Amarillo Restaurant

Getting out on a date night is very important. Even in the strongest of relationships, it is important to take time for yourselves. Some couples get to enjoy one another's company a lot. Some couples have kids and finding time to take a shower is a good day. Let alone a date night.

It has been a whirlwind of a story. Amanda's Cafe has been in and out of the restaurant review pages. When they first opened up I would see Amanda posting all of their great food specials.

When I saw this story pop up on my timeline I had to check it. Oh and check it twice. I remember when you would go into a restaurant in Amarillo and would be asked whether you wanted a smoking or non smoking section.

We want it. We deserve it. We need it. I am talking about free food on that important day that you were born. It used to be that every place did something special for your big day. That is not the case anymore.

I hated hearing about this

I drove by this new restaurant, Amanda's Cafe, over the weekend to get a picture of it for another story. The parking lot was pretty full. They were doing some pretty good business. This was on a Sunday around lunchtime.

A lot of businesses have had to do a lot to stay in business in 2020. Some started to offer delivery. Some learned how to accomplish curbside delivery. Other's redid their market plan and knocked a hole in their wall.

I like seeing news of new places opening up. This means that our economy may be finally getting back to normal. Restaurants bring open to serve you inside the dining room.

I waited tables for years before I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. Heck, it really was one of my most favorite times. All the people I got to meet. It was a fun time. One of the worst things about waiting tables was either having to go to work sick or NOT getting paid.

There are some restaurants that I go to and I know I will just fill up on chips and hot sauce. Some I know I will on bread sticks or just regular bread. I know I will be too full before my food comes out to me so I will bring some of it home with me.

Again as luck would have it I find out about another Amarillo Restaurant biting the dust on Facebook yesterday.

When I got up this morning and checking out Facebook as I always do I saw people posting about Tyler's Barbecue closing as of Saturday. At first my heart just dropped.
