Emma’s Favorite Restaurant
When Emma and her family go out to dinner, they always go to their favorite
restaurant. Their favorite restaurant is an Italian restaurant, and they usually
go once a week. Emma always gets ravioli, and her little brother Josh always
gets spaghetti with meatballs. Their parents like to try different things. One
week when they were getting ready to go out to dinner, Emma’s father
suggested they try the new restaurant in town. Emma and Josh both moaned
and groaned. The new restaurant was Lebanese. All Emma and Josh knew
about Lebanese food was that it often revolved around chick peas and grape
leaves. “You might actually end up liking it if you give it a try,” said their mom.
Their dad added, “Let’s try it once, and if you don’t like it, we will go back to
our ‘tried and true’ spot next week.” Emma and Josh got into the backseat of
the car and rolled their eyes at each other.Josh asked, “If we don’t like it, can
we get a pizza on the way home?”
“I highly doubt you will go hungry, but if it makes you feel better, we
will grab a pizza on the way home.”
When they arrived at the restaurant, a host met them at the door and greeted
them with enthusiasm. He led them to a table and said, “We are very happy
that you are trying our new restaurant. If you have any questions about the
menu or need any help choosing a menu item, your server will be with you
shortly. The restaurant was looked pretty cool, and the host was super nice.
Emma and Josh began to relax a little bit. They actually started to think it
would be fun to try something new. When the server came over, he told them
what some of his favorite meals were. Emma and Josh were surprised to learn
that the restaurant served something similar to ravioli, and it served a meatball
dish. Emma ordered manti, dumplings filled with spiced lamb and covered in
tomato sauce. Josh ordered kibbeh, meatballs made with wheat and spiced
ground lamb and served with garlic sauce. After Emma and Josh took the first
bites of their dishes, they paused before saying anything. Emma was thinking
that the manti tasted different than ravioli, but she didn’t think it was bad.
Josh was thinking his meatballs looked very similar to the meatballs that come
with spaghetti, but the sauce was white, not red like he was used to. He liked
the kibbeh, though. They each took a few more bites, and then they both
declared, “You were right, Mom. This food is pretty tasty.” When the meal was
over, Emma said, “I think I have another favorite restaurant. Now I have a
favorite Italian restaurant and a favorite Lebanese restaurant.” Josh agreed
and asked, “Can we switch between the two restaurants for our weekly
dinners out?” “I think that is a great idea,” said Emma and Josh’s parents.
“Maybe we can even try the Thai restaurant sometime soon,” said Emma.
