Red Lobster

Everyone loves Red Lobster right? I love Red Lobster, especially when they offer their Endless Shrimp special (which... they just happen to be offering right now!) for $15.99. I haven't had a bad meal here, ever. I would say it is my favorite nationwide-chain seafood restaurant. The prices can hurt a bit, though. That's why I love the Endless Shrimp special. It is what it sounds like, all you can eat. The last time I went, they had five different shrimp entree choices, my favorites in order being 1) Garlic Shrimp Scampi 2) Parmesan Shrimp 3) Hand Breaded Shrimp 4) Shrimp Linguini Alfredo 5) Sweet and Spicy Grilled Shrimp. You start out with two, then order one refill at a time. You can order your first refill when they bring you your initial two. The pictures below (that last picture got distorted somehow) show all five entrees, the scampi making two appearances that night! I also love Red Lobster's garlic cheddar biscuits they serve you while you wait!

The Angry Whopper

Burger King occasionally releases the Angry Whopper for a limited time. I am a huge fan of this burger. It is like a regular Whopper, except with the addition of "angry onions", jalapenos, pepper jack cheese, bacon, and their "angry" sauce. The commercial would make you believe that it is super-hot, but I think it's pretty mild, not very "angry" at all. My forehead barely gets wet when I eat one. It is really tasty, though... one of my favorite fast-food burgers. As with any fast-food burger, however, the real thing doesn't look anything like the advertisement picture as you can see.

Taqueria Jalisco

Clovis, New Mexico is a place I occasionally find myself in for work. Generally speaking the service at restaurants in this town is the worst you will ever experience. There are a few exceptions, though. Taqueria Jalisco is an authentic Mexican food restaurant located in downtown Clovis. I try to hit this restaurant every time I make a trip there. When the owner (I assume she is the owner) is there, the service is extraordinary. They bring you chips and some of the best salsa right away and the food is cooked fresh and very fast. I have had some lacking service when the "owner" isn't there. Every dish I have ordered there is wonderful, but especially the carnitas platter, which is fried shredded pork, served with rice, avocado, and Mexican salad. I also love the carne al pastor platter (second picture) which is similar to the carnitas platter except they marinate the carne in their red sauce, and it turns out very tasty and juicy. All their food is reasonably priced, usually platters under $10. I love this place!
