The Daily Dish Recipes

Well, I love to cook at home and preparing healthy meals for my family feels good, but sometimes I must splurge and eat a meal out. These are my favorite restaurants and what I order in no particular order.

Thirteen Favorite Restaurants and What I Order….

1. Mr. Goodcents: My favorite “fast food” restaurant. I love subs so much and Mr. Goodcents are so fresh and yummy and I actually crave them. I usually order a Centsable Sub with Provolone on white if I don’t care, wheat if I’m being a good girl. I always order it with pickles, black olives, spicy mustard, mayo, oregano, salt and pepper. If I am up to it I will sometimes ask for peppers, tomatoes and onion. But only sometimes.
2. Red Robin: We love to go to Red Robin when we do decide to eat out. Love the atmosphere and the burger-joint style. I typically order the 5-Alarm Burger but have more recently been mixing it up between that and the Royal Red Robin Burger.
3. O’Charleys:If they have a special cajun spiced salmon I get that, otherwise it is either the Cedar Planked Salmon or the Cajun Chicken Pasta. Always with rolls, salad and Cheese Wedges. I know, real healthy.
4. China Buffet: Unfortunately I cannot really tell you what I get because I always get a lot. I love this place, and it has four long double buffets and a dessert buffet. I think I have probably tried everything at least once. My favorite is this cheesy crab stuffthey have. Oh, and the Chinese Donuts. Yummy!
5. Rich and Charlies: This is a local Italian restaurant chain, and I always get the Fettucine Alfredo. The next time I go I will probably order something less fattening because I am trying to watch my diet, but regardless it is my typical dish of choice. Always with rolls and their delicious house salad.
6. Steak ‘N Shake: We don’t go too often but I love a Double Cheese Steakburger with those amazing french fries with cheese sauce. Sauce is always on the side.
7. Red Lobster: Alaskan King Crab legs baby! Oh so yummy!
8. Joey’s Seafood and Grill: My addiction here is the amazing Lobster and Seafood Roll. I crave that thing! I wish I could figure out how to duplicate that at home, because I’d probably make it a lot. Of course I am sure if I found out how many calories it had, I might not. LOL
9. Jimmy Johns Subs: This restaurant comes in second only to Mr. G’s (see #1) but they have gourmet subs and they are to die for. We go a lot on Monday nights when the step kids have dinner with their mother. My sub of choice is always the Beach club which is fresh baked turkey breast, provolone cheese, avocado spread, sliced cucumber, sprouts, lettuce, tomato, and mayo I am addicted to sprouts and need to get some for my homemade subs.
10. Travenas - A local restaurant specializing in Mediterannean cusine. It is always packed and they have live entertainment on the weekends. A great night out. I usually order the Cajun Seafood Pasta which is blackened tiger prawns with scallops, mushrooms, capers, roasted peppers, deglazed with vodka and lemon. Sometimes I will order the Gyro platter because well, I love them.
11. TGIFridays: We don’t frequent them much at all, but once upon a time they were my favorite. I used to get the Cajun Angels until they removed them from the menu a millions years ago (we actually stopped eating there at all for like 8 years after that.  Now my dish of choice is the Chipotle Grilled Steak Sandwich - but we don’t go very often.
12. Sonic: I rarely eat at Sonic but it is one of my favorites. I love their Super Sonic Cheeseburgers with tator tots. To be honest, I get different things each time. I love Ocean Water but will sometimes change it up with a diet coke or a watermelon slush.
13. China Moon: I love Chinese food, and I love this restaurant. I usually get Chicken Fried Rice, Crab Rangoon and Fried Dumplings. I also really like Garlic Chicken and some of the spicier beef dishes. We eat chinese a lot but since we discovered the buffet (see #4) we don’t go here as often. It’s still the best for take out.
