Steak. Something immoral about paying another man to cook your steak.

8/31/2011 7:42:04 PM

Testicles. I love new/weird foods but I just can't bring myself to eat balls.

8/31/2011 7:46:39 PM

Things I could easily cook at home, like basic spaghetti.

8/31/2011 7:47:30 PM

A chicken entree, unless its really fancy. Chicken is for at home dining. When I go out, I want something better.

8/31/2011 7:50:56 PM

^ and ^^ pretty much for me.

And soup...I don't want soup from a restaurant.

Not as a main course, but you're screwing yourself if you abstain from some bisques and chowders at some places along the coast

Good luck cooking that shit up at home

8/31/2011 8:01:31 PM

^Right. I should have been more clear...I love clam chowder and crab or lobster bisque. But I wouldn't order any kind of ordinary soup (like the stuff at Olive Garden, pretty much) from a restaurant.

8/31/2011 8:05:44 PM

Why would you order soup anyways? Soup isn't a meal. I mean maybe if you crumbled some crackers in it, it could be considered a meal...

I can cook a bigger steak better than any restaurant and will also save money.

Same reason people order a salad...it's a side.

8/31/2011 8:23:45 PM

seafood, most chicken, & any other non-muscle animal product.

8/31/2011 8:24:30 PM

salad
the special
appetizers in general, unless they ARE the meal, like armadillo grill's nachos.
chicken alfredo
breadsticks
water
tea
coffee
soup

8/31/2011 8:25:23 PM

liver, oysters, escargot

8/31/2011 8:29:00 PM

Cock meat sandwich

8/31/2011 8:32:29 PM

I usually don't eat anything that's not in the name of the place.



Like... if I go to a pizza place... i'll order pizza
if I go to a steak place... i'll order steak

but I won't ever touch steak if I go to a breakfast place like dennys or Ihop. Fuck. That.
I'd never order pizza from cheeseburger in paradise

etc...

8/31/2011 8:34:28 PM

^ what do you order at dennys? or wendys?

8/31/2011 8:35:37 PM

when i go to o'charlies i only order the authentic irish items

8/31/2011 8:36:42 PM

"what do you order at dennys? or wendys? "

pancakes, loaded cheese fries with ranch, eggs, corned beef hash, bacon

8/31/2011 8:43:54 PM

It's not so much food I would never order as restaurants I would never visit.

yeah that pretty much sums it up for me.

and a grilled white fish. i'll order it blackened or fried, but not grilled.

8/31/2011 8:54:08 PM

Fish. Period.

But that's because I don't like fish.

I know what you're saying. On the other hand, a quality basic dish is usually a good sign that other things coming out of the kitchen are going to be good.

8/31/2011 9:02:54 PM

I'm with the OP on this one- I gotta be at a reeeal nice steakhouse to be talked into ordering steak. And unlike Jeepin4x4, I would never order meatloaf

The soups I make are hearty enough for a meal.

Not sure if this is a reference to the Seinfeld episode or not...

8/31/2011 9:13:32 PM

^^ because really good spaghetti is really good

8/31/2011 9:14:37 PM

i thought about this and i dont think there is anything that i wouldn't order.


i usually ask the waiter most of the time and just roll with it.

[Edited on August 31, 2011 at 9:15 PM. Reason : ^^ lol i love tha t episode ]

8/31/2011 9:14:39 PM

grilled cheese sandwich. i ain't paying like $4 for something that costs $0.20 to make.

8/31/2011 9:15:30 PM

^ actually that is a good one



but i once got a grilled tomato, avocado, bacon, and cheese that was out of this world!!!

[Edited on August 31, 2011 at 9:16 PM. Reason : f]

8/31/2011 9:16:39 PM

Would it be too much to ask you people to include a reason?


I dont mind ordering stuff at a restaurant that I can cook at home for two reasons:

A) I like to check out the competition.

B) On the off chance I might find something I'd like to incorporate into my recipe.


* steak rule applies
** I only eat seafood at two places that are not east of Raleigh and not a chain restaurant.

[Edited on August 31, 2011 at 9:21 PM. Reason : I proofread. I promise. ]

8/31/2011 9:17:10 PM

For me one of the reasons for eating out is to try things I don't make regularly. If I want to eat lasagna I'll make it ay home for less and have a guarantee it's good.

The exception to this rule is sandwiches. I love me some well made deli sandwiches.

8/31/2011 9:21:09 PM

^This (minus the lasagna part...I don't make lasagna)

8/31/2011 9:23:18 PM

Ok. I admit. I've waaaay over paid for a deli sandwich before. And it was damn good.

8/31/2011 9:24:18 PM

I won't order most things in restaurants. If it's not a salad, a light app, sushi or booze, I won't touch it. I'm paranoid about the use of butter and oil in most dishes in restaurants. Chefs and line cooks tend to be heavy-handed with the stuff. I've worked in enough restaurants to be paranoid.

8/31/2011 9:28:03 PM

I follow the ncsuapex school of thought.

I'm way too carnivorous.

ignorant.

a little bit of a point, but sometimes it's worth just exposing yourself to new things. i guess the only testicles ive had were duck though. put a big bull testicle in front of me and i'd have reservations.

Quote :

why eat at a place that uses quick cook spaghetti and prego. this is what im assuming you're talking about. unless you're like four years old.

Quote :

this is valid. chicken entrees are put on menus for people who dont know what the fuck they're doing or are boring as shit.

mutilator (sort of. assuming you're only eating blackened or fried... there are plenty of other ways to cook a white fish. unless you're talking about certain garbage whitefishes... then fry the fuck out of em)

"grilled cheese sandwich. i ain't paying like $4 for something that costs $0.20 to make."

no place uses kraft and food lion white bread. at least no place you should be eating at. quality grilled cheeses can be great. not that i've ever ordered one, but i could understand doing so.
