We had dinner from Stonefire Grill last night. It’s the first time I’ve eaten there. I was getting food for someone in my church cell group that just had a baby. They provided a list of restaurants and I chose Stonefire Grill. Since I was getting their dinner, I just placed a second order for my family. It’s a “typical” American restaurant and the food was pretty good. I ordered the 1/2 chicken-1/2 rib meal that comes with salad and breadsticks. I also got some mashed potatoes and a huge carrot cake for dessert.

Couple of observations. I’m surprised at the sodium content of the 1/2 lemon garlic chicken. I thought it was kind of bland and needed a to of the lemon garlic sauce to give it flavor. My dad mentioned that the ribs were kind of fatty so it’s surprising that there’s more fat in the chicken than in the ribs. Our meal came out to ~$35 and there was a lot of leftover. I ate most of the salad since that can’t keep once you mixed the dressing.
