Favorite restaurant blog posting project 4-23-14

My favorite restaurant to eat at would probably have to be the Hard Rock Cafe on 1501 Broadway in New York, NY 10036. The type of food they serve is normal foods like burgers, salads, sandwiches, steaks, sea food, etc. My favorite dish from here is the hickory barbecue bacon cheese burger. The history of this restaurant is a chain restaurant founded by isaac tigrett and peter morton two enterprising and music loving americans. The hard rock cafe is my favorite restaurant because i like the kind of music they play, i like the food and the waiters/waitresses are very nice plus the hard rock just has a good vibe when you walk in, it makes you feel like you can be yourself and sing along to whatevers playing because mostly everyone knows it, its just a fun experience really. If the hard rock closed down i would probably go to the texas roadhouse, despite the awful country music (i guess country music isn't my thing but i'll deal) they have really good food and like the hard rock the waiters/waitresses are very nice
