Sher and I have been waiting, like most, for the vaccine. One of the things we miss since we’ve been “in isolation” is going out to eat. Such a simple activity that tons of people used to do before COVID. One place that we really miss is Cheddars Restaurants.
Famous potato soup
Legendary onion ring tower
Cheddars is really our favorite casual restaurant, followed by Olive Garden. It will be really nice going back out for a nice meal even if the tables are spread out and everybody is in masks. I guess we’ll all have to get used to that, it’s gonna be the norm for a while.
We have received our first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, and our second dose is already scheduled for March 15th. Shortly after that we’ll have what the experts are saying is a high percentage of immunity.

sono contento per voi che vi siete già vaccinati, anche qua stanno andando avanti le vaccinazioni, partendo dalle fasce più anziane della popolazione. I ristoranti ci mancano tanto anche a noi, qua in Liguria siamo in zona arancione in questo momento, per cui niente pranzo al tavolo, solo asporto…

Di recente alcuni ristoranti hanno una capacità dal 25 al 50%. Spero che i programmi di vaccinazione procedano rapidamente!

It is the best potato soup ever! Still can’t believe a Claim Jumper got replaced with a Chick-fil-A.

We rarely go out to eat. So we haven’t missed eating out. That stack of onion rings look really interesting. Onion rings are worth going out for.

Are restaurants open where you are? We have limited outdoor dining again. I’m continuing to stay away.

Some restaurants are trying to be open at 25% capacity. We’re not doing anything until we have both doses and the recommended time post second dose.

I used to love eating at restaurants but stopped, pre covid, due to being broke. I don’t really miss it but a champagne brunch sounds amazing right now.

That brunch does sound good. So does a Golden Corral type buffet, but I bet we’ve seen the last of those for a while.

The only GC I ever went to was horrible. I wish the local Hilton and/or El Toro Grill still had brunch buffet. They were AMAZING but ended long ago, weird post-9/11 closures.
I guess I’ll fantasize about a Las Vegas buffet, though I can’t eat enough to get my money’s worth. The days of cheap buffets in Vegas are loooong gone!

We’ve been to good GCs and OK ones. By far the best buffets were in casinos. Key phrase “were”.

I haven’t been to any Indian casinos. There’s one that’s pretty close but it’s small and traffic is a nightmare.

Our restaurants are open (and all seems quite normal) – we have eaten out once of twice since it opened a couple of months ago … but we actually prefer to “eat in” 😊. We love sitting around our fire (then dinner normally turns out to be a long affair!)
But seeing that potato soup, I think it is probably worth looking for a restaurant – yummy!!
