Re: Off Topic 2014

I love Red Robin burgers.

There is one at the Mall of St.Matthew's in Louisville. So to encourage me to go shopping with her, my wife will treat me to Red Robin burger, unlimited fries, and a sundae.

I crave Red Robin burgers and onion rings. So good.

It's so easy to cook and better on your wallet in the long term (leftovers). We made a pretty decent chicken parm with Caesar salads last night... Took maybe 20 minutes. I could've bought a chicken parm frozen bag, and grudgingly ate it. I'll throw down the extra bucks to make enough for 2-3 meals and be happy with the quality.

I just dislike most frozen food. The one exception being pizza. Even then, doesn't hold a candle to picking up a fresh hot pie. Not even that convenient either!

Olive Garden (and all Durden restaurants for that matter) are all frozen food.

I've actually never had Red Robin, but there's supposed to be one coming to Baton Rouge pretty soon (if it hasn't already). What's it comparable to?

Red Robin unlimited fries are great. I just hate that they cut it back to giving you like 7 fries in the first place.

Re: Off Topic 2014

I like outback too but right across the street from our outback is Tahoe Joe's and given the choice I'd take that over outback. Best Rib Eye I ever had was a Tahoe Joes. But either one would work.

Do love me some red robin. Haven't been much since they closed the near us but those stack of onion rings? The best. I do believe it was the first place I had an egg thrown into the mix.

Yep, the royal red robin burger is the best because of that egg. I get that or the one with guac on it every time.

Red Robin just moved into the lead for lunch today.

Re: Off Topic 2014

You guys are on a roll this morning. Love it

One thing I dislike are parents that their carts filled with frozen food and entrees. I get that some just don't know how to cook but I preach to my staff the importance of fresh ingredients. Stay on the outside isles of the grocery store and you'll se a difference in your grocery bill and the health of your children.

The frozen food section is on the outside of the store here. Plus, how can you skip out on the International Foods section?

I loved me some Kid Cuisine in my younger years. All about that blue sherbert.

Re; Pizza? I don't hate on frozen pizza. Classic american staple. Red Baron or not. However, if I had a choice? I'd take the fresh 2 pack large for 5 dollars over any frozen pie.

I've grown fond of Pizza Hut's $10 and $20 box dinners. I'm so-so on the pizza depending on what recreational buzz I'm on, but the breadsticks are temptresses.

Growing up in a college town we didn't have many local restaurants to go to, but that's changed quite a bit over the past 10 years. Pretty good selection of food places to go to.

Yeah that's what I've come to learn. When I was younger I didn't really notice, but as I've gotten older and traveled and had real authentic meals, I just don't go to the Ruby Tuesdays, Applebees, type places anymore because most of it looks and tastes like something from the freezer section, especially the appetizers.

I remember when I used to think Velveeta and Kraft singles were cheese....

I was thinking the same thing!

Re: Off Topic 2014

Speaking of pizza, I had that Little Caeser's Pretzel Crust pizza this week. That crust was awesome. They did use some kind of Velveeta nacho cheese with the sauce that wasn't so hot, but the crust was awesome. Did not look like the commercial though. The crust was flat, not all big and round like from a soft pretzel stand.

We do venture into the isles for stuff like tapatio, quinoa, basmati, veggie-pasta, bread, oils, sprays, and disposables. But for the most part, like 80%, of our bill consists of Produce, Meat, Dairy, Booze. In that order around the perimeter of the grocery store.

If it doesn't melt it's not cheese.
