Today I met up with my cousin and had lunch. (On a side note, it was fantastic to see said cousin, because otherwise the only time I see her is at Christmas. Although living in Waco puts me closer to many of my relatives I rarely get to see, it consequently puts me much further away from my hometown and my immediate family; bittersweet!!) Anyway...we ate at Cheddar's (located on Franklin Street). I loveeee the atmosphere of the restaurant. It labels itself as a "casual cafe" and definitely promotes a very laid back, and happy atmosphere. The lighting is dim and the restaurant sports a very fashionable fish tank separating the bar from the eating areas. The salads and soups are tasty, and all in all I had a wonderful afternoon with my cousin: good food, good company, good Friday!
Last week, I went with my friends to the IHOP right across from the Baylor campus. Although I really enjoy breakfast food, I did not enjoy walking into the building and directly seeing the kitchen out in the open, with everybody's food orders waiting to be served. I prefer to NOT see the cooks, or the food splayed out as soon as I walk into a restaurant. A little more discretion in the construction of the building would have been appreciated. (After all, this is IHOP....not a southern diner) Other than that minor setback, the food was delicious, my personal favorite being a simple egg sandwich on sourdough bread with a side of golden hashbrowns...yummy!
Sounds like a fun adventure!
