Ben took today off to extend our vacation a bit. Even though I had to work a couple hours this afternoon, it felt like an extra day of vacation with him home. Tomorrow Ben and I are going to start an Atkins diet. I'm addicted to carbs right now and need to cut back. I can only seem to cut back when I follow a strict plan. Since Atkins worked for me before, I know I can do it. I am thankful that Ben is willing to try it with me. It would be hard to follow it while making him foods I can't eat. Since tomorrow we will have to cut out almost all carbs, we went out for the last carb-loaded meal we will have for a while.
We finally had a meal at Jak's Grill. We've heard nothing but great praise for this restaurant. We got there just after 5:00pm and were seated right away. Ben and I each had a burger. I went with pesto mayo, bacon, and cheddar on my burger. Ben stuck with the standard red pepper mayo and added bacon and blue cheese. The burgers were outstanding. The Seattle Metropolitan magazine ranked them in second place behind Zippy's Giant Burgers for the best burger in Seattle. We do not agree. Jak's should be #1. There really is no comparison. We both opted to upgrade from french fries to potato pancakes. The pancakes were good, but I preferred the fries I swiped from Katie's plate. Katie had chicken strips and fries for her dinner. For dessert, Ben and I each got a chocolate mousse layered cake a la mode. Yes, we could have shared, but I didn't want to. Katie had a single scoop of vanilla ice cream.
