    Default Do you have a favorite eatery you go to on a schedule?

    Sure, variety is the spice of life when it comes to eating. On the other hand, lots of people like to have a dependable schedule, and dependable good food.

    For instance, I have friends, a couple, who eat dinner at the same sushi place in their neighborhood one weekend night, nearly every weekend. It's part of their routine, their life.

    Do you have a go-to breakfast, lunch or dinner place? Do you go there daily, weekly, monthly?

    No way. I go eat where I want to when I want to. It would drive me nuts to be like "Ok, it's Tuesday, TGIFriday night!!!!!!!!!!" No schedule.

    No but I'd love to! I really enjoy rituals and routines, and if we had a place where the food and atmosphere was great and everyone knew our name, it would make me really happy. We used to always get breakfast tacos at the same place every weekend and they know and love my Hubby, but we're trying to cut down on breakfast tacos () so haven't been by there in awhile.

    I have places I go to at least once a week. A couple of them, in fact. But no places for specific days or anything.

    The main two I can think of are a thai restaurant and a chinese restaurant--both very local, small, down-to-earth places. I can't imagine not having them near me.

    I eat at this Tex-Mex place called The Iron Horse on nearly a weekly basis. There's about six or seven different dishes I order. They use the freshest ingredients and make stuff spicy, even more spicy than normal for Portland (heh). Their pico de gallo is made with avocados and is yummy. Their lemon-garlic chicken tacos are delicious. Their chile verde is cheesy good...

    Dammit, CE! Why are you always posting about food? Now I'm hungry and I've got to work!

    Sunday, do you like Cajun food? There's another favorite restaurant of mine called Montage. They have the best jambalaya - and by best, I mean the closest to what I got in New Orleans. They also have alligator on the menu, and not the 'gator sausage that I had on my pizza yesterday.

    Montage is also known for their varieties of mac and cheese - spicy mac, old mac, pesto mac... Yum.

    And they're open past closing time on the weekend. Bars stop serving at 2:30a, and Montage is open until 4. It's a great post-drinkin'-and-clubbin' place. Their new bar is called "Le Merde". Heh.

    When can you get here, Sunday? Bring all your friends!

    my husband and i eat at a local family owned Italian restaurant. We always sit at the bar and everyone knows us by name. They are the sweetest people and the food never fails to be fantastic. We eat there at least once sometimes twice a week. N often has friends or clients meet us there as well, no one has ever left disappointed. The restaurant is actually about 3 minutes from the hospital i am delivering at and i bet my husband will be getting take out while i'm in labor
    Going there is kinda like having your mom cook for you, its comforting and comfortable.

    I used to have one... Wang's Mandarin House in East Memphis. Every Saturday my then-husband would work, and I would have lunch at Wang's and then go to a movie. We got Wang's delivery all the time too. Everyone at Wang's knew my name and knew what I would want to eat. I loved it. Great place... some asshole opened a P. F. Chang's right next door and I was worried about Wang's for awhile, but they're still going strong, which says something for their quality.

    I used to head out the door yelling, "I need Wang's in my mouth right now!"

    On my days off, sometimes I stay in and order food. It's usually from the same one or two places and I usually get the same stuff.

    Not a unique place by any means but I eat at Subway every day, twice. It's the only thing I eat. My boyfriend just got a job there before he starts another job but Subway does have it's perks. We BOTH get free anything there.

    Honestly I'm thinking about picking up a job there like 8 hours a week (yes it's possible) merely to cut out food expenses.

    Before that it was this place called Magnolia Cafe and I gained like 20 pounds eating there every other day. It was so damn good though!

    We used to go to brunch at a little place around the corner every Sunday,but we stopped after a guy was shot in the Subway next door. That was a year ago and we are just starting to think about going again

    We'd prefer a nice sunday brunch buffet with mimosas and all,but cant find any here that arent insanely expensive

    Would my kitchen count? I hardly ever eat at restaurants unless it is a special occasion (too expensive with a teenaged boy in the house, otherwise). But when I'm traveling I try to find a Cracker Barrel. There isn't one in my state, so when I'm in the general vicinity of a Cracker Barrel, I'll make a point of stopping (I'll even skip a meal if I know I'm going to be close to a Cracker Barrel. Sort of building up an appetite).

    I have routines that I keep at home. I make big meals on Sundays and Mondays, and make easier meals on the weekends.

    I do. I've been doing a weekly brunch at the same place for years.

    A couple of years ago, I was doing an open house brunch every Sunday at my house. It was fun. Conceptually, however, I wanted new and different people to show up (and bring food). Unfortunately, it devolved into the same guest list every damn Sunday; I got bored, and killed it. Might bring it back this year when the weather improves.

    We don't *go* there, but the office orders from the same Chinese place every Friday like clockworks. When I was out of the office when boy's mom died, they were at a loss as to what to do because even though they all ordered every week, I'm the one who actually phones it in. Luckily, the lady recognized our number on the caller ID and took care of everything.

    Would you believe it, my favourite place for lunch weekdays is my favourite strip club. I go twice a week...the steak is perfect every time. Today I had linguine with a great marinara sauce and mussels, garlic bread. It was fantastic...and heres the cool part: they flip a coin and if you call it right it's free! I win half the time (go figure). More money for dances

    Anytime I'm out of town for more a week or so, I go to a nice italian place (usually the same one) as soon as I get back. I don't know why...

    Also, if I'm in town, I take my GF to the same restaraunt we went to on our first "serious" date on the 16th of every month which is the same day we went the first time. It's cheesy and expensive, but she loves it...

    Several years ago, I dated this guy and we went to the same restaurant every Tuesday night for months. We sat in the same table, ordered the same thing every week. He would even sit across from me until our food came and then slide over next to me to eat. The hostess, servers and management knew us and treated us like VIPs! Afterwards, we'd go to the movies. It was such a great routine and I have very fond memories of that time.

    My ex husband, older daughter and I used to go out for breakfast every Sunday morning at the same place. I'd get the Sunday paper and skim through it while they colored on their place mats. Those were some more good memories.

    When I lived at my last apartment in SF, I would go to Sushi Rock several times a week. It was right down the block from my apartment. I still get stellar service when I go in there, and they still regard me as a regular. A bonus is that it's right next door to the best place for a mani/pedi!

    Nowadays, I've been eating at home most of the time, though I would like to establish maybe a Sunday breakfast routine or something...we just live so far from everything that it's hard to get the motivation to get up and go!

    The grandparents come up everyweekend still, and they like one place, its a new-old stylle diner. They like it there, so we go there every Saturday for lunch, and the fight for the bill afterwards as well.

    Otherwise I usually just cook..easier, quicker, healthier.

    Every time I go home I go to Samurai Sushi in Turlock, CA. The owner is a sweetheart and a friend of friends.

    Last time I was there I got blasted on Sapphoro because I was stressing out about something. LOL They serve huge Sapphoro bottles.

    I go to Bentley's House of Coffee and Tea everyday (7 years). The serve great food there as well. The owner is always there during the day on the weekdays and her employees stay forever (like 18 years!). The owner treats me like a daughter when I am there. I leave Tucson a lot, and of course I let her know. She always tells me that I need to get her a replacement customer when I leave. She has loads of regulars, the place is always busy. I love it that way, I want to know that it will be around forever. It is my happy place.
    I saw the owner at Trader Joes once. She was like what are you doing here? I feed you!

    i forgot about 1 more.
    I realize we eat out a lot lol
    Every Friday and Saturday my husband works at his other store, his employee meets us at our house and we ALWAYS go out for lunch fridays and breakfast saturdays at the same little restaurant half way from home and the store. I drive in my car and meet them there then they go to work and i go do whatever.
    The restaurant isn't anything to write home about but i go for the free meal and extra time with hubby
    All the ladies that work there love us and get excited when we come in.
