Heyo… well I tend to eat at the same run of the mill restaurants day in and day out. Pizza Plant, Montanas, Jade, Outback, Roadhouse, blah blah blah. Nothing too crazy, nothing new. Same plates everytime I go. The girlfriend comes in this weekend and I was trying to think of some good places for a meal with my family and then a night when we just go out. We’ll eat ANYTHING as we did over the summer in NYC. Anyone care to offer up some ideas? ---
