Favourite Eateries

As I said in last week’s article, I love food! It seems logical this week to talk about the restaurants I like to frequent! While growing up, I went to many different food establishments. I have narrowed it down to five.  Here they are:

I love going to Kelsey’s restaurants because it is roomy and a quiet atmosphere and the staff are always friendly. When I go to Kelsey’s I always order the wing and rib combo. You always get a large portion of food where I usually end up taking the left overs home. Overall, it is a great place to eat!

I sometimes enjoy eating at East Side Mario’s. The first time I went there it felt like a fun and relaxing atmosphere. There is always music playing. When I go there I love to order pasta. ( I know as I write this you may be thinking what else would someone order at an Italian restaurant?). I love a restaurant that offers endless salad and garlic bread! Eastside Mario’s is known as the “Big Red Tomato”.  

The very first time I went to the King’s Buffet restaurant I thought that I had died and gone to heaven when I saw the huge buffet! There are two main reasons I like this restaurant: it has a large assortment of chinese food to choose from and their buffet is all you can eat.

I love going to Red Lobster for special occasions, especially birthdays. When I go there I usually order shrimp although I do enjoy eating lobster.Every meal comes with salad and garlic buns.

Although there are many hamburger establishments I enjoy eating from Harvey’s – the only place that allows you to personalize your burger (and it’s Canadian too!). When I was in college, I ate there quite frequently.

 Let me know what your favourite restaurants are!

 

My Favourite Foods

When I was deciding to write another article for my blog food came to mind. We all have favourite things to do and eat. I thought it might be interesting to share my top food pics with you and I’d love to hear yours!

It shouldn’t be surprising that chocolate is at the top of my list! (considering it is the heart of my business) When I was growing up, I loved eating chocolate and I must confess it was not the healthy kind, but it was good! I still love eating chocolate, but I can say honestly it is good for me!

 I remember when I was 13 years old cold pizza was fast becoming one of my favourite foods…for breakfast! As I have gotten older, the urge for eating pizza for breakfast has dwindled away. Now, I enjoy hot pizza for dinner or a snack. One of items that I like on pizza is pineapple, which I rarely have an opportunity to enjoy.  The reason is not many like pineapple on their pizza, so the items that I get on my pizza are pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, extra cheese, and sometimes onion.

 

I love going to Chinese food buffets! So much food – so little time! I enjoy eating sweet & sour chicken balls, pork fried rice, sweet & sour shrimp, and sweet & sour boneless pork spare ribs; and my all-time favourite item is almond soo guy.

I remember when Taco Bell came to town – the first time I ever had Mexican food and it was spicy! Three kinds of Mexican food that I like eating are tacos, burritos and nachos. Of the two types of tacos, I prefer eating soft shell as opposed to the traditional hard shell – they aren’t quite so messy!

Spaghetti was the first pasta I ever had – in fact before it was even called pasta! (Have I dated myself?)  One of my favourite pasta dishes is angel hair pasta cooked in garlic oil with shrimp. The Olive Garden Restaurant gave me my first introduction to this wonderful dish. Although the Olive Garden is no longer in Canada, I have fond memories of enjoying many great times with family and friends.

I’d love to hear your favourites and any experiences you have had with great food!
