The Missing Ws

We have some nice restaurants in town.

There is nothing like a home-cooked meal.  We have most of our meals at home, and go out only once or twice a week. Like anyone else, when we do go out, we have our favorites.

For fast food restaurants  it is hard to pass up the Chick-fil-A sandwich at Chic-fil-A.  I also like the Beef-n-Cheddar at Arby's, the McRib at McDonald's, or the Italian Chicken Sandwich at Burger King.

But for a top to bottom selection, including some healthier substitutes, I really like Wendy's.  Get a grilled chicken sandwich and a side salad, and you have a darn fine meal.  Although I like fries (all too well), it is nice to have some good substitutes to them.

Alas, though, our Wendy's has been taken down and is being remodeled.  It won't open again until some time next month.  When it reopens my understanding it will take on slightly fancier airs, more like a Ruby Tuesdays, which I guess make it a Wendy Wednesdays.

Of course, with it being gone right now, I can't stop thinking about it, craving it.

We have a number of fine regular restaurants too. Rodeo offers great food, and makes Benjamin a quesadilla just the way he likes it (chicken and cheese only, with a bottle of hot sauce on the side) and always have ketchup for me. Applebee's has improved their menu and service, and offer healthier alternatives. Cavagnero's Italian is superior to Olive Gardens.

But the best service and most enticing menu items come from Wong's.  And they have been gone since late last year due to a fire.  They are in the process of rebuilding, and hopefully will be reopened in the next month or so.  Then we will be able to get Wonton Soup and Sesame Chicken and the Chinese Donuts and countless other items.  And with the ultimate in service anywhere, you can have anything fixed or customized anyway you want it, at the best prices anywhere.

Of course, with it being gone right now, I can't stop thinking about it, craving it.

There is a W open in Waycross that I have yet to try.  It is the Waycross Diner, and it is operated by Nadine  Borrelli, a fellow castmate in The Graduate.  I have heard many good things about it and will have to try it soon!  Besides, I need to add one more leg to my three legged stool of restaurants that start with W!
