Yes! Bahama Breeze would be even better!

Option 1 - Enter the URL to the image of another website

After right clicking on the photo from the website, I select "copy image link"
Then I get the error message "Invalid File"

I know I'm not doing something right. How do you add an avatar? Thanks.

You're in the right place. The note there says, "Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 120 by 120 pixels or 87.9 KB (whichever is smaller)." I suspect that is your problem.

I use "Option 2" and upload avatars from my computer. None of them are bigger than 69 KB.

I wouldn't know how to resize an image. When I right click, I don't have that option. You have been a wonderful help. Many thanks.

I break down restaurant into 3 types.
Fine dining where a person spends a lot of money to enjoy the experience.
Mid-range where besides a meal you are looking for a rest stop from the day.
Fast food nothing more than a fueling station for the body.
I don't care what you spend, I've gotten to believe the best place to eat is at home.
You know what is going into your meal, who is preparing it and if want you can eat your meal in your underwear.

While I agree with you that the best meals are the ones we prepare our selves, In most homes here in TV, the least used room is the kitchen. We have always enjoyed cooking and work together in the kitchen. Of course, we have to agree who is the chef and who is the sous chef on any given recipe.

Anyone find out what was going on at Cheddars in Ocala on Hwy. 200 around October or so??

We had to go to West Marion Hosp. and one time we drove by, the complete building was
covered in a tarp, termites Maybe???

Gpsma 01-20-2024 02:36 PM

I love food comments from people in flyover states..they know nothing! Brats and beans are their specialty.

Only those that lived east of the hudson river or west of the rockies know good food. Hmmm…californians can do just okay but better than those from bumscrew wizard of oz land.

Stu from NYC 01-20-2024 03:40 PM

How about a good NY style deli.

Like Cheddars. Unfortunately it would be another chain restaurant in TV.

Hungry Howies is similar to Little Caesars and several of them in and around TV.

I cannot believe anyone would eat that sandwich, it has to be a heart attack waiting to happen.

Really you don’t consider any processed food served in restaurants just as bad?

Many self respecting southern folk have lived to 90s and more, with that can of bacon grease on the stove. Mid 20s future MIL served potatoes had no idea why it tasted weird until I saw the box. We always had fresh picked fruit vegetables eggs butter cheese and raised own protein until last year.

It's the processed food that should cause one worry. For us it’s not about eating clean. It’s about how it tastes. When you rarely eat processed food it it wreaks havoc on system.

Agree but it is so good. Hubby and I always split it and split a dinner salad. That way, the impact is not that bad. Also, it is treat, not regular fare for us.

As Hunter Thompson said…..

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!

Has anyone notice some restaurants are charging not only
a fee to use a credit card, but charge for an extra plate when you spit a meal. :mad: barf

LuvNH 01-21-2024 11:49 AM

I "think" some restaurants have always charged a nominal fee for the extra plate. I cannot remember where, but I have seen it.

Have seen it back when we lived in NYC but not here. CC fee is unfortunately becoming more common.

Are you doing market research to open your own franchise ?

Unfortunately, I find that high sodium levels is found in most of the offerings of all the chain restaurants. It is very difficult to eat out often if you are trying to limit your limit your sodium intake to 1500 mg per day.

Between supersizing meals and tons of salt restaurants are doing a good job trying to fatten us up and killing us.

Super sizing of a meal is not a problem. We bring half home and have another meal. The sodium content is a problem, however but it does save me from having to pick up the salt shaker so there is that. I agree it is healthier to eat at home but we enjoy eating out about once a week. Keeps me happy anyway.

HeleneGB 01-30-2024 05:06 AM

Would love to have Cheddars in TV. They have a fantastic monte Cristo sandwich.

Glad it works for you but bet most of us will consume more at a restaurant than a meal at home.

Yuck, no way. Cheddars is brutal.

Cheddars Scratch Kitchen prepares their food with fresh ingredients......never frozen. That doesn't sound "yuck" to me but what do I know?
