I've been to Outback Steakhouse, we have one a couple miles from where we live. No Rules - Just Right. The blooming onion is disgusting but you can get a good ribeye. Fries are OK too but taste best with a lotta ketchup. The last time I was there I didn't get a lemon wedge with my unsweetened ice tea and had to request one. Never did get a straw and forget about the extra napkins too. I didn't even get silverware but stole a set from another table along with the bottle of ketchup.
Eating out is always an adventure for me. Don't get me started on tonight's dinner at this weird Columbian restaurant. Pork chop was dry and the plantains were limp and sugary. Good rice though, each grain was separate and cooked to the proper degree of tenderness. Now, the unsweetened ice tea, very bizarre Columbian blend. Didn't need a lemon wedge, horrible taste. At least I got a straw this time. Should of ordered a glass of ice water instead like my wife and her daughter did. Only good thing about this dining disaster was that her daughter paid for the dinner and the tip. Her name is Melisa. Very smart and amusing. And single. She noticed that the guy that took our order had a wedding band and was somewhat disappointed. Perhaps she will have better luck when we do Mexican.[/QUOTE
