Valentines day is a jjy to make your loved feel super special. recommended fun for your and your jjtes e D$C Its like a stigma: Spend assets of money.

If It was a new date, or a first date, I would go to Benjas Thai Garden and Su- shi. The Andersons said to also think of going places outside of the box. Theres not many places in St. George to eat that isnt a chain, said Riley Bracken, a senior business administration major from St. George. I would probably take a date out to Oscars at Zion National Park. Bracken said his idea of the perfect Valentines Day would be no work, no school, and just hanging out with someone who is special to him. Yet for those who dont have enough money to splurge on a special or expensive dinner, Cody Jensen, a freshman d major from Salt Lake City, had some pre-me- thing else in mind. I would probably and go get Jensen said. Its cheap and good. Jensen said anybody going on a Valentines Day date should make it special. Especially if they mean something to you, he said. I mean, go on a picnic or make ut a good place to talk and have fun. Though others suggested places like Olive rr Garden and the Painted Pony in St. George DSC students suggested finding something special. Make her dinner or something, Bracken said. You dont always have to go out to dinner.

The great thing about Benjas is theres always enough to pass around and share. The Thai Tea drink, ordered to wash down the meal, was sweet and creamy with hints of orange and spices. For those who may be short on cash on Valentines Day, grab dinner from your sweethearts favorite fast food joint and take it home to a romantic, candlelit atmosphere at your own dinner table. versus BY ALISSA CURTO Staff Writer If tea isnt quite what you want to order, they offer sodas and water in replacement. The place was set up to make each individual feel as if they were alone with short screens separatinag tables. If you want to take the fancy sit down restaurant road on your Valentines Day date, Benjas is a good option for you and your date. Expect to spend about $10 or more per meal. . Inexpensive option isnt the most romantic restaurant out there, but with some creativity you can make it just as fancy as any other place. In order to make an dinner more romantic, I would suggest making the dinner seem thought through. Dollar store roses and candlelight to set off a very Americanized, everyday meal would not only make the attempt at a romantic dinner In- - In-n-O- ut N-O- ut In-N-O- ut fun and untraditional, but itll also make for a memorable experience. The food seemed to taste that much better as well. The traditional double double at mixed with a chocolate shake with two straws and animal fries, smothered deep fried potatoes with special sauce, cheese and sauteed onions were a delight. This type of dinner is In-n-O- ut probably more suitable for a couple who had been together long enough to realize why they were eating versus The Painted ut Pony. Either way the dates were fun, exciting and best of all, completely different. But wherever you go, or whatever you bring home, make this Valentines Day something to remember (a task not easily accomplished.) |
