Believe it or not, this really is in Italy! It's the Roadhouse Grill, right here in Bologna. We've only been a couple of times (definitely caters to Americans--pretty pricey), but it is the only place we know of to get a real, American steak experience. For Cody's birthday, there was no question as to where he wanted to go to celebrate!
Most of you probably know Cody well enough to know that the lack of red meat we consume here has been a major sacrifice for him. It was a very special treat to go get a steak for his birthday. We went with Jesse and Tricia Marcos, another CCC staff couple we work with. (They actually have the car that gets us there!)
Walking into the Roadhouse is seriously like walking into a restaurant in Texas. It's awesome! In fact, it's sometimes a little jarring when we remember we have to keep speaking in Italian. :) The kids love it because of the cows and the buckets of peanuts. And the complimentary chips and salsa (thought NOT all you can eat!), which is definitely a treat.
Cody celebrates 32 years today (May 17). What a great testimony of God's goodness. After our trip to the Roadhouse, he went to his very first professional soccer match. Bologna isn't exactly known as a powerhouse, but it was a perfect birthday present!
