There are a few pointers to choosing a good restaurant:
1. The menu. Most restaurants these days have the menu displayed outside or on a website. Look at the menu displayed on the outside before going in. If it’s a limited menu, the chances are that they probably do it well. If youre a meat eater make sure you are ok, same goes for the pescatarians and vegetarians.
2. Cleanliness. If the restaurant looks clean, they have probably taken equal care in the kitchens will be clean too.
3. I like going to restaurants where you can smell the food outside, to me it shows a busy restaurant.

While growing up on US military bases, one of the perennial radio personalities that the Department of Defense would transmit to us wayward DoD dependents was Paul Harvey and his show, The Rest of the Story. I liked the set up of the program — always showing his captive audience that there was more to things than what the government or some corporation was spinning.
