I ate a great deal of food which included mussels in red and white sauce, wings, crabfries, 1/2 of a roast beef sandwich, 1/2 of a roast pork sandwich, 1/2 of a buffalo chicken sandwich and 1/2 of a parmesan chicken sandwich.

Late Saturday night in to early Sunday morning I was in New York city at a bachelor party. Around 2 am, I ventured in to a pizza place called Famous Famiglia. Fortunately, I was able to search it on a friend's phone prior to eating anything and discovered there are more than 50 locations. My friends still ate there and I ventured out into the city to try to find something else to eat. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had lost my debit card and had no cash on me so I just gave up. When we got back to my hometown area, we went to the Colonial Diner around 5:30 am. I got a chicken parmesan sandwich with mozzarella cheese fries. Delicious as always.

In February, I either ate in or ordered from 14 places. That is down a lot from the 26 times in January. Also, most of the times I ate out were in the first 15 days of the month. 

4 times I had food delivered/picked up. 

10 times I ate at restaurants. 

Total cost for just my meals for the month was around $215. I spent much more money on groceries this month. I had one meal paid for me at the end of the month. 

I got some solid feedback on the appetizer list. I'm not sure what my next list will be but I'll figure it out in the next few days. Suggestions are always welcome.
