    Wow, I would throw my calories to the wind if I was being taken to a restaurant like that. You can't gain that much weight in one meal, and it won't happen again for 20 years.

    actually 5280 week rolls around every year and we try 5-6 restaurants each time. :) but i know what you mean about throwing your calories to the wind.
