That salad your wife had sounds delicious. Next time, tell her to order it, but tell the waiter to put half in a to-go container.

My mother had mentioned that it was noisy and crowded. When we were there I noticed the crowd, but not the noise--maybe our group was contributing a lot to that noise.<br /><br />Ellen -- I'll bet there's a Cheddar's not too far from you. You can check the restaurant locator on their websites.<br /><br />Lisa -- Wish you lots of success with your book.<br /><br />Carol -- I guess you must not be much of a steak lover? I was seeing Cheddar's all over the place in my travels during my holiday trip. Funny, I'd never noticed these before.<br /><br />Jane -- Good cheap eating.<br /><br />M Pax -- I get a craving for a good steak everytime I think about my Longhorn meal.Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-22930668581670690252011-01-12T10:30:33.083-08:002011-01-12T10:30:33.083-08:00No, been to neither.
