And favorite restaurant
I think my idea of favorite restaurant has altered slightly since COVID
It’s more about the people and the experience of the meal rather than the actual location
In the past, my top favorites included
Olive Garden, I love the salad, and I love the cheese ravioli and black tie
Red Lobster, I love the salad, and I love shrimp scampi
Texas Roadhouse, I love the salad, and I love the chicken fried chicken (no gravy)
Today, it’s Dino Valley Restaurant, and no, it’s not because it’s a three-hour buffet
It’s the drive there
It’s the monkeys on the side of the road
It’s the people I love surrounding me
But I also love cooking
I have learned to make roghni naan at home, and I even bought a press
I love to make a roast for my family
Chicken and Noodles
The simple act of cheese, grapes, and crackers can be a feast
A picnic with the people you love can be a five-star dining experience if you allow it to be
So when you ask what’s my favorite restaurant, it changes day to day
For me, it’s the people I love sharing the food with me
