Fazoli's!
This is the last restaurant on my list, and it's the one I'm least in love with. I used to really like them. They were relatively inexpensive, and the unlimited breadsticks made my carb-loving self happy. But, the last couple of times I've gone in there, I've noticed that they don't give out the breadsticks so freely anymore, and it costs close to $20 for Will and I to eat there. I still love their food, but I have to love it less often than I want to.

Cori's Dog House!
I'm sure the name gives it away, but this is a restaurant that's all about hot dogs! I believe this one is also a local restaurant. Now, I know some people think hot dogs are disgusting, and if you really think about what's in them, they are. However, Cori's offers veggie dogs and turkey dogs, so you can at least get something that you know is meat-ish or veggie-ish. Cori's has 30-something different kinds of hot dogs based on different regions. You can get a card where an employee will initial it every time you try a different hot dog, and when you finish, you get a free hot dog, a free t-shirt, and your picture on the wall of fame. My brother and I have cards, but we've only gotten about 6 different ones. We've got a long way to go before we get to the wall of fame...

Painturo's!
Painturo's is another local restaurant. It has a location in the town I live in and one a couple of blocks from where I work, so theoretically, I could have it for lunch and dinner every night. They have Italian(ish) food like pizza, pasta, and calzones. Plus, they have a lunch club where you can earn a free meal with every 10 you buy. I've only earned it once, but I'm willing to keep trying!

El Ok Corral!
So if you're outside of the Middle TN area, you've probably never heard of this restaurant, but chances are, you have your own local version. El Ok Corral is a local Mexican restaurant that has good, affordable food, and the servers are some of the nicest people I've encountered in any restaurant. I may be a little biased towards them since I've celebrated a couple of birthdays there, but if you're looking for something besides Los Compadres or Cinco de Mayo, check them out!

Which Wich!
I love Which Wich. Not only does it have a ridiculous name, but it's like Subway on steroids. I have a hard time ordering at Subway sometimes ("uhhh, spinach and uhhh tomato and uhh mustard), so when I go to Which Wich and get to use the little bag instead of having to be all awkward with someone. Plus, they always have avocado...real avocado too, not guacamole like the S place. I think I need to go there tomorrow. I can be healthy-ish there, right?

Chick Fil A!
Okay, my disclaimer to this post is that I've had it planned since January. I didn't know that it would become the most polarizing restaurant on the planet Earth when I decided to feature it this week. But, I like their food, and I like my food and my politics separate, and I am a Christian, and that's all for my disclaimer, and I used the word 'and' too much here...ha. Also, since my feed posting thingy for social networks seems to have stopped working days ago, who knows if anyone will ever even see this? ;-p
Chick Fil A is the cleanest fast food restaurant I've ever been to. I've never worried about getting food poisoning from it or questioned the hygiene of its employees. Plus, their food is delicious, and the employees are super polite. When the town I worked in opened a location, it was packed, and none of the employees were rude or frazzled. Sometimes I know that the requests I make aren't really "their pleasure," but I'll keep their secret safe...

Jimbo's!
Since I'm on the path to trying to lose weight (see my other blog for the grisly details), I've decided to devote the next few days to restaurants. That logic may not make sense to anyone, but it makes perfect sense in my left-handed brain...
So, the first restaurant on the list is Jimbo's! Jimbo's is a little local restaurant that is a little bit 50s diner inspired with the music and decor. They serve hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken sandwiches, and you can get a lot of different toppings on them, like green peppers and mushrooms. They also have milkshakes. Huge, delicious milkshakes. Please excuse me while I drool a little bit...
