Restaurant Disclaimer

Before I go any further into restaurants, here is the disclaimer.

I am picky. I grew up with two parents who cook "gourmet," although their definitions of that are very different, and one, at least, would be offended by the designation (the trials of having parents!). I prefer to eat fresh food, and organic, if possible. I like to cook, and love to bake, and am sometimes (regularly) good at it.

I eat out ALL the time. Way too often, really.

This might let you know why I tend to be somewhat negative about restaurants.
