i know i'm not a "foodie," but ...

i am not a foodie. i can eat the same thing day in and day out ... there are a million other things that i would do before i chose to drop $100 on myself for dinner ... i love cheeseburgers & fries, however, even i know when to get over myself and enjoy good food.

like tonight for instance. we (3 sales guys, 1 sales girl, 1 marketing guy, and one marketing guy's girlfriend) went to a very lovely restaurant in chicago. it was a swanky place ... the average entree was in the neighborhood of $50 + $10 for a salad + $5 for veggies, etc.

in addition to the myriad of steaks & filets, there was an expansive selection of seafood, poultry (or fowl) and pasta. something for everyone ...there was a cheeseburger on the menu ... for kids, i'm sure, however, you never know. i would NEVER order a cheeseburger in a restaurant such as this ... however, much to my surprise, the girlfriend did.

to top it off, she chose pomme frites for her appetizer!!!! and potatoes au gratin for her side dish! one of the sales guys asked her if she was 12. even i was embarassed for her.

so, if you must know, i had the filet ... which was one of the best i've ever eaten ... and asparagus.

ps. joe - i ordered the filet "medium" so i wouldn't get an ass cut of beef.
