Default Favorite places to eat???

Hi,
My husband and I are moving to the Villages soon. We eat out almost all the time here, but basically only one meal each day. What are your favorite places to eat both in the Village, or within a 30 min radius? We love both "neighborhood" restaurants of the locals, and chain restaurants. What are some of your favorite:
1) "Local's" restaurant 9) Tea shop
2) Mexican 10) Place for drinks
3) Hamburger place 11) Steakhouse
4) Chain restaurant 12) Other
5) Seafood place
6) Breakfast place
7)Ice cream place
8) Other ethnic place

Thank you for any suggestions....

I agree with Niels. He said it so much better than I could.

Maybe he will say it again.

Good thing I love to cook. You could come over and eat at my house.

He just wrote a post a couple days ago about his assessment of restaurants in TV...I swear he did, just not on this thread.

NIELS!

I think he said that most of the restaurants in TV are o.k. not great. BUT they aren't expensive...except for Arnold and Nancy.

We like Cane Garden and TooJays and Nancy Lopez.

I love TooJays. I know it is a deli too(And I said something on another thead about delis that made someone mad) but I love the hot stuff at TooJays and I ADORE their chicken livers...THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

The Hot Stuff is not their waiters.

If I had a dollar for all my senior moments I could have retired 50 years ago.

At age 18. ... No wait. I was 8.

See what I mean!

Dagnabbit, Skip. You're onto something. If I didn't spend so much dang time reading all these posts, I'd get more exercise.

And hey... isn't Post a cereal. There I go again.



P.S., but if you think I'm only on the food threads, then.... you.... only.... read.... the .... food.... threads. AHA!

(oops, there I go ahead.)

Gracie,

I am with you. I prefer to cook at home. I am into healthy eating. This is difficult to do when you eat out. Occasionally I eat out for social reasons but prefer what I cook at home.
