what up

good morning east tennessee. i really have nothing to say besides the normal, like why dont people use their turn signals and why can't students look up before they cross in front of the CAR. how come students have the right of way and feel like they don't even have to look up from their texting to cross the street? the same students drive their car out of the parking lot and look at me like i'm crazy when they zoom by me while i'm in the crosswalk.

let's move on to something i really know about, - food. i have eaten at the new cheddars restaurant here in k-town and it is fantastic. i had a wonderful mushroom swiss burger and some great onion rings. i wasn't expecting too much from the onion rings because they were beer battered but they were amazing. if you like chicken tenders this is the place for you, 2 of my friends got the chicken tenders and they looked amazing and they give you a PILE.

i have also found a good new Chinese place. now i know that chinese restaurants are on every corner and i love chinese food so it takes a lot to surprise me but the Chef Ben restaurant near the fountain city duck pond is wonderful. i have had the tso chicken, the chicken broccoli and steamed pork dumplings. the tso was some of the best i've ever had and the chick broc was good, the dumplings were full of pork only, no veggie filler for these dumplings. excellent restaurant.

i have been loving the salad and soup at jason's deli on the strip. the last time i had the seafood gumbo with my salad and the gumbo was very fishy which is the way i like a seafood gumbo! the only complaint about the salad bar is the lack of chick peas/garbanzo beans. i mean good Lord, they have hummus on the bar so why not save some of the garbanzos and put them out. i saw an amazing corned beef sammich that i have to try sometime. also the muffaletta looks good if that is the way to spell it.

since i know food let me tell you about the cheap pizza. i have found that little caesars is the best value and taste you can find. 5 bucks for a one topping pizza that is usually fresh is an unheard of price. they also have an 8 dollar meat or supreme pizza, that's stretching pizza price deal a little. it is so convenient to stop by and pick up about 4 pepp pizzas on the way home to my sisters house. that's right i live with my sister but that is another story for another time. the fat man is talking about food right now and there are not many restaurants that i have not tried. i saw a commercial for a new fish sammich at wendys and was thinking the thing to make it stand out from other fish sammiches is to add red lobster tartar sauce, that is the best tartar sauce known to man. i know good tartar sauce when i eat it. captains d's sauce is good, long johns is too lemony but red lobster is perfect. i better go do some work now.
