I have decided that I need to find a new favorite food because I have had way too much of everything else. My girlfriend simply loves the Olive Garden and I would rather get hit by a truck before going back there. At one point I think it was the only place we ate out at for three months straight. This time I made her dig through the East Village Chicago Neighborhood Guide and find a new place to eat. Mexican food is out as well. I live about two blocks away from one right now and I have managed to go there so much they know me by name and I have a usual order. Needless to say I have had to slowly pry myself away from it for a while. Maybe I should steer myself into sushi or some new Chinese food for a change. I have also been thinking about experimenting with Indian food as well. The smell usually turns me off but I am willing to try anything rather than go back to the Olive Garden. I am letting her choose the first new restaurant though, so it will be a surprise for me. Somehow I have the feeling it will be another Italian restaurant with an excess of bread sticks.
