[speaker001:] all right what what uh what are some of your favorite places to uh eat at
[speaker002:] uh Royal Tokyo
[speaker001:] Royal Tokyo uh-huh
[speaker002:] uh-huh um Benihana's
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] enchiladas
[speaker001:] oh all right
[speaker002:] um and actually Red Lobster so what about you
[speaker001:] oh yeah well I'm a vegetarian so uh my places are somewhat my my my choices are somewhat limited uh but my very favorite is the Olive Garden I think uh if or or else uh uh El Chico's if I have if I had my choice that's where I like to go
[speaker002:] oh really
[speaker001:] yeah I haven't been in Dallas for very long and so I don't know you know too many places to eat
[speaker002:] yeah uh I guess that would be really hard being vegetarian less
[speaker001:] but uh it it it is a little bit uh you know there are at almost every restaurant there are uh things to eat it's just depends on you know whether whether what you really want to eat is there
[speaker002:] yeah yeah I could appreciate that
[speaker001:] yeah are are you a vegetarian also or
[speaker002:] uh no no I'm I do eat meat um-hum
[speaker001:] oh oh yeah oh
[speaker002:] I guess being brought up that way I do have a tendency though toward chicken and fish seafood
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker002:] so um what made you choose to be a vegetarian
[speaker001:] well uh several reasons um um most most importantly I have a uh uh disease in in both of uh in in all of my joints that uh in in which arthritis is a big factor
[speaker002:] ah
[speaker001:] and uh several reports uh in the last five years have given validity to the uh to the to the theory that that uh vegetarian diet diet greatly reduces the pain involved with uh arthritis
[speaker002:] oh have you found that to be true
[speaker001:] yeah it really it really does work um even to the point now where uh I'm able to run you know to go out running or jogging on a a periodic basis which which was impossible before yeah uh yeah it it it really has helped uh unfortunately um
[speaker002:] oh well that's great
[speaker001:] I still I I can't give up uh milk
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] so so I drink uh I drink skim milk but if I had my way I'd drink a gallon gallon a day so but but my my restaurant choices then uh
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] I guess since I've uh been a vegetarian I've loved fettucini alfredo and so and so ah but any place I go that has that that's what that's what I eat it doesn't doesn't matter
[speaker002:] oh uh-huh oh well then there's a real good restaurant you should try it's called Rocco's
[speaker001:] Rocco's
[speaker002:] uh-huh it's off of six thirty five and I believe it's Centerville
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] you can see it from six thirty five it's east of Central Expressway
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] and it's an Italian place
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and they have really really good food nice healthy portions and they're really at reasonably priced
[speaker001:] oh really uh-huh oh good yeah um I'll try that out
[speaker002:] yeah it's uh yeah my husband matter of fact he works for TI but he and I went there and they have got some of the best bread garlic bread we've ever had and uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh really
[speaker002:] I think I did have I don't know if it was uh alfredo I might have had the parmigiana
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] but it was really good
[speaker001:] yeah what makes you go back to a restaurant
[speaker002:] um the food first of all yeah um and then service if the if the personnel there are really attentive and if they
[speaker001:] really yeah
[speaker002:] if they really act like they care I mean whether they do or not but if they if they act like they do then those are those are two big things that really make me wanna go back to a restaurant
[speaker001:] uh-huh right yeah uh-huh
[speaker002:] and what about you
[speaker001:] uh I I think more than anything else uh the atmosphere
[speaker002:] oh really
[speaker001:] yeah ah which I think you know the the service the the service is is a big part of but but uh
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] my very favorite place in the world to eat uh believe it or not is in I went to school in Abilene to uh and and there's a place there's a little restaurant there called the Oxford ah the ah Oxford Street which ah
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] the food is okay uh uh and uh you know it's it's on the better side of good
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and the service is okay but the atmosphere is just beautiful it's uh you you know it looks like an an old English uh home with uh you know the high back leather chairs and uh uh
[speaker002:] oh okay
[speaker001:] the cloth the cloth the cloth uh you know how they cloth the walls with with that tapestry cloth it has that it's it's just really nice and I like to eat in there just because I like the feeling in there
