Went to a place to eat for lunch today. It was supposed to be a steakhouse/BBQ place. We had been there a few times in the past only to be disappointed in what we had got. However, they did had a decent hamburger and that was why we went there today. Well, I got to looking at the menu and decided to try something else. I basically was kicking myself for ordering something other than the burger. My wife went with a salad with steak slices in it. I had ordered a steak quesadilla with a side of beans. The quesadilla was supposed to have rib eye steak in it but it was very greasy and the meat almost burnt. The wife had gone and gotten some garlic bread to go with her salad and a I ate a couple of pieces of that. When we left, she asked how my meal was and that was when I told her, Well, the garlic bread was good. Come to think of it, that was what I had said the last time we ate there LOL. Small town, so little choices of places to eat......(it is what it is and it ain't what it ain't)

We have an Outback nearby, and has yet to put a smile on my face. I’ve only been there three times, but each time it was a big disappointment. Mama likes it, so she goes there with her lady friends. All they really care about is that they didn’t have to cook that night...I don’t blame them after all the years of cooking for kids that say..."Ewww...what’s that?" or "I don’t want that. Can I have something else?"

Chain restaurants rarely impress me, but we’re fortunate to have a lot of Mom n Pop places that make simple, good comfort food. I love to cook and do most of the cooking at home, but when we go out, we usually end up at one of the home cooking places.

My home cooking...cabbage & noodles

It is bad when your main course stinks and the bread is the best part of it. Some of the best food I've eaten has come from Mom & Pop restaurants and "Greasy Spoon" type. Have have some of my best meals in the places that look like old railroad cars with extensions added to them. Tommy, you know it's bad when you go to the home of the Whopper just to grab a salad because it is the best thing on the menu!

I’m a bread baker for the past 9 years, and the steak houses that bring you a "fresh loaf of hot bread" to have with your meal, have never taken a culinary class in bread. You NEVER cut a loaf of bread when it is hot, because it lets out all of the internal steam before it can gelatinize the crumb. As soon as the loaf is cut, it collapses and turns into a gummy mess. Bread is ready to cut when it’s internal temperature reaches room temperature, which is between 2-3 hours on a raised cooling rack. Basically, they turn good bread into trash can goo. Yet another reason to avoid steak houses, because every one of them does this. Collective ignorance!
