try a new restaurant every month

Mom and I went to a great little family restaurant named Samantha’s that serves breakfast all day, wraps, homemade soup and rice pudding with or without raisins. Yum! We’ll be back!

I did this every month for a year, so I decided that I could mark this complete.

We went to Myrtle Beach and we ate at about 5 different sea food restaurants. I don’t really remember any of the names, except for Bennetts and The Giant Crab. They were both buffets, and not too good, but its okay. August is my last month, and hopefully I will eat at a good one.

I would also like to start eating different kinds of food more often. I eat tons of Mexican and Thai food. I want to start eating Greek, Ethiopian and Indian more often, both out and at home.

While I want to incorporate new places into my repertoire at home, I will also “count” new places I try when I’m on the road. Though, if I travel enough, I will up my goal to twice per month.

A bunch of places in Minneapolis/ St. Paul

1. The Broadmoor- I know this is a hotel, but we ate at the Tavern, which was amazing! If you are ever in Colorado Springs, you have to go to this hotel, even if you don’t eat there. It is absolutely gorgeous!
2. Old Chicago- In Colorado Springs. Unfortunately there is not one near us. There pizza is probably the best I have ever had in my life.
3. The Mason Jar- Again in Colorado Springs. It was okay, but they only assigned one waitress for our entire group of 28, so it was kind of slow, and they didn’t give me my salad or biscuits.

I didn’t go anywhere new in May, other than eating at the specialty restaurants on our cruise, so I guess I’ll count that. But today, while I was in Athens, I ate at this German restaurant called Uncle Otto’s which is amazing!

Fatz- Stopped in Orangeburg, SC on the way to Charleston. It was okay, but not my favorite place ever.

Moes- It was pretty good. I will probably go back sometime, especially when they build one in my town.

Snapper Jacks in Folly Beach- I had the peel and eat shrimp, and cheese fries, which were delicious! I will definitely go back next time I’m at Folly Beach

Bubba Gump- Charleston, SC. It wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. I got an appetizer for my meal, which is normally enough, but it only had five little pieces of popcorn shrimp in it, which wasn’t enough to fill me up. I probably won’t go back.

But I went to Smoothie King. They just built one in our town and everyone was talking about how amazing it was. I went there, and it was pretty good, but not a daily thing like some people make it out to be. I can’t afford a 4+ dollar drink everyday. But I probably will go back, maybe once a month or so, and try different kinds of smoothies. I got the Strawberry X-treme one.
