Trip to Macaroni Grill

Last night as the men in my family went to the priesthood session of General Conference the woman went to dinner. I went with my mom, my grandma, my aunt Kelly and the 3 rug rats; Madi, Masen, and Peyton. My moms bestfriend Joan, Joan's mom Jane and Joan's daughter Jenny came along too. 

We had decided earlier yesterday that we wanted to go The Macaroni Grill. Well we got to the Macaroni Grill around 6:30ish. We went in and the wait time we were given for our large party was 65-75 minutes. Yes over an hour. Not all that surprising on a Saturday night. We decided to wait. The time flew by, I talked to Jenny the whole time we waited. Jenny is the cutest girl. 

The time finally came for us to have a table. Masen was holding the pager thing and was so excited when it went off. He jumped up and down and said to my mom, "aunt Toni, its finally our turn yes!! Hurry lets go, come on." 

We sat at our table and the waitress informed us that it was there 20 year anniversary this month and that they would be giving away free meal for 2 tables. Our table was table 21, now mind you we had just sat down and ordered our drinks. The time came for them to give away the free meals. Everyone started clapping and the chef came out and took a bow. He thanked us all for coming and supporting the Macaroni Grill for 20 years yada yada yada. He then pulled out the first table number to win the free meal. TABLE 43. Dang not us. The next table to win is....TABLE 21. Table 21, wait that is us!! YAY!!!  Lots of clapping and cheering at our table. 

Now when i say free meal, you are probably thinking like 2 meals per table right? WRONG! EVERYONE at our table got the following FREE: drinks, meals(including salad) and desert. Oh and Jenny and Madi got Speciality drinks. They brought the bill just so we could see what we needed to tip. The bill came to 200+ dollars. We paid nothing. We did leave a nice tip, but ill tip alot if my meal is free!!

Thanks Macaroni Grill, you are my new favorite over Olive Garden.
