What did you order when you last visited a restaurant

When you say 'gravy', what do you mean? You certainly wouldn't have gravy on toast in the UK (unless you had very strange tastes).

One of you southerners need to clear this up for the Capt. I know what it is but don’t want to interpret something I rarely have.
 

My last visit was years ago and it was an Indian restaurant .....
King prawn butterfly to start,
Chicken tikka, cauliflower and mushroom bajee , pilau rice and poppadoms
 
Just before Thanksgiving, we went for Greek food:
  • Grilled Mediterranean octopus with hummus, capers, chopped red bells, and grilled toasts.
  • Avgolemono soup (chicken broth, lemon, orzo, diced chicken)
  • Cauliflower mezze - Grilled florets, seasoned with cumin and oregano
  • Salmon fillet with spicy roasted potato wedges and mixed veggies
  • Lamb shank with orzo pilaf
and our favorite dessert, Galaktoboureko - Filo stuffed with delicious custard cream in a lemon zest syrup, with a cup of good strong black coffee alongside.

Although we don't normally dine out on weekends, our fav German biergarten only serves lunch on weekends. My spouse just tempted me with the suggestion of one of their corned beef Reubens. I promptly said, "YES!"

With extra sauerkraut, of course. And we'll probably get their Reibekuchen, Potato Pancakes, to go. They make the best ones in Northern CA, with housemade tart applesauce and sour cream on the side. No filler, no egg, no batter - just long thin strands of mandolined Russets, coiled into a mound and pressed to cook on the grill. FABULOUS!

I love German and Polish food, which was easy to get in Chicago. My spouse is from Hong Kong and had never had any of it before. He loved it all from the first bite, LOL. Oh, we'll have to get an apple strudel to go as well. It's his fav dessert at the biergarten.
 
This past Wednesday my granddaughter and I had lunch with my BFF who was up from Florida. I always have to make sure the food is not cooked on the same grill as pork products. I was glad that their Tuscan panini fit the bill. It consists of fried eggplant, sauteed baby spinach and fresh mozzarella. It's served with french fries and cole slaw. I also had a root beer, no ice.
 
Went to a Mexican restaurant of my choice(my turn to choose).
Had my usual...#11. Taco, chili rellano, beans and rice. Yum.
