1. Panera is the only one I'd eat at.
I can't believe you even mentioned Olive Garden in these here parts.

9. They seriously suck though.
I thought that since I hadn't eaten at one in years I was hyping up their suckiness in my mind, but nope I had them a couple weeks ago.

Sucktacular!

I had no choice in the matter though. I was at my organizer training and that's what they bought us for dinner that night. Christ! Even their breadsticks sucked.

2. for some reason i voted for Red Lobster
I am not exactly sure why. I've never been to a Red Lobster. But lobster sounds like a GREAT idea.

Instead, you should crash our book club and drink sangria with us! :bounce:

4. It's okay if there's no real places to get seafood around.
I think I couldn't live inland due to this. I like seafood too much.

8. I WISH I could!
I might have had I known sooner. I took the day off today so I could get ready for tomorrow's date with the knife.

I KNOW you'll have fun though.

:hug: :loveya:

10. did someone say sangria?
sigh. I have a recipe sitting in my kitchen and haven't got around to making any.

I want to attend your book club, we don't drink alcohol at mine! :)

7. Blame the lobsters' union for wanting better healthcare.
I've gathered they're boiling over the issue...

18. Thanks, and glad to be of service!

BTW, I didn't crack up the lobsters. The chefs got there first...

12. It's like a bakery/cafe chain.
http://www.panera.com/

They have baked goods (awesome breads), sandwiches, soups, salads.

It's really yummy to get one of their soups in the big bread bowl. Although, I've honestly never had anything I didn't like from them.

14. I could do for some Indian too...
Sadly, I asked my downstairs tenants out - and they said they don't swing that way. :cry: Of course, now I understand why they look at me so oddly... :7

19. OMG, Long John Silvers! I have a sick obsession with his chicken planks
I could eat those all day and night. When the local one opened up a few months ago, I told my wife that I wanted to buy a bucket of chicken planks and rub them all over my naked body because I was so happy that the LJS was only a few blocks away from the house. LoL.

I feel that way about the fish and the hush puppies. I wish I'd chosen LJS's

next time.

20. I decided to go to a Mexican Restaurant.
It wasn't nearly as good as I'd been told. :( I had the seafood chimichanga. A greasy tortilla that had been filled with only shrimp, no cheese sauce as advertised, beans and guacamole. I asked for cheese sauce and they tried to charge me 2.99 EXTRA for it. I politely explained that it was supposed to come with sauce etc etc, they removed the charge. I left a good tip because the service was excellent but I doubt I'll ever go back for their food.

shoulda just made something here at home.


thanks for the input Du'ers.
