I've got a new favorite restaurant. I still love Stan's, just like I still love Diego's, and I'll still go to either of them, but Greg's has something that neither of those does, and it is very fun to go to.
For anyone who hasn't heard of Greg's, which I'd assume is almost everyone, it is a restaurant run by the last semester culinary arts students, like my room mate. It's pretty difficult to find out about if you don't have someone tell you about it, and even if you know about it, you'll have to be sure you have time on Thursday or Friday, 5-7 or 7-9, because that is the only time they're open, and yes, you do need reservations. There are only a few tables, about 16, I think, but all of them are next to the kitchen, so you can see all the chefs cooking all the meals.
The menu changes every week, and I don't mean small changes. They change everything on the menu, and center each week around some nation's food, depending on what they can get fresh. So far, I've gone twice, once for Thai night, and once for French night. They've also had German, Italian, Mexican, and Chinese is this week.
When you go in, they give you a menu and you pick one of two or three appetizers, soups, salads, main courses, and desserts. While you're deciding what you want to eat, they'll bring you some kind of pallate cleanser. For french night, it was some kind of pumpkin sorbet. After giving your order, all you have to do is enjoy each course as it comes out.
