What on Earth do we know about eating out?

You may be thinking, " I know how to handle myself in a restaurant! What can Make Mine Medium Rare.com possibly tell me?" Well, maybe nothing at all. Then again we may have a new idea or two to put in your own eating out bag of tricks.

This began because friends repeatedly said to us, "You two get treated so well at restaurants! You're like visiting royalty even when you stop someplace for a rack of ribs. How can we get some of that!?" To meet the relentless stream of requests we decided to launch what was once the Grabbing a Bite.com website, and is now, with the publication of the book of the same title, the Make Mine Medium Rare.com website.

In short, this site isn't about the best restaurants or top celebrity chefs. It's for people who want to have fun at whatever restaurant they choose -- and to come away with more than a doggie bag and a higher credit card balance. It's for those who want to fully enjoy the time they invest in the recreation of eating out -- or, as we like to call it, Restauranting.

By taking a short browse you'll immediately see how you can get treated like you own the place the next time you go out for an evening of romance, with friends or for a relaxing time of good food and wine.

And besides, you're paying the check -- so you deserve the very best when you're grabbing a bite.
