I would've done these sooner, but the site has been down and I just came across a blog today that had answered the questions, so here they are:
1. What is your favorite restaurant and why?
I don't have really expensive tastes in restaurants as I feel really out of place in expensive, hoity-toity places. My favorite place has got to be Hops Steakhouse followed closely by Red Lobster. Hops has got the BEST affordable steak. I love Red Lobster because I don't know how to prepare seafood at home and I just love shrimp and they prepare it so many ways!
2. What fast food restaurant are you partial to?
The Hamburger Stand (I absolutely love their chili cheese dogs). They're also relatively inexpensive and the one close to work makes good iced tea.
3. What are your standards and rules for tipping?
As a person who has worked for tips, I tip rather generously. I always give at least 20% unless the service was attrocious and then the server is lucky to get $1.00. I can only remember twice in my life where I left no tip at all. Things like refilling drinks without being asked, not ignoring us once the entrees arrive, good attitude, anticipating our needs are all things that help increase the tip.
4. Do you usually order an appetizer and/or dessert?
I ususally don't order either as the meal portions are more than enough to fill me up. The only exception is when I'm at BeauJo's Pizza and then I HAVE to get the stuffed mushrooms. I absolutely LOVE them. I've tried to recreate them at home but I just can't get them quite right.
5. What do you usually order to drink at a restaurant?
On an extremely rare, special occasion I'll have an adult beverage. I ususally get one when my dad takes me out for my birthday and once in a while I'll have a drink with dinner with my friend Dave. Other than that, I'd rather have a glass of fresh-brewed iced tea with my meal (not that pre-made Lipton crap that some places are carrying now).
