Okay, so last Friday was a little bit too hectic for me to spend time doing the Friday Five. Bite me. (Gently, though, I’m averse to pain.)

• What is your favorite restaurant and why? – The Original Hot Cake and Steak House, right next to the Ross Island bridge. Sure it’s a greasy spoon, but it’s the best damned greasy spoon known to mankind. I dare you to prove me wrong.
  
• What fast food restaurant are you partial to? – Arby’s. Roast beef sandwiches. Chicken, bacon and swiss sandwiches. Rawr.
  
• What are your standards and rules for tipping? – If the service failed to suck, there’s a tip. Otherwise there isn’t. *shrug*
  
• Do you usually order an appetizer and/or dessert? – If we’re out at a place that has appetizers, usually I’ll get some cheese sticks or chicken strips or something. I’m usually too stuffed by the end of the meal for dessert, though. All things considered, that’s probably a good thing.
  
• What do you usually order to drink at a restaurant? – Citrus juices, mostly. Orange juice, lemonade, that sort of thing. Sometimes I’ll have root beer, but only if it’s Henry’s or Thomas Kemper. I will have iced tea on occasion. I’m trying to stay away from carbonated sodas as much as I can.
