[speaker001:] do you have any favorite restaurants in the area
[speaker002:] oh yes I love uh Mexican and uh Oriental foods
[speaker001:] oh okay sounds great
[speaker002:] both so uh I could say Enchiladas down on Greenville Avenue in Dallas Texas
[speaker001:] I've been there
[speaker002:] is uh a real good Mexican and we like uh stir fry Hunan style over in Addison
[speaker001:] uh-huh have you ever tried the Blue Goose on Greenville Avenue
[speaker002:] oh yeah yeah I enjoy
[speaker001:] they serve a lot of food
[speaker002:] and good food in the Blue Goose yeah that is a good place where do you like to eat
[speaker001:] I usually go to El Chico once a week for lunch Thursdays Fridays whatever
[speaker002:] uh-huh favorite spot
[speaker001:] and uh China Market in uh Keystone
[speaker002:] oh yeah yeah that's good what what other kind of food interesting
[speaker001:] so oh I like just about everything uh sandwich shops uh Schlotzky's
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] uh restaurants that have a variety of food like uh Chili's or Bennigan's TGI Friday's
[speaker002:] uh-huh Schlotzky's is probably my favorite deli deli sandwich I guess because of the bread the uh roll
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah I go to Galligaskins' too quite a bit
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] but uh yeah Schlotzky's is unique as they say different is better
[speaker002:] sounds good that's true that is true
[speaker001:] do you typically go out uh for lunch or for dinner
[speaker002:] well both uh probably eat out for dinner say once or twice a week
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and I eat out for lunch probably three times a week
[speaker001:] yeah I usually hit the favorite lunch spots uh every week uh being El Chico and China Market
[speaker002:] so uh-huh
[speaker001:] sometimes Schlotzky's uh places like that during during lunch
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] uh I don't get out too much on the weekends but uh I'll occasionally go to an Italian restaurant or a Chinese restaurant
[speaker002:] uh-huh there is a new Italian restaurant that is really good uh on Greenville it's uh La Fontana or something like that it's right after you cross uh six thirty five on Greenville
[speaker001:] okay I've never been there
[speaker002:] it is actually the family has not been here even a year in the states
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] it's real authentic Italian food and their deserts are fabulous so if you like Italian that that's a really good place to go
[speaker001:] yeah I live up in Plano so I usually go to some place like uh A Taste of Italy
[speaker002:] uh-huh I haven't tried that is is it good
[speaker001:] uh yeah I think it's good it's uh
[speaker002:] because I live in Plano too
[speaker001:] okay I've been to uh Primavera also
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] I like that it's a little smaller and they don't have as large uh uh smoking a nonsmoking section to put it that way
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] uh so it it and it it gets gets quite crowded at at uh times especially on weekends
[speaker002:] yeah that means a lot to me too nonsmoking
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] yeah um let's see what was uh what about steaks
[speaker001:] steak oh yeah they opened up the Hoffbrau here about uh what two years ago in Plano
[speaker002:] where you use for a good steak uh-huh right
[speaker001:] and that's very good I take uh some some of my relatives there aunts and uncles a couple months ago to the Hoffbrau and they're dairy farmers so they're real picky about their steak but they were impressed
[speaker002:] uh-huh oh well that's good because I I know Steak and Ale is a favorite prime rib that they have is is usually what I get and
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] I was real pleased now I haven't had prime rib at the Hoffbrau but
[speaker001:] they don't I don't think they serve prime rib it's mostly just a steak shop uh Steak and Ale's a little more upscale than Hoffbrau
[speaker002:] really yeah yeah
[speaker001:] but the Hoffbrau's kind of neat in that they've got uh that market there too
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] and those uh shops with all the crafts so while you're waiting for uh for a seat you get to kind uh to browse around and see what what they've got in the farmer's market
[speaker002:] oh uh-huh yeah and from what I understand I know on the weekends passing there they have quite a wait
[speaker001:] they've got a wait even on weeknights uh usually between a half hour and forty five minutes
[speaker002:] well you really um
[speaker001:] so uh and it starts uh anywhere from from five o'clock on
[speaker002:] well what about fast food what do you grab you know say what's your favorite hamburger Wendy's
[speaker001:] as far as burgers uh yeah I like Wendy's uh I do not care for Burger King
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] I cannot eat their Whoppers
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] uh McDonald's I avoid I used to work there as a teenager
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so uh once you've worked in a place like that uh oh I don't know you don't I'm kind of reluctant to go back
[speaker002:] yeah I can understand that
[speaker001:] I know how the food is prepared
[speaker002:] yeah well I don't know Wendy's I think Wendy's tries to be more of a homemade burger so it's to me it's probably a little bit better you know an
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] maybe it's an adult hamburger
[speaker001:] yeah uh Arby's is good too except I don't care for the roast beef the chicken is good
[speaker002:] place uh-huh uh-huh well I like just about any kind of food I can usually I can eat anything any at anytime so usually whatever my friends want to go eat it suits me just fine an
[speaker001:] uh-huh they're opening up a new restaurant in about a month uh in Keystone called Razzoo's it's going to be a Cajun restaurant
[speaker002:] oh is that where the Flamingo was okay I noticed they were redoing that
[speaker001:] right same building Flang Flamingo used to be the Cactus before that
[speaker002:] oh gosh
[speaker001:] but the Flamingo never quite made it I went there one time an was not impressed
[speaker002:] uh-huh I've never been there now this new one is Razzoo's
[speaker001:] Razzoo's
[speaker002:] oh Cajun
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] well is that a chain or
[speaker001:] I don't think so um it it looks brand new in fact we stopped by one time at lunch to uh talk to the guy who is redoing it and uh he was real excited and gung ho
[speaker002:] huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] they've got their chef and their recipes all lined up and they're ready to start business
[speaker002:] well good deal
[speaker001:] but they're renovating the place right now it will take about another month I guess before they open up
[speaker002:] I'll have to try that what about that Italian there have you tried that uh-huh
[speaker001:] Eduardo's yeah I I went there a couple of times I was there for the grand opening
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] a friend of mine and myself were the second and third customers he had at that the restaurant
[speaker002:] oh my gosh
[speaker001:] but uh it's a little heavy for lunch
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you get yeah too much pasta
[speaker002:] a lot of food uh-huh
[speaker001:] I I don't really care for that type of food for lunch
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] so usually a sandwich uh maybe uh well El Chico once a week or once every other week something like that
[speaker002:] uh-huh soup yeah yeah Super Salads is a favorite place to hit too yeah
[speaker001:] Super Salads is good
[speaker002:] one of those things you got to go early you know to find a seat yeah
[speaker001:] yeah they get crowded real quick the crowd's a little dressier too more of a yuppie crowd
[speaker002:] yeah  let's see uh fish as far as fish I think my favorite place is uh Dinger's over over on Forest Lane
[speaker001:] Dinger's I've never tried that okay
[speaker002:] oh it's very good very good matter of fact it's right by the TI plant that little shopping center
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] it's pretty good and
[speaker001:] yeah I stop by uh oh what's the name of this place Long John Silvers every now and then
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker001:] for uh fish greasy fish
[speaker002:] great yeah yeah yeah
[speaker001:] but every now and then you get into the mood for something like that
[speaker002:] uh-huh also in the shopping center you know where BG's uh Zaks is that little craft shopping center
[speaker001:] yeah I sure do
[speaker002:] there's a a home if you want just like a plate you know home cooked meal that's good it's called BG's and every day they have like a plate lunch special and it's fairly cheap it's like two ninety five or three fifty
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and it's real good so
[speaker001:] I don't think I've ever heard of that before
[speaker002:] that's oh it's just kind of a mom and pop restaurant that's uh vegetables like a couple vegetables and a meat an and roll and
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] quick usually really quick too so
[speaker001:] what do you think about Korean food
[speaker002:] I have never tried any
[speaker001:] there is a place called the Korean Rib on uh I think it's on Alma
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] or is it on Custer it's up here in Plano anyway
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and uh it's very good I uh really thought it was well it's it's a lot like Chinese food
[speaker002:] I was going to say how does it compare are the spices different
[speaker001:] um I it well they have different dishes uh it's not so much just a lot of rice with uh with something dumped on top they uh
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] uh they've they've got more type uh specialty type uh meals I guess you'd say
[speaker002:] oh okay more like an entree
[speaker001:] yeah uh
[speaker002:] and and vegetable
[speaker001:] uh-huh something like that yeah
[speaker002:] okay okay
[speaker001:] I've also tried uh a Korean restaurant in Dallas uh I can't remember what it's called but they have a dish called uh B Bim Bap
[speaker002:] B Bim Bap
[speaker001:] it's uh vegetables with uh fried egg on top
[speaker002:] how wild
