The Friday Five

1. What is your favorite restaurant and why? Mmmmmm, food. Let's see. I like Mongolian BBQ... I like Zingerman's Delicatessen, if that counts as a restaurant. I like Chili's. Generally I'm not a big fan of chains. I like to eat at lots of restaurants, so maybe my favorite is Whichever One I've Never Been To.

2. What fast food restaurant are you partial to? Subway is yummy. Local Ann Arbor fast food restaurant Y & S (yogurt and sandwiches) is lovely. I am also rather partial to Arby's ("I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's!"). I like Boston Market. I'm not such a fan of the traditional burger places.

3. What are your standards and rules for tipping? I usually calculate 20% (it's easier than 15%) and round up or down to the nearest even amount. I was a lot more generous when I was in high school and had money.

4. Do you usually order an appetizer and/or dessert? It really depends on how hungry I am, what the menu is like, and who I'm eating with. I can't eat an appetizer, an entrée and a dessert, but sometimes I can handle a combination of two. My sister is the Appetizer Queen - she wants an appetizer wherever we go and she has to pick it. So sometimes I'll share with her or sometimes I'll get an appetizer as my entrée and have dessert with that.

5. What do you usually order to drink at a restaurant? I am notoriously slow. I used to always automatically get a Coke-or-a-Pepsi but then I gave up soft drinks for a period of time and haven't really jumped back on the bandwagon. Sometimes I like juice if they have good kinds. Or specialty drinks, milkshakes, chocolate milk, or lemonade. Plus, since August I've hadd access to a whole new section of the drinks menu, so I peruse that when I'm not the one driving home. When the waitress comes I usually ask for a glass of water in order to stall and look at the menu and I order my drink when I order my meal.

I don't usually write this much for the Friday Five. Good questions! Now I'm hungry.
