Anyone have a foodie spreadsheet?
As the new year rang in, I decided I wanted to become more organized. I started making a list of the restaurants I've been to. I thought it would be neat to make a spreadsheet and keep notes on what dishes I liked or didn't like. Give each place a rating.
I started off the list by racking my brain on where I've been the last year or two, since the blog began. I just know there's a lot I'm missing, but I got started by listing those and then moving on further. There are several that I can picture in my head, but cannot for the life of me remember what they're called.
I'll need to jot more down as they come to mind. I'm omitting the chains - McD's, Subway, Sonic, Hardee's, Wendy's, BK, KFC, Panda Express, Starbucks, Taco Bell - you know, the places where you grab and go and don't dine out. Now I need to get everything into a spreadsheet. Do you keep a list of places that you dine out at? (Or am I crazy and completely wasting my time?) Been to any on my list? What are your favorites?
