| Last time I was at Cookout, the young lady at the window was sporting a nose ring and a lip ring, and fingernails about an inch long. The fingernails are what really got to me. Guess she doesn't cook as well, and maybe she's no longer there, but it kinda turned me off. I've heard the milkshakes are good.

Sorry it took me so long to answer you DToney! I was MIA on an Iceberg or something... I forget.
Anyway, the Backyard Burger joint is just past I-40 on the right. You keep driving on 68 like you are intending to go to High Point and it'll be there right after the Ruby Tuesday's intersection.

We don't eat out a lot, mainly reserve it for special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, etc), so when we do we try to make it count!
Our younger son always wants to go to Rio Grande, which we all enjoy. (Yummy Margaritas ) Our older son like Japanese restaurants, and we've tried 3 different ones in G'boro. Last night we went to Arigato's at the corner of Holden and Patterson and enjoyed it very much.
In the past month we've eaten out a lot and enjoyed them all... Scott had a meeting at Ham's on Church Street and took his sister who was visiting from out of town. They enjoyed their sandwiches as well as the homemade chips.
We also took out of town relatives to Country BBQ on Wendover and enjoyed it. We used to eat there a lot but it isn't as convenient to where we are as it once was.
This weekend we went to Laddie and Dukes (I had a yummy Chicken Alfredo dish and they also had good homemade chips). We also went to Elizabeth's (had relatives visiting from out of town) and I think we all ordered something different and enjoyed it all.
For something different, you might want to watch for the special dinners they have at Stonefield Cellars, the winery here in Stokesdale. You can to to their web site to find out about them, and you can get on an e-mail list and they'll send you notices about them. Scott and I went to one a couple of weeks ago and it was great! The food was cooked and served by the folks at 123 South Elm Street. They did a great job of pairing the food with the wines.
So, I guess we've used up our quota of getting to eat out for a while! Of course, we do have an anniversary coming up....

| I was at Arigato's recently and enjoyed it too! They serve a little dessert thingy Mon-Thurs along with your meal -- some kind of vanilla pastry. ALSO, when we were there their sanitation grade was 100.5!! ♥♥♥

I forgot to respond to this Starcatchr, but to me, that's just nasty and highly unappetizing. I think the girl you are talkin g about works the window on the right of the building. I've seen her. I just go to the window on the left.
The milkshakes are yummy!

As I mentioned earlier, Scott and I had an anniversary. Yesterday, Aug. 10, was our 20th! As usual, we decided to go to a nice restaurant to celebrate. This year we chose Leblon Brazilian Steakhouse, located at 4512 West Market (between Montrose and Holden, near Walker Avenue. Amalfi Harbor is beside it.) We had never been before, but had heard about it. Orson Scott Card mentions it in his Ender series of books and he always raves about it. We made reservations but I'm not sure we needed them.
You have unlimited access to a fabulous salad bar that includes the basic ingredients as well as smoked salmon, artichoke hearts, asparagus spears, among other items. The restaurant is set up in true Brazilian style, evidently. {Their brochure says "Experience an authentic Brazilian Steakhouse.") They bring skewers of 10 different meats to your table and keep bringing them until you tell them to stop. Meats are Picanha (special cut from the rump roast), Alcatra (full top sirloin), Fraldinha (bottom sirloin), Filet Com Bacon (beef tenderloin with bacon), Picanha Com Alho (rump roast cut with garlic), Costela De Porco (pork ribs), Lombinho Com Queijo (pork loin with Parmesan -- my favorite), Sasichao (pork sausage), Pernil De Cordeiro (leg of lamb), and Lmbinho (pork loin). Servers also bring sides of potatoes, fried bananas and cheese bread to your table.
This is all offered at a fixed price of $25.95 for adults, $15.95 for children 10 and under, and $8.95 for children 5 and under. There were two large groups of families when we were there, as well as small groups. Beverages, desserts, tax and gratuity are not included in the fixe price. They also offer private dining rooms downstairs. It was very attractive, with hardwood floors and nice lighting and artwork. Service was excellent. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to go again. (I have a birthday coming up! We told the kids about it and they think it sounds like a good idea!!)

uh whats there sanitation score? Speaking of sanitary we went to the Sanitary rest. in Morehead City, another place to never go back to, overpriced food was mediocre and not much of it.The iced tea was sweetened with honey. I guess Stokesdales own fire dept. bbq hushpuppies have spoiled me , have never found any that were even close to them. Also went to the Channel Marker in Atlantic Beach highly recommend it , grilled yellowfin tuna was great and priced the same as the Sanitary.
