last minute help needed!!!

Keep the ideas coming... so far the cheesecake factory is winning because no matter what the wait is we can still kill time in the mall. Her shopping with my credit card may be enough to save my a--.

Worst idea so far is the trip to san diego... cuz if I had that kind of money I would be on Beale St. right now.

You could take her to a movie too. Though if she choose Les Mis, I don't know if I'd want to wait that long to eat.

Johnnies Steakhouse near the airport

Find a little hole in the wall somewhere you'll be surprised.
 
Could be...I just figured it was the raw food being handled by all the Iowa fans who probably have poor hygiene in the Coralville one.

that's a good possibility, especially if you go in wearing cardinal and gold.
 
Does she like fish? Japanese Steak houses? I know I'll get some flak, but there are also chain restaurants that are fanceyish..

My wife and I did O'hana on New Year's Eve one year. Half of what they normally cut or cook in font of you was already done. Pretty much much wanted you in and out as soon as possible.

Technically speaking, two weeks ago may have been too late for some of the "good" places. You could come to our house and we'll clean the snow off the grill for you. Chops are defrosting as we speak, err write. But we're going out so you'd need to cook everything yourself.
