Sunday Five - Out to Eat


We were in Philadelphia a month ago (my how time flies) and on the last morning, we checked out of the hotel, checked the bags, and went out for a walk.  We had a 1:00 PM train back to Alexandria, Virginia (the nearest Amtrak station to home.) It was an odd time, like 10:30, a couple of places where closed, a couple of places were transitioning between breakfast and lunch.  I spotted the Ritz Carlton Hotel and knew instantly, they will have a nice breakfast, it won't be cheap, but the food and service will be good.  Hence this weeks Sunday Five.

1: If you go out to breakfast, what is your go-to item to order? 
2: What is most you have ever paid for a cheeseburger and fries? 
3: Have you ever had beer and cold pizza for breakfast? 
4: Is there a restaurant brand you refuse to eat at? 
5: What was the last restaurant you ate out at? 

My Answers:
1: If you go out to breakfast, what is your go-to item to order?  Eggs benedict 
2: What is most you have ever paid for a cheeseburger and fries? $25 at Bobby Van's Steak House in DC, worth every penny. 
3: Have you ever had beer and cold pizza for breakfast? No, on the list of things to do someday, but I don't really drink beer very often. 
4: Is there a restaurant brand you refuse to eat at? Chick-Fil-A,  I try not to support business that support hate groups. 
5: What was the last restaurant you ate out at?  The Haven Pizza, lunch with my sweet bear.  

Please share your answers in the comments.
