Food Day

Restaurants I've Patronized in the Past Week

• Los Tios: A Mexican restaurant in Del Ray. Had the best seafood burrito I've ever tasted (even in Spain), for only eleven dollars.
• Applebee's: A trio of mini bacon burgers with a side of crispy fries.
• Popeyes: The Tuesday Special.
• Golden King: Chinese delivery of chicken and broccoli, shrimp lo mein, and wonton soup.
• Longhorn Steakhouse: Sauteed mushrooms, a baked potato with bacon bits and sour cream, and a 12 ounce block of cow with a little too much seasoning on it.

Regular Meals Eaten in College

• A carry-out box of scrambled eggs and all-you-can-eat bacon for breakfast from Schultz Express.
• A chicken patty sandwich with fries from Dietrick Express.
• Fettucini alfredo and nachos with cheese from Schultz.
• Philly cheesesteak with fries from Owens. I never quite understood how you could make a cheeseteak with chicken. Peppers sucked too -- mushrooms and onions for life.
• Chicken sandwich with waffle fries from Chick-fila in Hokie Grill. I seem to have eaten a lot of fries in my youth. And bacon.

Favourite Meals Made at Home

• Velveeta Shells & Cheese
• Totino's Classic Pepperoni Pizza for You
• Progresso New England Clam Chowder
• Tyson's Honey Barbeque Wings

Worst Places to Eat

• The Olive Garden: How can this overpriced restaurant have a four page menu and nothing to eat?
• Lord Moon of the Mall Pub in London: Bland food and expensive pints, especially the Coors Light.
• Buffalo Wing Factory in Sterling: We ordered carryout wings here once and got dried, desiccated husks of muscle and skin that would be more at home in an embalming workshop.
