FatMan Eats

Well, I still love to eat but it is hard to go out now with all the current problems we are having….. I will continue “Places a FatMan Eats” after things get better… Hope that is soon…. Wear a mask!so I am bringing it back! Of course a lot of the restaurants will be close to where I live… With the Virus i hve not been out in a long time…..My health does not allow me to treavel a lot…… most of the restaurants will be in short driving distance from me.

Aug. 19,2022

Well, I stopped by Bob Evans for Breakfast after my visit to the VA…  I ordered an omelet very easy and hash browns cooked close to burned…  Guess what I got… the hash browns were still white, like they had never been on the grill, the omelet was so over cooked the texture was like I was eating rubber… I had white toast one piece was burned the other still white bread….

What many restaurants seem to forget is we come there for the food, for the food… I don’t care how much the cute girls flirt with you when they bring the food, I don’t care if they only sometimes give me the military discount… I want good food… we go to places to have good food…

It looks like it will be a while before I go back!

Well, as it says these are places I like to eat….

Amazing Joe's Restaurant

Well, I have fallen in love about 100 times with the waitresses… but.. that’s a story for another time…..
I love the ribs…. I had a friend visit for Colorado and all he talked about was the local rib joint…
that was until he had the ribs at Amazing Joe’s.. never heard about the local rib joint again….

Update 3.19.22 on the Texas Roadhouse Muncie
I didn’t see the sign but I think they changed the name to
the Texas Roadhouse and Night Club
the music was so loud I had to yell at my waitress to give her my order!
Why do we go to restaurants?
1. For the food  2. For the service  3. To have conversations with your friends or business clients
Way, way down the list is for the music. Never in my life or the lives of my friend have I ever heard let’s go to ABC to eat so I can hear the music..
I will not recommend this restaurant if you want to talk to someone… definitely  for a 1st date when you want to talk to the person…
Also, very bad place to take business clients
I think the 1st thing they teach you in business school is: Make you clients as uncomfortable as possible! Great business concept!
I spend an average of $400+ a month eating out with clents and they will not be getting much of that if any… Loud music is how amatures, no talented musicians think it make music better… of course that is BULLSHIT!

Texas Roadhouse
