Well, it was bound to happen…I had my first bad restaurant
experience. It probably wouldn’t have been too upsetting, but in addition to
the fact that we very rarely go out to eat, we went to one of our favorite
restaurants thinking I wouldn’t have any problems finding food I would eat and
love.
One of my favorite dishes I make (Stuffed Poblano Peppers)
is inspired by a dish that I love to order at this particular restaurant. I
knew it would need some things omitted but one of the things I love the most is
the grilled vegetables it comes with, so I couldn’t wait.
It’s too long to get into details, but the bottom line was a
combination of not having a great waitress to start paired with my being so
disappointed by the entire experience that I didn’t even want to get into the
complications of sending it back. Hubs was mad (such a good Hubs) because he so clearly heard me
ask the waitress for ‘no cheese, sour cream, or anything dairy’, only to be
given a plate coated with cream sauce and mozzarella cheese. But that’s a
customer service issue and a whole different conversation.
Thankfully I had a nice batch of cashew cheese, black bean
salsa and avocado waiting for me at home. Next time I’ll just stick to what I
know best – salsa, black beans, avocado, rice and tortillas (hmmm, that sounds
good right now). Another restaurant, another time.
