are you ready
um-hum
she didn't announce that to you
oh i didn't i didn't quite hear all of it
oh i see that's fine um i think uh that's pleasurable for all of us if we choose the right restaurant
right
so what are your thoughts on dining out
well i i really choose restaurants more for the quality of food than anything else
not for the price
well a little bit for the price but uh i think that as far as quality of food goes the most some of the most expensive places i've been had the the really the the worst quality of food
okay
uh-huh
the
really okay
really um a lot of places that even don't look don't look like much some of the some of the best food i have ever had was out of a outside or inside of a place that we drove up and i was like
um-hum
i'm not eating in there are you nuts and uh we went in and it was the most it was the most wonderful food
my word it's like mama in the back kitchen huh
yeah i'm serious
oh yeah
um a lot of
uh one place that we went just recently uh was to Atchafalaya no that's not right that's not right that's not right what's the name of that restaurant
um-hum
okay
the Hari Krishna
Kalachandji's it's all vegetarian and it was just fabulous i mean my husband was aghast because i ate turnip greens and liked it
wow and where was that at
um Kalachandji's it's uh it's a Hari Krishna run restaurant
where is it in Dallas
yes
is it in the phone book
uh i think so it should be
do you know how to spell it
uh it starts with a K
okay Kalli K A L L I
so
K A L A i think C H A N D
that should get you close enough to
okay
to be able to find it i think it's uh probably listed in the restaurants you know
uh-huh section yes uh-huh
but it's uh it's just fabulous food
what about fast foods do you have a preference if you were going to eat a fast food
well we like Arby's
you do like Arby's see i don't like Arby's
as far as fast food goes oh really why
no because they use everything they can and make this into pressed whatever they use the they use the insides of the animals heart and liver and they they form it and they make it look like roast beef and i said no thank you
oh no no no someone has been lying to you what they use is roast beef
well that's not what i heard from one of somebody that was supposed to know what they were talking about
that's what
oh my goodness
uh-huh
i'm surprised my dad worked for Arby's for several years
really
yeah
unless somebody is trying to blackball them
well that's happened before but we like good uh we we're we like Mexican food
um-hum
okay
and stuff like that so um
how about the health food uh restaurants
well like this one but it's probably not advertised as such is it
or
a health food
uh-huh health food uh restaurants that
like like name one i'm not sure what you're talking about
well
well like um
well i can't really think of any off the top of my head right now because there's so few and far between but they ought there are restaurants that cater to the people that are very health conscious
you know as far as their cholesterol levels and their their fat content and you know the amount of calcium and so forth that are in each product and they list them now there's one restaurant that does that and it's called Rodolfo's over on
Preston Road and Royal Lane i believe and they have very good food over there
hum
i don't guess i've ever been to anything like that so i really don't have anything to compare it to
uh-huh uh-huh they do list um you know list the fat
it would be good i think uh i don't know how expensive they are it sounds like that it would probably
uh-huh uh-huh
well it was pretty reasonable i it was around ten dollars for lunch
okay which which is kind of high for lunch i guess
for one person
yes
oh
yes uh-huh yeah
a bit
uh but um
you were served by maitre d's and and uh um
men waiters
see i i won't really be interested in going to going there because i feel like i'm i'm paying you know five dollars for the food probably and five dollars for something that i could get along quite well without
well if you're looking for a nice
uh-hum well i guess if you were having if you were trying to impress somebody like taking somebody that you hadn't seen for a long time and wanted to show them a good restaurant it's a special occasion type thing yeah
yeah maybe maybe that yeah
yeah i could see that then maybe
uh-hum
and now the Red Lobster i found is very nice at lunchtime
yeah i like the the seafood that they when they had it you know the broiled
because they're
well they have lunch specials that you can't you can't beat that price uh if you went to a cafeteria
yeah probably that's true but i know a lot of their a lot of their specials sometimes are fried things that you can't really get away from the fried
well i had the i had a broiled chicken breast and it was excellent
it was a marinated broiled chicken breast and it was excellent
now why would you go to a seafood restaurant to eat chicken that's one of my husband's pet peeves he doesn't understand why somebody would go to a seafood place and eat either chicken or steak you know
oh it was
well i've never had catfish either in a
restaurant because i'm from the north and that was a no no and i haven't gotten over that from the north
oh really
oh catfish is wonderful oh really
i know they say that that is but i'm
really
but they've got all these caution signs now on fish
and so i kind of stay away because of all the pollution in the lakes and the
why
oh
everywhere i mean there isn't any safe haven anymore for fish
hum
i and especially uh in Wisconsin and Michigan they say don't buying of our fish
that's too bad because i'm probably not going to stop eating it
i
well
yeah so you i
and the the best brand of chicken to buy is the uh
Pilgrim Pride because they don't use all these hormones to promote uh unnatural growth in their products
uh-huh yeah
so i mean we have to be on the lookout if we want to stay healthy
that's true
so i'm i you know i
oh on one hand i see that and on the other hand uh my older sister
um-hum
remembers when uh at one point they were taking radioactive wastes
yeah
and storing them in tin barrels which i i guess had a half-life of oh five years if they sit empty on dry land
corrode
hum
so they're putting radioactive waste in it which reduces it dramatically and then they take these things that will rust and they throw them in the ocean which is going to speedup the process even more
um-hum
well i'd like to get ahold of some engineers and knock their heads together if it would do any good
oh and then they wouldn't sink they were floating around so they shot holes in them to sink them and this is before i was born
oh dear
wow
so i mean we're taking thirty years ago this happened and
sure yeah
and who's you know the tuna is radioactive
that's right everything we eat everything
to a certain extent you can't get away from it so i think
everything we eat should have a label on it yeah
to some point yeah you know so there's you know there's some things i think we can avoid we you know we can't avoid for health purposes and some things that we just need to like you know this is not in my control
well you know
so i'm either going to be i'm either going to starve to death or i'm going to get over it and just go ahead and eat as healthily as i possibly can you know
um-hum
well Becky you know even if you lived off your own land that you would have to put caution signs
