Stop, in the name of love

This blog is dedicated to my favorite things that, like the Old South, have gone with the wind.

1) Coffee / Heath Bar cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory: This was, in my opinion, the best cheesecake at the Factory. I went with Aaron a few months ago and was so looking forward to the end of the meal, but, Ta-Da! It disappeared! According to our waiter, it wasn't a very popular selection. Whatevs.

2) Chicken Giardino at Olive Garden: Again, "not a very popular selection". That's not an easy excuse to hear. It definitely makes me feel outside of the "We're cool and we order the popular stuff on the menu" clique.

3) Chat Noir: Aaron and I love this restaurant. It is kinda Frenchy and sorta cheesy and they have live jazz on Friday and Saturday nights. We went a couple of weeks ago and, when I tried to order my favorite thing, the waitress told me that they don't have it on the menu anymore, because they're changing the menu, and the whole restaurant, even down to its cute name. And they're turning it into an "American" restaurant. Land sakes!

4) Tropical Dots: So chewy, so colorful, and so much better than the original flavors. Except, I can't find them anywhere. If you spot them around, I beg you, let me know. Or if you buy them for me, I will totally pay you back and include a hefty tip.

5) Candy Corn: No, don't worry, they still make it. But our Stater Bros. only had those pumpkins and caramel candy corn. We asked one of the grocery store guys to check for us, and then caught him wandering around the wrong part of the store like five minutes later.

But, the good news is, Chipotle is still going strong.

How has your heart been broken?
