Do you have routine when eating out?

Yes i always order the same food whenever i go out to eat.

I don't have a really strict routine. I have my favorites, which I order pretty consistently, but once in a while I'll try something different. However, sometimes that "new" item will become a favorite and will be ordered on a regular basis. I also tend to eat each item before moving onto another, i.e., I'll eat the burger before eating the fries. And I usually eat the protein first (but that has more to do with something I learned in a health class than anything else).

I also prefer everything to be oriented a certain way. If the table before me was labeled like a clock (analog, not digital... ), my drink would be at 1 o'clock, utensils at 4 o'clock, and the food I'm eating at 6 o'clock (I rotate the plate for each item).

I don't have to eat like this, but it is what I tend to do.

The one thing that doesn't vary is using my left hand when eating foods I grab with my fingers (french fries, chicken nuggets, chips, etc.), even though I'm right-handed.

For breakfast, I generally will eat the same thing for a week. I'll do that with lunch too. It will be different food than breakfast. Dinner usually varies every day, unless I start to find that distressing.

Food is usually not allowed to touch and should be kept separate, unless it's a sauce that goes on a dish.

Well, I always kiss her first.

I only eat burgers when I go out. I also try to always get the same table. Oh, and I never go during a busy time, I usually go to dinner at 5:00 if we're going out because I hate crowds.

I always have Subway at 11 or 11:30 because midday is when it is its most busiest. Damn people from work on their lunch break.
