I took my husband to Longhorn Steakhouse today for his birthday. I knew exactly what I was going to order (plan ahead is the best advice for eating out). I ordered a 6oz Renegade Sirloin Steak with fresh veggies and a mix salad, raspberry vinaigrette on the side. I also knew I would be taking over ½ of it home with me (part of the plan).

Salad comes and I have 2 or 3 bites and stopped, I wanted my steak so I wasn’t going to get full on salad. Waiter comes up and says, “Is everything alright with your salad?”

“Yes, everything is fine.”

I push my salad aside (wouldn’t let them take it away…..my chickens would never forgive me if I did).

My steak arrives; I eat about 2oz of the steak, 1 small crown of broccoli & 2 small carrot bites. I’m full.

The waiter comes up and says again, “Is everything alright with your steak?”

“Oh yes, it’s delicious.”

He walks away with the most confusing look on his face. Meanwhile my husband is sitting beside me trying to not laugh at this guy. I notice the smirk on my husband’s face and ask, “What?”

To which he replies, “You are enjoying this aren’t you?”

“I don’t know what you mean. I’m enjoying a nice steak here.”

The waiter returns and I ask for 2 to go boxes, one for our food and one for the food for my chickens (yes, I spoil them). He brings me 2 small boxes and I say “Do you have any bigger boxes; I have a lot of leftover food here?”

“I’m sorry, was there something wrong with the food, you didn’t eat very much?”

At this point my husband couldn’t hold it in anymore and started laughing. I replied, “The food was wonderful, I just can’t eat the volume you serve.”

“We do serve a lot of food here, but you would be surprised how many people can eat it all.”

He brought me the larger containers and we left, both happy with our meal.

Plus, my hubby gets steak and eggs for breakfast as well as a baked potato with everything on it (He ordered but didn’t touch) for lunch. To top it off my chickens were so very happy with their treat tonight!!
