Are there any restaurants or take-out places where you have a "usual"?

I never thought I would, but today I walked into my favorite burger joint and right as I approach the counter before I can place an order, the man behind the counter says "hamburger with avocado?" and I couldn't help but smile. I hadn't been there in two months even and he seems to know my order by now. My life is getting predictable :P

    Used to be, I rarely eat out or do take out anymore, though.

    I have during certain periods had " a usual."  I don't like to eat away from home very often now so I have no usual in my newish place of residence.    The closest is the place where I had dinner tonight with family and friends......a local fish house.  I always gets fried shrimp when I go there.  I never use ketchup from a bottle in a restaurant.  I use very little but when I want some for my potatoes I request some "to go" packages.  I noticed tonight that the owner brought some "to go" packages to me before we ever had the menu.

    I'm the same way.  I enjoy fresh pure food and the only way to get it is to cook it yourself.  I would like to grow some of it too.  I keep saying that but I haven't acted.  Soon.

  • I love to cook, but I also love trying new restaurants. I like all different cuisines, but I can only cook a limited variety. I'm always adding new recipes though :)

    Not a restaurant, but a pub. I go to the Somerset with my better half, as soon as the barmaid sees me she pulls a pint of Cooper's Pale Ale and mixes a vodka sunrise - the beer for me, the cocktail for her.

    There is a place down the street that has the best avocado, bacon burger.
    When I get a craving for one that is where I get it.
