Red Robin

Too tired to cook = dinner at Red Robin. The Critic is having a boys' night out. 

The Big Guy ate a Tavern Double with special sauce on the side (no lettuce or tomato). He can't get enough of it! Special sauce is basically thousand island dressing. 

FIT and I shared a special BBQ burger with candied bacon. It's really good. Only problem is the price tag. 

And campfire sauce. Always campfire sauce. 

Yum.  

Arashi Ramen

Went as a family to a new ramen place in Southcenter.  Here's what I'm learning... despite my intense love of Asian food, ramen is not my favorite.  Maybe this is because of an article I read that talked about how horrible it is for you -- fatty cuts of meat and huge amounts of sodium... cholesterol off the charts.  Maybe, but honestly the nutrition of food has always been second to me if it tastes good.  And that's what it comes down to for me.  I'm not a fan of the taste.  It's too funky -- too fermented (miso?). 

I'll go with the family.  The Big Guy is convinced he loves it, but I'm not so sure.  But I will never crave a ramen night out with the family.

Cactus

We had brunch with The Critic's mom to discuss our plans to move.  Brunch turned out to be a great idea for The Guys as far as food goes at Cactus.  FIT ate nearly everything offered to him… Seafood enchiladas, tamales, and he loved his Tres Leches French toast.  The Big Guy was quite content with his scrambled eggs and bacon.  I got the tamales which were alright. The Critic loved his seafood enchiladas. All in all, it worked as a place for family to eat for brunch.
