Backwards Dinner

Me! Kind of rough looking....but it's okay, it's my blog =)

So the other day, I had received some less then stellar news. Being all Debbie Downer, for what feels like the millionth time in the last week, New Dude suggested we go do our backwards meal.

 

About 2 months ago New Dude and I had bet on something, what it is now I cannot remember, but he lost so had to take care of this meal. Done.

 

So we could try a new adventure and working on the smiling muscles while also ending the rumbling in our tummies we headed out.

 

We landed at an local chain restaurant. We had already agreed at the middle of the chain restaurants. One, we didn't want to break the bank to make this happen. Two, we wanted to make sure that if we were eating here we'd actually want to have these dishes normally. 

 

We were greeted and brought to our table. When our waiter wandered over, we explained to our waiter, who we're pretty sure what kind of high, what we were doing and he was super excited to help out.

 



First Course, Chocolate Silk Pie. 



 This course was pretty good. It kind of reminding me of eating like a thinker version of pudding but in a pie crust. We quickly enjoyed this pie.

 

We did cheat a little because our waiter dropped off the rolls.. which were super warm.. and we didn't say no.

 

Rolls!

 

 

So our waiter wandered back and we ordered dinner. I was having chicken, pasta, and broccoli and New Dude had steak with chicken tender, mashed potatoes and rice.

 

Second Course, Dinner!

This course was super yummy. However, I think the chocolate pie didn't agree with the tomatoes or something so I only ate about half before I boxed the rest for lunch the next day. New Dude was a champ and finished everything.

I also, and it could have been because of our probably high waiter, but ordered the dessert and the dinner at the same time as to avoid the long break between the two courses. To be fair, this was probably the first time he's been asked to do this and didn't put two and two together. It's okay, it was still good.

 

When asking for a box, I also ordered our last course, Fired Pickle Chips!



Third Course, Pickle Chips!

So this course was also super yummy! There was a good portion, great flavor, but unlike a sweet dessert, the pickles kind of left your mouth feeling kind of gross as a finial touch to the meal.

 

Conclusion, this meal was fun! It was fun to start with dessert and end with an appetizer. Would I do it again? Probably one more time to confirm the results. As a first gut reaction, I would like to think that appetizer to meal to dessert is in that order for a reason, and this experiment kind of proved it. The start of a sweet base to savory meal to kind of different appetizer kind of had my stomach upset and confused. However, New Dude had no issues. So it would totally be worth another go.

 

So next time you're out with someone you should try this and let me know how it goes for you!
