I grew up in a house hold were we had meat and potatoes for just about every meal. Nothing was ever spicy, exotic or foreign. I mean when we ordered Chinese food we got sweet and sour chicken... not really pushing any borders here.
As I got older and started going out to eat with friends I watched them order these crazy things that at the time I would never would have tried, and I didn't. We would go out for sushi and I would get tempura, go to a hibachi grill and I would only eat the meat and rice... something had to chance.
Last night my friends and I went salsa dancing at this Moroccan restaurant and ordered some appetizers. While looking at the menu I realized I had NO idea what anything was and was a little scared to order. I let me friend order and lets just say the old me would have never tried the things she ordered but I ended up loving them!
At that point I made a pack with myself and my friend to try a new "weird looking" food every time I go out to eat. That and to open up my drink selection too, by trying a different drink every time as well.
We decided that we were going to set one night a week called "Crazy food night" and she was going to take me to a place that I have never been to and help be open my food horizons!
This blog is my documentation of everything I try! I will not only write about the food and drink I try but also do a little review of every restaurant I go to. I hope you enjoy; bon appetit!
