Burgers, Milkshakes, and Fries (Oh My!)

Even without knowing what this date is, aren’t you excited?  How could you go wrong when it involves such delicious foods?  This date works best when you get several couples together.  Have everyone meet up and discuss some of their favorite places for burgers, milkshakes, and fries.  After you make a list assign couples to go to a few of the places to pick up the items.  (It works best when you send couples to restaurants that are geographically near each other.  Then everyone comes back together and you each have a taste, bite, or sip of each item.  You then rank them and figure out together what tastes best and who the winners are.  When I did this we picked places such as: McDonalds, Burger king, Wendy’s, Kid Valley, Dick’s, Burger Master and Broiler Bay.  It was so much fun comparing all the different tastes and learning what people preferred and why.  For us the winner was Broiler Bay.  It can be fun to collaborate ideas on where to eat in the area and try things without committing to the entire meal.  You could also do this with pizza or other genres of food.  Good friends and good food make for a good time.



This is a great date for your relationship because you work together as a team with your spouse and also connect with other couples in a non-competitive way.  It is good to be able to make decisions because sometimes in life we have lots of good options in front of us but we have to pick what is the best.  Practicing decision making (in this case on food) is a good skill to have when you are your spouse need to pick things such as homes, what to have for dinner, where to go on vacation, etc.  It’s also a good practice in listening and expressing your opinions.
