The good folks at Chili’s have offered to give 1 Picky Palate Reader a $50 Gift Card to dine at one of their restaurants!! They also sent  my family so we could share our dining experience of Chili’s new menu items with all of you. Here’s how our delicious night of eating went down……….

We started with a cup of their new Chicken Green Chili Soup. Let me just say, my husband and I LOVED this,  so much I totally re-created it!! See my recipe HERE.

I know, so naughty, but then we tried their new Loaded Beef Nachos. Um….Incredible 🙂

The boys ordered off of the kids menu, but picked at our food too 🙂

For our main course, we shared the new Carribean Salad, Mini Chicken and Beef Tacos and the Steakhouse Sandwich. We really enjoyed all of these plates, especially the Steakhouse Sandwich. The horseradish dipping sauce was AWESOME!

It wouldn’t have been appropriate had we not ordered dessert, so we ordered their new Brownie Sunday, which was pretty much devoured 🙂  Thanks for a great dining experience Chili’s!!

    I just became a fan and shared you. I discovered your turkey burger recipe on Tasty Kitchen

  2. Tania Bell

    I try different things for the most part. I don’t order steaks, but dh always does and I stay away from pasta dishes that are so easy to make at home.

  3. Katie R

    I almost always order some variation of the same thing…a salad or sandwich with grilled chicken. I’m not very adventurous.

  4. DeeAnn Jeppesen

    WOW! Your blog is like going to the grocery store hungry…don’t do it! 🙂 I need to go to Chili’s right now. I haven’t been for awhile. After reading & looking at your photos I need to try it now! I like to order different things off the menu but will always have my favorites!

  5. Jessica

    I always start out with the skillet queso and finish with their chocolate lava cake. I do try out new things for my main entree. I love the new menu items and the improvements to the old ones!

  6. Jennifer Lehnhof

    I love to try new things except a few restaurants where I just have to have my good old favorites. My husband eats out a lot with work so he is ALWAYS trying new things and has become quite adventurous.

  7. Karri

    I want to order something different, but after looking at the menu for ten minutes I usually decide on one of the three things I usually order.

  8. Jen

    I usually go for the same kind of thing – but will occasionally try new things. I’m just such a picky eater, that I normally just stick to the thing I know I’ll love.

    On a side note – Chili’s changed their house salad as well. It went from fantastic to sub par (in my mind) The lettuce you now get is shredded, almost like coleslaw but not the dressing. It has roasted corn (which is tasty) and cucumbers (hurray!) but missing some of my previous favorite elements. They are always willing to substitute this new salad with regular lettuce for me when I ask though.

  9. Janell

    I pretty much stick to my favorites…especially at place I don’t get to go to very often. But desserts? Not that’s a place where I know I won’t be disappointed so it’s fun to switch that up a bit!!

  10. Sandy

    What I like to do is get something that takes a long time to make – so I get the enjoyment of someone else doing the fussy or messy stuff.

  11. KELLY

    Depends on the mood. Sometimes same old same old sometimes taking a big jump outside the box!

  12. Crystal

    It depends on the restaurant. Some places I know what I want and want it each time, other places I get something new every time. I’ve previously joined your google reader, so do I get a separate entry for that anyway?

  13. Lynda

    I like to pick from new items off the menu and so does my husband. I’m always up for a new dish!

  14. Tiffany

    We don’t eat out often, so when we do, I usually wind up ordering the same things. I’m always scared to “waste” a trip out to eat if the new item turns out to be terrible.

  15. anthy

    I like to try new things! Usually. There are a few restaurants (like the local Mexican eatery) where I’ve found that trying new things isn’t rewarding. And at a couple of restaurants, I like one items so much that I have it most of the time. Like steak at Applebees! But otherwise, I like to try new things.

    Thank you for the giveaway!

    I’m a REALLY picky eater, so when I find something I like somewhere I always order that same thing.
