Amarillo Restaurant

It has been a whirlwind of a story. Amanda's Cafe has been in and out of the restaurant review pages. When they first opened up I would see Amanda posting all of their great food specials.

When I saw this story pop up on my timeline I had to check it. Oh and check it twice. I remember when you would go into a restaurant in Amarillo and would be asked whether you wanted a smoking or non smoking section.

I hated hearing about this

I drove by this new restaurant, Amanda's Cafe, over the weekend to get a picture of it for another story. The parking lot was pretty full. They were doing some pretty good business. This was on a Sunday around lunchtime.

I like seeing news of new places opening up. This means that our economy may be finally getting back to normal. Restaurants bring open to serve you inside the dining room.

I waited tables for years before I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. Heck, it really was one of my most favorite times. All the people I got to meet. It was a fun time. One of the worst things about waiting tables was either having to go to work sick or NOT getting paid.

There are some restaurants that I go to and I know I will just fill up on chips and hot sauce. Some I know I will on bread sticks or just regular bread. I know I will be too full before my food comes out to me so I will bring some of it home with me.

Again as luck would have it I find out about another Amarillo Restaurant biting the dust on Facebook yesterday.

When I got up this morning and checking out Facebook as I always do I saw people posting about Tyler's Barbecue closing as of Saturday. At first my heart just dropped.

There is no doubt that Amarillo is the stopping ground for a lot of people. With I-40 going straight thru town.
