Good Sunday morning to folks here.
Oreo showed up this morning for a quick breakfast, then he was gone. Sheba
was not with him.

I have to share this...
STORY TIME
We decided to cash out our <restaurant which will remain nameless> gift cards
because scuttlebutt has it the last one in our tri-county area may be closing.
(Hubs is stuck with some Ruby Tuesdays because they simply closed up ALL their
branches here at once... closest one now in Buffalo.)
I had $25. He had $100.
He told me ahead of time how he planned to use all that $$$. I suggested he
order a couple things, then ask for the rest as take-out. No. Oh no, cannot
do that. "Takeout orders are smaller than in-house", he says.
I had an iced tea and 2 appetizers. Still had to put in an extra $7.
*HE* orders SIX appetizers AND an entree. I was looking for a hole in which
to crawl.
So... the "food bringers" (which is not the waitperson anymore)... 4 of them...
all descend on the general area and look quite puzzled. There is no large party
to be seen for the EIGHT appetizers. They all go away, with the food.
They were sent back to our (smallish) table with 8 appetizers.
Two of the apps had to be placed on the windowsill for lack of room. I was
looking for a paper shopping bag to put over my head... simply mortified.
People at nearby tables were staring at us. And giggling.
All I did was keep looking down at my food, avoiding eye contact with anybody.
THEN someone brings his entree. Like there's all kinds of room for fajita stuff,
the tortillas, and all the condiments (THREE more plates). Of course, the fajita
was SIZZLING LOUDLY, calling even MORE attention to our table.
See... THAT is the kind of stuff, up with which I must put.

I have to ask: Why would your first guess be Chili's??? The fajita?
Yep. But it's certainly not exclusive to them.
I "went big [chain]" because otherwise....hard to guess.

And you already mentioned "Ruby Tuesday's" so maybe you biased me.
Could be some local pub, Mex joint, whatever.
Whomever knows you and gives gift cards, and/or you're stocking up on cards for each other with discounts...(you know, buy $100, get $20)

Yes. Chili's.
I very much DO like their nachos. The first time I EVER had nachos, they were
SINGULAR tortilla chips each topped separately. NOT the big pile 'o chips covered
with everything... leaving bare chips at the bottom. That's just lazy. And, Chili's
beef seasoning is good, to me.
I looked forward to it.
Until HE did what HE did.
I wanted to croak.

OK, so next time *he* does that you could just whip out the cell phone (because I know how much you LOVE cell phones at dinner) and pretend to be online restaurant reviewers. You'll prolly get better service too. Just take lots of pictures of the food on the plates. And pretend to take notes.
P.S.
You might be able to do that for real and get bonus things if you sign up for it first.
