365 Restaurants, 2 Kids, 1 Giant Fiasco
The experience
Our initial plan was to head to Greek Isle so Ogre could redeem himself somewhat for the Mediterranean Cafe and Bakery fiasco the other day. His other idea was to have sushi. When we arrived at the restaurant, he was surprised to find that Nakamoto was right next door, a sushi joint he had [...]
The experience
Today we headed out for lunch and I gave Ogre three options, he headed to Jason’s Deli, which was actually the last restaurant of choice, but would still do. We walked in and, once again, were lucky to beat the rush and ordered straight away. Benji was happy to stand with us as we [...]
The experience
Today was another day with Dr. Mom away at work. So me and the kids would be on our own. Mina said she wanted to try the place she saw the day before. I recalled she had noticed Grandy’s. Yep, that’s what she wanted to have. Hadn’t been there in eons, so what the [...]
The experience
Last night’s storm made for a later morning for me this morning and, thus, later getting home from rounding. I suggested we get a quick bite for lunch somewhere and Ogre did not want to waste a meal out so he turned it into our childsplate adventure for the day. We decided on La [...]
The experience
Today, I decided I was in the mood for pizza. It’s getting harder and harder to find a pizza joint we haven’t hit yet. Ogre must have spent an hour searching on line for somewhere relatively close for us to eat at. It was between this and another place that boasted “St. Louis style” [...]
The experience
Today, I decided I wanted some salad with ginger miso dressing. We had to think about where I could get that and not be a place we’ve already eaten. Initially, we were going to avoid going to a teppan restaurant, but in the end, decided it would be okay to do that despite the [...]
The experience
We do a lot of celebrating in April. Today is my and Ogre’s anniversary. So where does my loving husband take me out to eat? That Chinese place around the corner by the CVS. I was a little wary, but I haven’t had a strong opinion about eating out lately, so I said sure. [...]
The experience
Today we were against wrought with the decision of what to eat for dinner tonight. Nothing interesting came to mind and Ogre heard a Macaroni Grill commercial on the radio TWICE in arow and he must’ve taken it as a sign that we should here tonight. I wondered if we had already eaten here [...]
The experience
Well, we wanted to eat lunch for childsplate today and I suggested either Jason’s Deli or a place I thought was called Delicious and Fit. When Ogre googled it, Laura’s Bistro came up, which is a relatively new restaurant that took the spot of my beloved Great Outdoors. We decided we’d try that today [...]
The experience
Ogre had a meeting across town and Mina was not feeling well today, so I ended up leaving Mina at my parents’ house while Benji and I had a date out together. Benji (thankfully!) was in a super good mood and chatted and sang all the way to the restaurant. Ogre has now narrowed [...]
