My family when out to eat at a Country Kitchen restaurant in our town last week. We ordered a cup of soup with our meal. The soup cup is the same size of a coffee cup. The price was $3.29 for the cup. My wife and I thought we were charged for a bowl and not a cup so I asked about it. The bowl costs $4.29 and it is the size of a small plate and about 4 to 5 times more soup and for a dollar more. The next time we will order the bowl and take home the extra soup for another meal. Prices are getting out of control with us being in a recession.

A few posts ago I told everyone that I have learned a new term called a Foodie. This is a term that has been around for a while now. After thinking about this term, I decided to become a partial Foodie myself.
I’m also going to give the restaurants that I visit a rating based on 0 to 5 stars. The higher the number of stars, the better the rating and the review is. I’m going to base the rating on 10 different categories.
The categories are as follows: Food Presentation, Food Cooked Correctly, Food Taste, Service Attitude, Service Time, Bathroom Cleanliness, Restaurant Cleanliness, Parking, Waiting Time, and the most important are Pest Control from a customer point of view. Each category will get a rating of 0 to 5 points for a total of 50 points for all 10 categories. The points will then determined how many stars the restaurant will receive from me.
I will voice my unbiased opinion about the restaurant and why I gave it the rating that I did. I hope to help individuals and businesses see if they are doing a good job with customers or just don’t care about what the customers want.
If there is a restaurant that you like me to go to, then just email me or tell me about it on my website. Just remember that I live in the state of Iowa and I’m limited to how far I can travel right now. But I have traveled in over half of the states in the USA since I was a kid.

This week I learned a new term called Foodie. A Foodie is a food blogger that blogs about food in general or a certain type of food or a certain culture of food. They give their opinions about the food that they visit or eat. I watched a show on PBS about foodies and some of the food they blog about and pictures of the food or pictures of their visits to food places. Foodies live all over the world in different areas but they have a wide range audience that reads their blogs. I think anybody can become a foodie.
