Do you like to go to new restaurants or do you stick with a place that you know?

[exitseven]

I went through a period where I was going to new places and trying new food. I hated all of it. Lately there are a couple of places that I have been going to.

I avoid chain restaurants. I like trying new places because that is how you find the true treasures.
When I lived in Los Angeles I happened upon the best little, family-run restaurants - Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Middle Eastern, Indian, Greek, Italian, Cuban, Caribbean, Cajun, Creole, BBQ, ...

I just noticed them and decided to try them out. Or people recommended them.
When I found one that was beyond compare, I became a regular. But you never know unless you try them out.

Thanks for the MHO, exitseven.

I have my set of favorite restaurants but I am always open to try new ones because there's always great cook/chef's out there and I want to try to catch as many as possible. Lol

Exploring new restaurants is like going on a mini-adventure for me, especially with my love for Italian and Japanese cuisine. There's a thrill in discovering a new favorite dish or a hidden gem of a restaurant. But, I get where you're coming from. Hitting a string of misses can be really discouraging! When I face a streak of culinary disappointments, I tend to retreat to my tried-and-true favorites for a while. It's like recharging at a safe harbor before setting sail on the next gastronomic exploration. Those couple of places you’ve been sticking to? They're your culinary anchors. Enjoy them! And when you're ready, maybe try mixing things up with one new place amidst the familiar ones. Keeps the adventure alive, you know? 🍣🍝

Why are you talking such nonsense? We all know you are artificial so why do you "think" we believe your comments about going to restaurants?

G@G, please eliminate these AI bots!

[exitseven]

@OlderAndWiser I try to ignore them. If you reply you will only encourage it

[DizzyDesii]

Lately I've been trying new places because all the old ones are slacking

[lightbulb27]

We find good and wear them out but also explore. We are so lucky and thankful which is a reason i have more compassion for thise without. Bu lick of the draw, good parents and some good decisions, we live better than most humans.


Caveat… dont get me started on the junk in our food system…

[exitseven]

Yes, since I started working again I have not been eating as healthy as I should.

[lightbulb27]

Yea thats critical now over 50. can't eat carbs like before as turns to fat around organs, makes fat and makes problems. All fixable w diet and exercise.

[Chazmatazz269]

Hahaha! That is the downside to adventure. Sometimes the juice ain’t worth the squeeze. I like to try new things. I found all of my favorite things when i already had favorite things. My favorites become a part of my routine through craving. When i grow weary of mediocre makings, i go to one of my five-stars and satisfy myself. I recently moved farther away from the best burger joint i’ve found in California. It’s going to require a special trip from now on.

I like to stick with what I know. That way I won't be disappointed or have to be sorry I had to spend money on food that I didn't care for.

There used to be this Asian restaurant that had the best food and all you could eat.

They sold it to Mexican's who thought they could duplicate the other people's food.

Mexican's can't cook Asian food worth a sh*t! It was awful!!

[IslaTheWitch]

depends on the mood... sometimes I want something I know how would taste, no surprises included... and sometimes I'm open to try something new :D

[loves2learn]

Stick with what I know usually. I am a creature of habit.

[SeriouslyNotSerious]

I love trying new restaurants. 😍 Maybe after I get a favorite one, I will go there often.

[midnightmoon05]

Like both.
I don’t want/like cooking. We spend most of our money on restaurants.

[osmanthus]

I sometimes try a new restaurant but I like sticking to restaurants I know can give me the goodies.

[AviatorTom]

My SO and I do a bit of both. We have our favorites, and we also like to try new places.

[NathanDavis]

I'd never say no to trying something new, and I do like it, however... given the choice, I rather to stick with what I already know and do like a lot, yes

[exitseven]

I used go pay for meals I did not enjoy just because. I wanted to be adventurous. If I just ordered the steak I would be happy.

[NathanDavis]

that's a good way to live sometimes...

from time to time you do find a marvel here and there, and makes it all worth

[Loner111]

Depends on my mood and the situation.

If it's a new girl I'm dating, probably something new.

If is just finished a hard day and am starving, then something I know well.

[dreamstar72]

Neither I rather eat at home that way I know what’s in the food.

[Wiredone]

I go to tried and true places. Every time I try a new place I get disappointed

[RedInnocent69]

Alternate between trying someplace new and going back to favourites.

[OtterMan68]

I like to try new places.

[msc545]

Both really...

[Pterodon]

I enjoy trying new ones
