I really did it, I swear....

Yes, it's taken me 5 months to get around to blogging the actual restaurants, but I did finish all 52 during 2006! Here's the quick and dirty as to how my year wrapped up...
36. NoRTH - I wasn't terribly impressed here, but it was pretty good
37. Greene House - the twin kobe burgers are two little morsels of heaven
38. Firebird's Rocky Mountain Grill - freaking. awesome. You get so much food at this place, it's ridiculous
39. Chipotle - sooooo good
40. Cyclo - First time I had ever had Vietnamese food
(41 and 42 were blogged out of order)
43. zPizza - Study food!
44. elements - absolutely gorgeous views!
45. Tomaso's - picked up 1000 bonus points on OpenTable for this one! Whoo hoo!
46. Sushi restaurant in Chandler -can't remember the name, but for sushi, it was pretty good...
47. The Counter - Sooooooo yummy! Nothing beats grilled cheese:















48. Phillipe's - Lamb French dip.... who knew?
49. Combo's Pizza - best drunk pizza EVER!
50. Garlic Jim's Pizza - eh.
51. Ikea - Sveedish meetballs... yaaahhhhh......
52. Manuel's - Believe it or not, I had never eaten here before! Great place to hang with the girls.....


What now? What do I do now that my year-long challenge is over? Am I up for another serious New Year's Resolution? To be honest, the commitment of this whole 52 restaurants thing was a bit much for me. But, it's definitely gotten me used to living my life with a little more variety. In the first 5 months of 2007, I find myself continuing to say - "Hey - what about this new restaurant?" or, "You know, I've always wanted to try...." And the fun thing is that it's more than just food. This year I'm planning all sorts of things that are new, and some are kind of scary, but I wouldn't do it any other way.
