Goodbye Blogs... :(

Honestly, in the beginning of this semester when I found out that we had to create our own blog, I really thought that it would be very dumb. Now when I think back on it, I really enjoyed it. IT was great practice for your writing and also it helped me to learn that not all writing has to be a drag. Writing outside of class can actually be very interesting and this taught me that.

Birthday ***

Ok, so within the next 5 days there are 3 significant birthdays coming up: my girlfriend's on Dec 2nd, my mom's on Dec 6th, and mine on Dec 6th. Yikes right.  And by the way, yes i was born on my mom's birthday and yes i was the best present she has ever received, because im an amazing person of course.  So this is going to be a fun week full of presents, cake, ice cream, going out to dinner, and of course we cant forgot the embarrassment you feel while you're at a restaurant and everyone whose working stops what their doing and puts a fake smile on their face to sing you the most awkward song ever!

What’s Cookin’ in Olga’s Kitchen

26308 Ford Rd

Dearborn Heights, MI 48127

(313) 278-5545

Olga’s Kitchen is a chain of Greek-based family restaurants primarily located in the Midwestern United States whose first location opened in Birmingham, Michigan in 1970.  The distinguishing characteristics of an Olga’s Kitchen are that almost everything on their menu in some type of sandwich put in a pita and made spicy, the great wait staff, and also a very nice and clean environment for you to eat in. 

Walking up the the restaurant around lunch time on Black Friday, I noticed that the place was absolutely packed.  Yet within thirty seconds of me walking in, I was greeted by the hostess and asked the standard questions, how many people are in your party and of course smoking or non.  The host sat me without any wait, and shortly after she left the waitress arrived with a smile on her face.  She was very friendly and asked what I would like to drink and if I would like an appetizer.  Now when you go to Olga's, you must order their Snackers, they are deep fried pit chips seasoned in a cayenne pepper based seasoning and come with Swiss almond cheese to dip them in.  They are to die for.  So I ordered a basket of Snackers and a Pepsi.

About five minutes later, the waitress returned with the Snackers and my Pepsi and took my lunch order, I ordered a Philly Cheese Steak with extra steak (the portions are not small, I was just extra hungry) and I saw her immediately go and put my order in.  Considering that the restaurant was jam packed, I thought that was a key aspect that I considered when deciding if it was a good review or a bad one because some waitresses or waiters may have waited a few minutes to put my order in.

Shortly after I finished my plate, the waitress had returned with a Pepsi refill and the bill.  The damage done was $22.61, not a necessarily cheap lunch, but a very delicious one.  I thought that the waitress was very good, so a pulled out six dollars and the debit card to pay for the meal.  The waitress returned shortly and took the bill and my card and she must had noticed my generous tip because when she had returned, I noticed that the price was changed from nearly twenty three dollars to sixteen, and at the top of the revised check is “EMPL DISC”.  This topped of my nearly perfect visit with her great generosity which was greatly appreciated.

The food at Olga’s are made in their unique way, and there is something on the menu for everyone to eat.  This Greek kitchen is a great place to go with your family or friends and you’ll see the excellent food and service first hand.  Overall I give Olga’s Kitchen 4.5 stars out of 5 and I would recommend it to anyone who has not tried it.

You Don't Mess With The Zohan....

Ok so sitting in class today, my dear friend Greg brought up that at his advising meeting they served hummus and donuts, that IMMEDIATELY reminded me of the move You Don't Mess with the Zohan.  But no one around me had ever seen this movie!  If you enjoy a hilarious Adam Sandler movie, then next time you are at the video store i highly recommend seeing this movie!  You will cry laughing!  And you will see will I lmao-ed when he mentioned hummus.
