Reviewing while eating...

In our last opinion writing class, Mrs. T talked about reviews. She wants us to do a mock review for our next class. The way she talked about restaurant reviews clicked with me -- or maybe I just wanted an excuse to go out. So I then preceded to grab a friend of mine and set off for Chili's. I thought Chili's would be a good place to test how hard reviewing a restaurant would be. When we got there I wrote down opening and closing times, which made the hostess look at me weird. :-/. It seemed pretty easy...until near the end of our meal when I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten the reason why I was at Chili's. I was socializing so much that I hadn't written down all the details of our meal that I would need in order to write a review! So, I hurriedly wrote down everything---which unfortunatey made our waitress look at me weird. The waitress even asked if I worked for a publication-- which I was flattered by. All in all, I wouldn't mind being a restaurant reviewer, you get to eat out, try new things and have fun while working. Just make sure you remember that you ARE working not just having a fun night out. I learned that the next time I venture out to do a review, that I should probably bring one of my boring friends along (ha) or maybe stay focused on my topic.
