It's official

I am sorry about what I'm about to say: I don't like Cafe Rio. There is nothing on the menu that I can eat that doesn't make me feel nasty in my stomach in 12 hours. Which is to say, I hate the way I feel 1-12 hours after I eat anything from there.

I was sort of feeling this way for a while before I was pregnant, but pregnancy really solidified it. Other restaurants that fall into this EXACT category (i.e. leaves a nasty flavor in my mouth and belly hours after I finish it's food) are: Taco Bell, Olive Garden, Subway and anything on the menu at Panda Express.

I think I already mentioned it, but when I was pregnant that's how I would choose my food. I would think about the food and then imagine how I would feel a few hours after eating it and imagine the aftertaste of the burps that would inevitably come up. If I thought the burps wouldn't be too nasty, then I would eat that food. But every time, Cafe Rio made me regret my choice.

I think it's the choice of spices. And the fact that the flavors aren't subtle. They like jam flavors all down your throat and smear them on your face just so you know that this pork is MARINATED!! I don't need full-frontal flavor. Just a little is enough for me.

I think I just got deleted from some of your RSS feeds. I'm sorry. I just had to come clean and let you know how I really feel. Will you please still be my friends? There's lots of other places we can still eat, I promise.
