[speaker001:] Uh, Kate, what kind of, uh, where do you like to eat out?
[speaker002:] Well, we, uh, we really like the Mexican food, you know, here in Texas
[speaker001:] Yes.
[speaker002:] and, uh, so we try and go around to different Mexican restaurants trying them out, and so, uh, Tia's is probably our favorite, uh, restaurant there, and I think they have one of the best services that, uh, that we really like it.
[speaker001:] Do you? Have you tried Mother Mesquites?
[speaker002:] No. Where's that at?
[speaker001:] That's at Skillman and L B J
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] there is, it's where Skillman, uh, curves into Forest Lane
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and it's real good Mexican food. Another real good one is, uh, Rafael's down on McKinney Avenue.
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] They're both very good.
[speaker002:] Really?
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] Oh, that, uh, no, we haven't explored, uh, you know, too many places. Um, you know, lot of the big name brand, I guess, uh, chains
[speaker001:] Chains, uh-huh.
[speaker002:] yeah, but, um, oh, we've tried places, you know, down, uh, by the Collin Creek Mall, the, uh, you know, Alvarez, and, um, gosh we tried, what was across the street, El Paso's
[speaker001:] Oh, El Chico's or El Fenix
[speaker002:] El Chico's or something, yeah, something
[speaker001:] one, uh-huh
[speaker002:] something like that, uh-huh, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh, uh-huh. Well, I like Tia's better than I do El Chico's or El Fenix.
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] Uh, much better. Uh, Mother Mesquite's is one of our favorites but then fajitas are one of my, uh, I like it better than just about anything
[speaker002:] Oh, yes.
[speaker001:] and they make very good fajitas there
[speaker002:] Yes.
[speaker001:] in their own, uh, homemade flour tortillas that are just absolutely wonderful.
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] Especially with butter and honey on them [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, uh-huh. Oh, I know, I tell, I tell you what. They are, they just, um, they're excellent, uh, excellent food. I wish I could make them here at home.
[speaker001:] Yes, yes, so do I.
[speaker002:] Just can't make those flour tortillas. But,
[speaker001:] Well, what else do you like?
[speaker002:] Well, I love, uh, I love seafood
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and I notice they have like the, you know, The Louisiana Purchase, um, Razzoo's has opened up down, you know, off of, um, um, oh, close to six thirty-five.
[speaker001:] Yes, now I haven't eaten there. Have you eaten there?
[speaker002:] Yes. I have eaten there. Now the only problem, *note the setup for a negative comment I love the food. It's a lot of cajun food and
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] good seafood, but, uh, the service has always been so strange, every time I've been in there. Mostly it's been at lunch time
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and, uh, but I hear at night though they have, uh, you know, the outdoor, um, bar, and, um, uh, that's it's really, uh, you know, kind of lively.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] So, it's, it's really good. All their blackened grill stuff.
[speaker001:] Oh, I, we like, uh, uh, for the cajun, the spicy, we like Atchafalaya's out on Belt Line, in Addison
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and it's a good restaurant.
[speaker002:] Oh, well that sounds great.
[speaker001:] And fish, for one of the best fish restaurants in town is either Vincent's
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] there in Plano
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] or, uh, I believe it's a Rusty Scupper over on, uh, uh, Dallas Parkway
[speaker002:] Huh. *slash error
[speaker001:] in Addison, which is absolutely wonderful.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] The service is great. They have every kind of fish that you could imagine you'd want
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and the, the atmosphere is wonderful too. If you want a really special night out and fish food
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] that's a good place to go.
[speaker002:] Oh well, I, uh, I have children and, and work, and so we, uh, we can eat a lot of fast food [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Fast food, well, I can understand that. *two utts I can remember when our children were small.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] We lived in the Chicago area at the time, and we had a lot of McDonalds
[speaker002:] Yeah [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] when they were first coming out.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] I know.
[speaker001:] I can't look a McDonalds in the face now.
[speaker002:] I, I know, I, I'm so sick of McDonalds,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] and we used to eat there, we used to eat there all the time. And, so now we, we, we branch out at this Wendy's or [LAUGHTER] some other fast food joint.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Well, Taco Bueno's good [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Oh and, and cheap too.
[speaker001:] And cheap, and cheap.
[speaker002:] Yeah, but, but the kids, they've got those expensive tastes so, uh, they like Tia's so they can sit down
[speaker001:] Yes, yes
[speaker002:] and all that good kind of stuff.
[speaker001:] yes. Sounds like my grandchildren.
[speaker002:] Yeah, I know. They, they, they're just spoiled rotten, but, uh,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] but, no, I, uh, uh, we love to eat out, of course, it's just so much easier and simpler
[speaker001:] Oh, yes.
[speaker002:] yeah. So we, uh, we usually eat out generally two or three times a week.
[speaker001:] Well, it's just my husband and I, and it's either T V dinners at home or we go out to eat.
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] And I would much rather go out to eat than T V dinners [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Oh, me too, me too. So, I know, uh, I, I know that I, uh, you know, I just work and I'm just tired when I get home and I, I just don't feel like cooking.
[speaker001:] Oh, no, no.
[speaker002:] And, uh, you know, on the weekends there's always things to do, and, uh, so we like to go out to lunch on Saturdays especially.
[speaker001:] I like breakfast out.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] I like the IHOP there in Plano.
[speaker002:] Yeah, now I, we've been there twice and, and both times I, just, oh, the food just didn't quite settle with me
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] and I don't know what it was.
[speaker001:] Oh, now that's surprising
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] because normally they're just, they're real good.
[speaker002:] Yes, and I love.
[speaker001:] I like because they, they're, even if they're crowded, they're fast service, you know
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] um, don't have to wait forever for a table.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, yeah.
[speaker001:] And we also like Owens, uh
[speaker002:] [Throat clearing] Oh, family restaurant.
[speaker001:] country sausa-, yeah
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] yeah. We think it's good.
[speaker002:] Now I haven't been there befo-, I went to one I think in Ohio or, or, or somewhere up there, but I've never been to that one here. I know it's just down the street.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. It's good.
[speaker002:] So. Now have you been to Applebee's.
[speaker001:] Yes, yes.
[speaker002:] Yes.
[speaker001:] And we like Applebee's.
[speaker002:] Yes, I, I really like that too, so that was, uh.
[speaker001:] Yeah, it, it's fun. I like your, up there in Plano, that, uh, Country Steak House.
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] Have you tried it?
[speaker002:] I've been, I've been there twice, uh-huh, yeah, so.
[speaker001:] We like it because it's fairly reasonable and they have, we go for the salad bar.
[speaker002:] Salad bar, yes.
