I've been reading this boards for years, enjoying everyone else's reports and now it's finally my turn! We just returned from 5 days of Deluxe Dining with lots of pictures and very full stomachs. Here's our cast of characters:
Me, 43. I am a pretty adventurous eater, love seafood and steak and all those veggies everyone else seems to turn their nose up at. I do not however love tomatoes. I will eat them, but avoid them wherever possible. This makes Italian dining a challenge. I am an over planner, I poured over the boards and menus and changed reservations about a dozen times before we left .... and still ending up making changes once we were there. This is our first trip in 4 years and our first time on the dining plan so it was a bit of a learning experience for us too.
DH, 38 Dyed in the wool carnivore. Loves beef, his three favorite food groups are spaghetti, burgers and steak lol. Not big on vegetables, won't touch chicken, fish or seafood. Is not as picky as it sounds though, usually willing to try new things, as long as they don't revolve around his forbidden meats.
DS1, 13. AKA The Stomach. This kid is never full. He ate 2 entire chickens by himself at Medieval Times when he was two, and hasn't slowed down since. Puberty has only exacerbated the situation. Loves pizza, burgers and fries like most teenagers but loves to try new things too. He is a budding foodie who often reads the restaurant boards here with me. He's also the kid in every family picture making a face or putting rabbit ears behind his little brother.
DS2, 11 Always wants to try the most unusual thing on the menu. Is especially fond of seafood, crepes. Has Asperger's but surprisingly his sensory issues do not extend to food. Not fond of spicy foods, but will try almost anything once. Tended to have a meltdown every day at lunch. I have some great pictures of the back of his head.
Our Restaurant selections went like this:
Crystal Palace, breakfast
Whispering Canyon Cafe, lunch
O'hana, dinner
Le Cellier, lunch
Tutto Italia, dinner
50's Prime Time Cafe, lunch
Raglan Road, dinner
1900 Park Fare, breakfast
Rose and Crown, dinner
Yak and Yeti, lunch
Les Chefs de France, dinner
