My problem with restaurants is twofold:
First I think I have eaten at too many of some of the best in America over
the years.
Second for the most part I am unimpressed with the menu the presentation and
of course the food.
If you live in Mexico for a period of time Mexican restaurants here are for
the most part garbage.
Chicago had the best Greek food
'NYC the best American/Italian & Steaks (well just about everything)
San Francisco the best cioppino
LA well LA - Hmmm Coleslaw from the Pantry & Dodger Dogs
Want Great Pork chops get thyself to Iowa
Want Great Sushi - Torrance California
I could go on and on
My problem now is simple 90% of the time I go to a restaurant I can do it
better at home.
In desperation the other day we stopped at a Marie Calendars for lunch - The
cornbread was hot - nuked dry and the ham stack was the leftover breakfast
ham slices. Oh yes it certainly wasn't stacked they should have changed the
name to a ham FLAT.
