Scratching an itch. I finally went to my friend's new restaurant.

While my car was being "diagnosed" the other day, I cycled over to my friend's new Thai restaurant. She ran the place near my house for years, and then let her brother take that one over. She then opened a new place up a couple of miles away in Concord.
The food there is just as good as at the other place. She came out and sat with me for awhile. I had Thai soup and spring rolls, along with a beer. I brought the extra spring rolls home with me and had them for dinner-yummy!
Have you tried any new restaurants lately. I'll probably still visit the older place more than the newer one, but it was good to see my friend.

Thai food is really good, but the first time I had it, it nearly set my mouth on fire..somebody should have warned me! New restaurants, not really..I guess the last newish place I went to was The Cove, which I have only been to, once or twice before since it opened under new management.

@TheHorse Cove just your basic American food, nothing fancy really.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it. We recently had a bad meal at one of our favorite restaurants.

@Tampa_girl7 Eeps. What was "bad"? Mexican food is often similar ingredients with slightly different presentation/cooking.

@wolfgirl569 Is that a diet thing? I like meat and taters too.

I bet my husband would like the soup, as long as it did not have tofu in it.We have not tried anything new lately. I am actually trying to eliminate as much as possible, eating out. I find I feel better and my health is better as well as my pocket if we eat at home.

Did the rolls really come with a spring in them? 
Truth be told, I have so many food allergies that I’m scared to try things that aren’t “tried and true” for me.

When I visited Norfolk, VA at the end of May my son and I tried several of the local independent eateries. Here in town, most of the new places are chain stores and I've tried a few. Firehouse Subs was okay. I wasn't impressed with Chipolte.

No new restaurants, but new dishes now that my husband can't have anything with gluten. I'm cooking more at home and discovering some dishes that are pretty good.

@TheHorse I've tried different products and it's a different taste, but some GF foods are better than the regular. The difference is that GF foods use other grains for flour instead of wheat.

Sounds like she made an success of her place and it was time to open a new one. Is the food the same near your house? I bet she was happy to see you too. I have not eaten out since June and that was not a new place. A friend and I celebrate our birthdays and cannot when we usually do so went in June instead.

I love Thai food! Last night we went to a county fair near the beach - and ended up having dinner at the nearby pier (the only restaurant there). It was actually quite yummy - had the Thai mahi mahi (with red curry, vegetables and rice).
