Do you prefer chain restaurants or local establishments?

How many times a week do you eat out?

If you had to eat one meal every day for a whole year, what would it be?

Do you enjoy cooking/baking?  

Any other food related info you care to share?

What is your favorite fast food establishment? Whataburger or Chickfila.

Do you prefer chain restaurants or local establishments? When I lived in a suburb, I ate at mostly chain restaurants because they were everywhere. Then I met DH and moved into the city and started eating at local places most of the time.

How many times a week do you eat out? Usually 2-3 times on the weekend. Sometimes during the week if I didn't meal plan well.

If you had to eat one meal every day for a whole year, what would it be? Cheese enchiladas smothered in queso.

Do you enjoy cooking/baking? Not really because I'm not very good at it. DH is the better cook in our house.

Any other food related info you care to share? Not yet. I'll think of something.

Happy Friday to you, too!

What is your favorite fast food establishment?
Probably Chipotle

Do you prefer chain restaurants or local establishments?
Local. I can't stand going out of town somewhere and all everyone wants to eat is Applebee's, Chili's or Olive Garden.

How many times a week do you eat out?
At least once. We always do Chinese on Sundays.

If you had to eat one meal every day for a whole year, what would it be?
Burrito bowl from Chipotle.

Do you enjoy cooking/baking?
I like it and I could put more effort into doing it more often.

Any other food related info you care to share? I am the cook in our house. If I left meals up to my husband, we'd just have black beans and tuna or grilled cheese.

What is your favorite fast food establishment? Hard, just depends really, I love Chik fil A, but don't always want a chicken sandwich (yes I recognize they have other things on the menu). I'd probably go with Taco Bell bc I like various items.

Do you prefer chain restaurants or local establishments? Local really, but there is something about a known quantity/quality.

How many times a week do you eat out? 2-3

If you had to eat one meal every day for a whole year, what would it be? Pizza! My absolute favorite food.

Do you enjoy cooking/baking? Yes; however cooking for everyday is a necessity where as cooking for a nice meal/special occasion with fresh ingredients is a luxury which I very much enjoy but do not do often (due to time and $). I am not really a baker, but I can sure chow down on breads, cookies, cakes, etc!

momtex I love the gtky threads...especially when I don't feel like working on a Friday

I used to love chickfila but we don't have then here so I can barely even remember how awesome they are. When I visit friends in GA, we always "go out" to eat at one so I can get my fill up here it's probably boloco or chipotle.

Definitely local. I'm with zombiesquad, it's such a pet peeve of mine when people want to go out somewhere out of town...and suggest Applebee's. (That said TGIFridays is totally a guilty pleasure shhhh.)

Once or twice. I love to eat out but DH reins me in...so we don't go broke and so I don't end up weighing 1000lbs.

That's a tough question...I think it would be a buffalo chicken ceasar salad. I'm obsessed with buffalo anything.

I love to cook! Love love love. I'm only a middle of the road cook but I really enjoy it. I love spending all day on a Sunday making something. I can bake but am not as enamored by it.

[happyktmom]

momtex,I finally tried whataburger last year during a TX business trip! GOOD!
wannabmama,love me some Chikfila!

What is your favorite fast food establishment? Cafe Rio, close second is Baja Fresh

Do you prefer chain restaurants or local establishments? We have a lot of local establishments that make awesome burgers and use all locally grown produce and meat. It's a hot trend in the DC area.

How many times a week do you eat out? try to do no more than 3 times a week including lunches at work.

If you had to eat one meal every day for a whole year, what would it be? Cafe Rio chicken taco - I love Mexican food especially since I have a lap band (not sure I've ever mentioned that to you all before) and it's small and easy to eat slowly and I get all my protein in!

Do you enjoy cooking/baking? LOVE it, wish I had more time for it

Any other food related info you care to share? We are starting The Daniel Plan soon which will require a 21 day sugar detox. Does wine count? grrrrr

[agpjt413]

Oooh!! What a fun GTKY thread, momtex!!

What is your favorite fast food establishment? CookOut closely followed by Wendy's and when I feel the need to "stuff my face," Sonic.

Do you prefer chain restaurants or local establishments? Both - love to support local businesses when we can but if the food isn't good, well...

How many times a week do you eat out? 2-3 (as I'm waiting at a Chinese take out next door to Walmart! I know, I just went grocery shopping but I'm starving and don't feel like cooking when I get home lol! Omg the guy before me order General Tso's and it smells Sooooo goooood. Maybe I should've gotten that instead of shrimp mei fun!)

If you had to eat one meal every day for a whole year, what would it be? Spaghetti

Do you enjoy cooking/baking? LOVE it!

Any other food related info you care to share? Piggybacking on the baking, when I worked at a pretty sizable law firm, MH (who bakes!) and I would sell pies during the holidays (during the wk of Thanksgiving & then again at Christmas time). And they were made to order. For several yrs now, we thought about possibly opening a dessert/coffee shop/café (b/c MH makes unbelievably super moist cakes as well!), but we know it's a LOT of work to run a place like that. And nothing is guaranteed so we wouldn't want to see it go down in flames if we didn't do well.

What is your favorite fast food establishment? Chipotle

Do you prefer chain restaurants or local establishments? We prefer local places.

How many times a week do you eat out? On average, probably once or twice.

If you had to eat one meal every day for a whole year, what would it be?This is a hard one. I get sick of stuff easily. Maybe tacos.

Do you enjoy cooking/baking? I really enjoy both, but more so when it's not something I have to do.

Any other food related info you care to share? I hate Olive Garden. Everyone gets all turned on by their breadsticks, but they are so nasty to me.

[wirt2cute]

What is your favorite fast food establishment? This is a hard one, I love Chick-fil-a but Wendy's is right up there too, along with Krystal's.

Do you prefer chain restaurants or local establishments? Where I am the local establishments are hidden and I have yet to try and find them. My favorite chain restaurant is Outback. I'm in love with the Aussie Cheese Fries!

How many times a week do you eat out? When I'm on WW, not at all. But when I am slacking we can eat out 4-5's per week.

If you had to eat one meal every day for a whole year, what would it be? Ummmmm, I eat so many different things but I guess it would have to be baked spaghetti with cheese.

Do you enjoy cooking/baking? Yes and no

Any other food related info you care to share? I am great at cooking meats(chicken, fish, seafood, beef) just about any type of way grilled, baked, fried, broiled, or steamed. But I am horrible with sides and my lasagna never turns out right no matter what I do or what recipe I follow.

You are my fast food twin.

[lickwed]

zombiesquad that is too funny. The only chain restaurants around us are Chili's and Applebees. We have to drive 30 minutes to get anything else. So of course they are always crowded and we tend to do more local.

[lickwed]

teenybenoit I will purchase almost anything wrapped in bacon, including pizza crust.

[lickwed]

What is your favorite fast food establishment? Other than Whataburger and Chick fil a, Five Guys.

Do you prefer chain restaurants or local establishments I like both. I would go with what I know, but DH likes to try new stuff so I've eaten local more since we've been together.

How many times a week do you eat out? At least 2. After I work out, it feels too late to cook, so I am bad about sendng DH to pick something up on his way home.

If you had to eat one meal every day for a whole year, what would it be? Lemon pepper chicken wings.

Do you enjoy cooking/baking? Yes, I just wish I had more time or got off work earlier in the day.

[URMySunshine77]

What is your favorite fast food establishment? Chipotle

Do you prefer chain restaurants or local establishments? I prefer local establishments. My husband got me hooked.

How many times a week do you eat out? We probably eat out four to five times a week because I pick up a sandwich to share with my son for lunch several times a week. DH and I order in on Friday nights and get lunch out once a weekend.

If you had to eat one meal every day for a whole year, what would it be? Roman-style pizza

Do you enjoy cooking/baking? I like cooking but enjoy baking more. Since the LO's arrival, I haven't done much baking.

Any other food related info you care to share? We are vegetarian.

[vh2014]

I know it's not Friday anymore... but you said food... so I had to join in late and couldn't let it go.

What is your favorite fast food establishment? Another vote for Chipotle. I'd say Chic-fil-A too but I always try to go on Sunday and then feel like an idiot when I have to drive around the building when they are closed. Fun fact: I had the Chic-fil-A sauce in the original restraunt before they packaged it.. though I don't like it.

Do you prefer chain restaurants or local establishments? Depends. When we travel I try to go to local stuff but when we are home we eat both.

How many times a week do you eat out? 1-2 per our budget, which DH is good at keeping track of. If it was me it would be more some weeks and less others depending on if I am on a cooking kick or not.

If you had to eat one meal every day for a whole year, what would it be? Mac and Cheese

Do you enjoy cooking/baking? Yes, when I have time. I love to cook for a crowd.

Any other food related info you care to share? Latest fad for me has been jumping on the "unique" cupcakes bandwagon. I don't even like cake but it's fun to make different flavors and share.

I love the Little Ceasars bacon wrapped... soooo bad for you but a heavenly helping of bacon, bread,and gooey cheesiness.  I read somewhere they put something in it to make you want more... if so it works.  I can eat that until I'm almost sick. YUMMMMMM
