I love to cook for others, unfortunately I am unable to take criticism for a meal that I've prepared using fine ingredients and love.

P. S. In my next life I am going to culinary school and becoming a chef

I think of those as fast food, not resturants.

Really??? You don't care for Bonefish Grille, Johnny Carrabas, Oakwood Barbecue, Cody's Roadhouse, Longhorn Steakhouse, etc??? You must have a very limited choice of restaurants.

not always, locals depend on good food and service or they can't feed their family..we have eaten at longhorns once and not only was the service on the same level at Mc Ds, the food was not worth the stop...ran out of three things we ordered and then brought out what was left and asked what we wanted to do for a replacement after bringing the one dinner that had not run out...

Want to go a little further, you can find another 325 restaurants within a 30 to 100 mile drive on this site. With this information, you can draw your own conclusions about restaurant shortages.

Sounds like the folks living south of 466A who are griping about a lack of restaurants down there did not do "drive around research" before buying their house.

what you think when everyone drove down to pick out a lot south of 466a that the sand got in their eyes and didn't see that there was only dirt. nope been coming here since 2007 we know what's south of 466a, and would like to lighten up the load for new residents coming in...

Had breakfast at Rae Rae's last week (on 441) in Fruitland Park on a TOTV recom mendation. Delish! A lot closer to us than either Athens NY or Billy's, both of which we love.
