We usually get along pretty well with our kids. One thing we did which caused shame and a loss of favor and/or respect with our children was when we (Kathy & I) went to Arby's for our anniversary. David and Keri associate anniverseries with wine, fancy menus, and flowers. "Arby's, you're kidding?" they cried. "No, we went to Arby's for our anniversary."
As a pair of teachers, Friday nights were our night to take the kids and go out for dinner-meaning fast food. They didn't appear to mind then-but an anniversary. Having sent both children to out-of-state colleges, having them come out debt-free, and each with a car, we dined in a lot of fast food resturants. Therefore, here is the neverbeforerevealed list of my favorite fast food restaurants:
1. Taco Bell in a runaway-crunch wrap with a senior citizen drink (read free). I order 5 double cheesy bean burritos ($0.89 per) to take home, freeze, and nuke whenever I need a Taco Bell fix. When Keri came back from New Zealand, the first thing she wanted was to stop at a Taco Bell. It's in the genes I tell you.
2. Quiznos subs-No onions, please-they don't make a bad sub.
Subway is a distant second
3. McDonalds-especially when they have McRibs; if not, a double cheese burger, hold the onions and a senior citizen drink (reduced price)
4. Pizza Hut-I go for the noon buffet with the senior discount and a glass of water to save on calories. Domino's again is a distant second.
5. Arby's-I like about half the items on the menu and I get a senior discount
6. Burger King-Whopper, hold the onions and light on the mayo and a senior drink.
Honorable mention
Frostys at Wendy's (with a senior discount)
Chipoltle's (Sp.)-the chicken burrito-no senior discount
Try asking for a senior discount at a fancy restaurant.
Question-why doesn't this site have a spellchecker?

It does have a spell check- I can show you this weekend. Although I don't think Chipotle would be part of their dictionary.
ReplyDeleteP.S. We've had home-cooked meals for our anniversary and birthdays this year. David's the true snob.
ReplyDeleteHey! I represent that comment. For our 2 year anniversary we went to a restaurant in New York where they only allow you to make reservations exactly 30 days before the night you want to dine. The phones open at 10:00 AM EST and all the tables are gone by 10:15. After 180 busy signals I finally got through for a 7:45 reservation... I suppose Arby's would be nice too.
