Do people take food safety this seriously? Y’all would be disgusted at my kitchen

The interned Japanese in the USA would also come home to find their possessions gone

I shudder to think how many calories I stuffed into my body and H’s body is in active revolt this morning. But we had SO MUCH FUN. Took 8.5 hours

Olive Garden was somehow the healthiest, best seasoned, best themed, best service, & cheapest all day. CPK had the worst food. Outback well drinks for $6.50 sign me up! Cooper’s wine is awful and no one seemed to like their food. CF was CF.

Sometimes as pedestrians, walking between chain restaurants, we had big trees over shaded sidewalks and paths. More often, there was construction and we had to walk in 10” grass. The mall loop was fun and I ran into some friends!

Cheesecake Factory cheesecake is still really good. But I also feel like I missed out on trying the stupid dessert options at all the other places

H’s first Blooming Onion! It was good, if small. There are so many copy cats and I prefer the copies over the original. H liked the original more. That Sam Adam’s summer is sooooo good

Coopers Hawk was also the busiest of the night. Their 4 bars were ALL 5 people deep. Fun atmosphere but awful product. They somehow eventised millenial grey wine mom aesthetic

Coopers Hawk was alcohol only. We did a flight of their red wines, truly bad wine. They are selling $5-8 bottles at $30 and selling you the pleasure to join a subscription. Please. Please. Support small wineries at the same cost!

CPK my cucumber mocktail add gin was beautifully balanced and tasty. H’s Sparkling mojito was passable but actively gross if sipped from the top. Our pizza was really bad, seemed engineered for cheese pull on internet optimization

Cheesecake Factory we got Tuna Nachos and the new meatball sliders. I loved the wonton wrappers on the tuna nachos but not enough toppings to make it actually feel like nachos. Meatball subs were realll bad. Best bread and alcohol of the day

Olive Garden was a big surprise. Our S, S & B was full of fiber and well seasoned. The breadsticks used fine grain salt which made them salty instead of salted. We could see ourselves going back all the time
