Hello,
My wife and I have determined there is at least one thing we both excel at. Yes, eating, but more importantly, finding good food and sharing the experience with our friends. Of course we are not journalists or food critics, but we do have a knack of finding the good places. Maybe it is the sense of culinary adventure.
We're in our mid-forties and have a teenage son. Finding places where we all find something we like isn't easy. Maybe your family has to play the "where are we going to eat" game too. You know, "Where do you want to eat?"; followed by a series of "I don't cares". The problem is that my wife is eager to try new dishes, whereas I tend to like comfort foods primarily. I'm not just a meat and potatoes guy, but unfortunately for me, I have bit of a domestic range of flavors I like. Our son, to the extreme, is a typical teen and has about five things he likes to eat.
So we're guessing there are a lot of you out there like us. Maybe if we do a good job of sharing our experiences, you'll save your family some of those "I don't care" conversations.
