When you have dinner at a new restaurant, do you order something that you are familiar with or try something different?
I try to get something different every time, until I run out of menu items to try!
I will be adventurous, I love trying new foods and new restaurants. If it is ethnic food that I am not familiar with I will ask the waitstaff for recommendations. I am not into hot spiced foods, but less spicy is OK. If it is a homestyle or American restaurant I will go with what I wouldn't usually cook for myself. If I have time before I get there I will check out the menu online (if I can) to get an idea of what I want to order.
