Feel the Love...

...of the CRAVE! That's right, folks - WHITE CASTLE!

Becky, once again, proved to the world that she is the greatest wife ever by making Valentine's Day dinner plans at White Castle. I'll give you a moment for that to really sink in...Valentine's dinner at White Castle. It's true. Every year White Castle restaurants deck out their dining rooms to celebrate V-day. Table cloths, candle light, soft music, printed menus, balloons and, of course, sliders.

That last one isn't so much romantic but that's the real fun of it all. That and the fact that B had to make reservations weeks in advance in order to get in. So, at 6pm Valentine's Day, Becky and I dressed up nice (we really did) and made our way to the White Castle on E. Lake St.

We started our meal with a couple fizzy cocktails (Sprite & Cherry Coke) then dove right in and ordered cheese sticks, sliders, chicken ring sandwiches, and fries. YUM!!! It really made me think that some of those snooty restaurants downtown might have something to learn from White Castle. We were promptly seated at our reservation time, the service was speedy and friendly, the food was prepared to perfection and the ambiance was unbeatable. If they can do it, why can't everyone else? Right?

It was the perfect date for Becky and me because neither of us is a fan of the holiday. There really doesn't seem to be any good reason to get stressed out finding the right card/gift while breaking the bank on an expensive date. Low key, low budget, original, a little bit humorous and fun...just how we like it. Besides, why do we need a "special" day to tell our significant other how much we love them? I sure don't. LOVE YOU, B!
