the friday five
1. What is your favorite restaurant and why? i have a favorite for each type of food. seafood: casco bay. chinese: house of tai pei. mexican: zapatas italian: guytanos i’m not a fan of chain restaraunts like olive garden, tgifriday’s & applebee’s. i’d much rather give my money to hard working local people than a corporation who happens to own restaraunts. plus i just think the food’s better when it’s not shipped from some centralized warehouse. now on occasion i will frequent a chain (see answer to #2) and we do like qdoba but it’s mostly for fast food. i try very hard to avoid the chains for dinner though.
2. What fast food restaurant are you partial to? jack in the box they’re just the best. i mean how can you beat a place that sells poppers & such good burgers?
3. What are your standards and rules for tipping? 20% unless horrible service. i respect wait staff like crazy. i know i could never do that job with my accident prone self!
4. Do you usually order an appetizer and/or dessert? appetizers….sometimes but desserts…not so much, unless it’s a special occasion.
5. What do you usually order to drink at a restaurant? sweet tea and sometimes a fun cocktail.
