetti for like $5.00 (meatballs extra doesnt include drinks of course)

Quite a bargain, and pretty good "Sketti"

It's either $5.29 or $5.49. Either way, there's a line out the door and boatload of gray-haireds asking for a carton for leftovers they were "unable to eat." Or so I'm told.

Actually, I may have made a mistake on mine.

I think there was a trip to Bob Evans in there somewhere.

(I'm not counting bakery trips and the like)

There is a "family restaurant" in Western Hills called Julie Marie's. It isn't a fancy place BUT they serve delicious food. And they have a variety of sugar free desserts that will melt in your mouth. Mr. Sluggo and I go there quite often. It was opened a couple of years ago in order to make the owners' daughter financially secure. It was also named for the daughter (she is mentally challenged and loves Elvis Presley. I believe that she is adult age and she is very friendly and, if you are ever over of the west side of town you may want to check it out. The food is very good and you will be helping a handicapped person. I don't know about you but I am a sucker for the handicapped.

On behalf of the P/C committee I have to caution you Sluggo "we" don't say "handicapped" anymore. It's either Mentally or Physically Challenged.

Say it wrong again and I will lobby to have you banned.

I MADE A MISTAKE!!!!!, GL.

At least I said "mentally challenged" the first time. And I apoligize for NOT saying the second but I plead forgetfulness! I AM OLD!!!!!!!!!! And, as such, you should have more respect for me.

If you are not more careful, I'll unadopt you!!!!!!!!!! [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]

But un-adopting me means I get to lose JDF too so there is a silver lining I suppose. [img]wink.gif[/img]

By way of apology expect some really pretty shells in the mail by Monday.

I noticed the omission, but didn't want to say anything. Don't let it happen again.
