Some places are Ceil’s places. Others are just convenient and quick. We tend to go to where C wants to go. Some of those places y’all go sound good: Buttermilk Kitchen, that Egg Café place, etc. So many of those high end burger places I’m not that crazy about but other’s like. Yeah Burger is good but I don’t like the oddball beverage selection. Not a fan of Flip Burger. Smash Burger and Five Guys aren’t as good as Fuddruckers (the best) or Cheeseburger Bobbys. I didn’t have Hamburger Hamlet on my list. I rank it below most of those other fancy burger places. More sizzle than steak. These days the Varsity is more for the experience than the food. Wendy’s beats McDonalds and Arbys and Burger King. Taco Bell beats Del Taco. Moes beats Willys beats Barbaritos beats Chipotle.   

El Felix: Ford Fry is the owner/chef, whose son is pals with M. M and C don’t have classes this week. Last night M went down to the Tabernacle to see the Twenty One Pilots concert. I had to pick him up at the Holcomb Bridge Waffle House at 11:15, so it was another late night.

Chili’s: not one of our regular places but we usually make it there once every year or two. The East Cobb Chili’s is usually packed, probably more due to the lack of competition. That drives us to other places. Not sure where we’re going for M’s birthday tomorrow.

I see The Big Ketch is having a big anniversary celebration this week (I get the emails). The night we went to PF Chang I had suggested to Ceil that we go to The Big Ketch, but we were already at PF Chang.
