It is going on 6 months… my frequent flyer fast food points are expiring! I am getting emails telling me to stop in soon before my free pizzas, wings etc. expire. Umm, no thanks.
Back in small town Burlington, Iowa we were “blessed” with a remarkable array of chain restaurants. Working for a living meant food was many times consumed with speed in mind. A necessary task to be completed. We had only two favorite places we normally enjoyed meals on a slower basis. Most of the time when going out, lunch, and sometimes dinner meant Buffalo Wild Wings, Panera Bread, Wendy’s, Culver’s, Pizza Hut, Domino’s, Burger King, Taco John’s, McDonald’s, Jimmy John’s, Subway, Arby’s.
I am happy to report, that going on 6 months now… I have not eaten any of this food! None. Zero.
Eating is now a joy, not a task.
When we choose to eat away from home, it is all about the experience. The delight of new food, fresh local food, new locations, friendly people. Each place unique.
We have escaped the chains. Food freedom!
