Birthday Calories Don’t Count at Rubi’s Grill

It had been quite a long time since we had been to Rubi’s Grill, so when it happened to be my birthday, I figured I might as well use the occasion as an excuse to go back and savour some of their specialities.

After all, if you can't indulge a little on your birthday, when can you?

We started off with a couple of Strawberry Shakes — cold, creamy and a rather nice way to kick off the birthday celebrations.

Then came the serious business.

Dinner started with Potato jacket wrapped in Bacon, followed by Lasagna and Cheesy Garlic Bread. By now, the table was already beginning to fill up rather rapidly, but clearly nobody had told us to stop ordering.

And then came the main event — Grilled Pork Chops with Mashed Potatoes.

Looking at the spread on the table, I had to wonder whether we were celebrating my birthday or catering for a small gathering. There was pasta, bread, potatoes in two different forms and enough food to make the concept of dessert seem like a distant and slightly dangerous possibility.

But it was my birthday, so I wasn't complaining!

It had been ages since our last visit to Rubi's Grill, and coming back for my birthday turned out to be a pretty good excuse to rediscover the place.

The only problem was that by the end of the meal, the birthday boy was completely stuffed.

Gosh... that was a LOT of food!

But then again, birthdays come around only once a year. The calories can wait.
