Getting off the buffet topic, I did have some tasty margs at Cinco Amigos in LC. Their Shrimp fajitas are good as well.

Hey if your mom wants to go, then go.

Doesn't change the fact that it's dumb.

Not quite as dumb, though, as being obsessively concerned with where other people on an internet message board are taking their moms for Mother’s Day.

Pretty liberal with your use of "obsessively" here. I spent fewer posts arguing about it than you did.

So, which one of us is obsessing?

You done yet?

Because I’m not even slightly worried about where everybody is going for Mother’s Day.

Had a fantastic meal at Emilia last night. Warm olives, mussels -> Grilled octopus -> Lamb sausage pasta with mint pesto. Very reasonably-priced, as well.

Exactly right, in my many years I have never once thought about that. I was just saying I may take my mother to Chesapeake's for mothers day.

Market Sq. Same folks that own Stock and Barrel and Chivos, I think.

I’m pretty sure it’s not the same people.

You are right. I was mixed up. It's the Knox Mason guy that opened Emilia.

Spicy’s on Emory is no longer. Looks like the new name is Wild Boar Tavern.

Matt Gallaher, played against him in AYSO growing up. Him and his brother are good people.

Earlier I indicated Puleos on Cedar Bluff was closed. That was sort of right...it's just not closed forever. They are actually remodeling it and will reopen.

Hopefully they’re also remodeling the menu.

Hopefully they’re also remodeling the menu.

And service.

I bet you go out shopping on black friday too.

Doing what the hordes do just because you think you are supposed to is sheeplike behavior.

Who the hell do you think you are? Judge, jury, executioner? You’re just another dude with a dumb opinion on a message board.

Guess what? People sometimes enjoy being in public around other people. We’re not all introverts. My Mom grew up in NYC. She loves going out. She loves dressing up and feeling special. My sister in law likes BF shopping. Who cares?

Enjoy your steak.

“Honey, we can’t go out on Friday or Saturday nights anymore. They’re cutting corners and shaving drinks.”

“It’s either hang out with the alcoholic’s on Thursday in the empty restaurants or fire up the green egg.”

Market square, and the above comments are true: good people, good service, great food -- both there and at Knox Mason.

Support the locals!

Maybe you guys could start your own Mother's Day Thread or something.

Always support the locals if possible. A friend of mine is running for state representative and just discussing that very thing.
