He May Be a Food Critic Some Day

In case we hadn't mentioned it, John just LOVES to eat at restaurants.  Usually, he'll ask to go to his favorite, Tony P's, but on Saturday, he kept on saying, "I'm hungry" as we shopped at Cost Plus at the Farmers Market.  We figured that he probably wanted to go to Woodranch Grill; however, that doesn't open until 11:30.  Since it was 10:30, we decided to kill some time and walk around The Grove.

As we were meandering about, I remembered the Cheesecake Factory.  John was intrigued by the name of a restaurant with cake in the title.  He said, "I want to go to the cake restaurant."  As we went up the escalator, they had a lovely display case with all the cheesecakes one could imagine.  He was in heaven.  This was the best place next to Tony P's because we got to sit on the terrace overlooking The Grove.  Since he was good and ate his lunch, we said he could have a piece of cake.  As usual, he only ate the frosting, but he really did enjoy it.  He was quite fond of the whipped cream as well.

In case you were wondering, Nicholas ate bread and "cheechas".  He was good enough to earn a scoop of vanilla ice cream with whipped cream.  It didn't have any chocolate sauce, so I think his shirt escaped the chocolate curse.
