I’ve been keeping a list of restaurants to try for a while now in Notes app. Our family eats out Saturday night and we rotate who gets to choose the restaurant. This list is mostly to help me choose a spot when it’s my turn, but some of them are too expensive for the weekly dinner out, and others may just not fit the kids’ tastes. So it’s become a catchall for family dinner + new spots I’d like to try.
My friend, John, expressed interest in the list, so I figured I’d keep up with it publicly, here.
- Rusty Taco, Summerhill (ended up trying the newer location in Decatur)
