Where do you like to eat out and what do you usually order?

One of my favorite restaurants is Ruby Tuesday's. If you dine in on a Tuesday, you can get two entrees for the price of two! And, if your first name is Ruby, then you are only expected to leave a 15% tip! Well, I'm not about to change my name to Ruby, so eating out there on a Tuesday is my best bet for a deal.

I usually order the London Broil Salisbury Steak. It is a Ruby Tuesday's specialty, as the restaurant's founder, Dr. Amethyst Thursday, was from somewhere in or around London. No one really knows for sure, though, as Dr. Thursday didn't have a birth certificate, and he, or she, was really sort of an enigma.

For dessert I usually get the Mt. Krakatoa Chocolate Lava cake. It is one square kilogram of fudge delight!! The cake is actually shaped like a cone volcano, and thick rivers of fudge ooze out of the top. I don't actually eat it, of course. I only order it to watch the effects. (At twelve calories per spoonful, who can afford such indulgence?)

You probably thought that my favorite restaurant would be Professor P.J. Cornucopia's Fantastic Foodmagorium and Great American Steakery. Nah, insufficient parking.
