This has been the wierdest damned week for us in terms of restaurants.

Tuesday night was the infamous Italian Grill episode and was a definable low point in dining.
Wednesday night, we used coupons for two free meals at another local eatery that we don't frequent as often because of their growing college student atmosphere. However, on this particular night, the food and service were unbelievably great, and we walked out of there impressed.
Friday for lunch we ate at the Tex-Mex place I mentioned, and it was rock-solid as usual.

However, today (Saturday) was the topper. Our local Outback offered a rare lunch buffet to benefit the Red Cross for tsunami victims. It was $20 apiece all you can eat, and most of you know that Outback doesn't serve lunch. This was "increible!" They started us off with a blooming onion. My first time through the line, I got ceaser salad, chicken fingers, top sirloin steak strips, grilled chicken strips, and grilled vegetables. My second time through, I got more top sirloin strips, more grilled chicken, more grilled vegetables, and a separate plate of Aussie chips (fries). My THIRD time through, I repeated my second plate minus the fries. Then I passed out.

I've never eaten food at Outback that was so scrumptious. In addition to the usual Outback waiters, there were dozens of Red Cross volunteers refreshing our drinks and taking away our empty plates. The Outback employees served the food at the buffet so that no one took more than they could eat, and everybody really had their hearts into it because of the good cause we were supporting.

This may have been the best meal I've ever eaten. And what a way to end a week of dining that started out so horribly.
