With her older brother at a birthday paty (they are irish twins and almost inseparable), I had a date night with my 6yo daughter last evening. I gave her the choice of eating anywhere she wanted and having anything she wanted. The first shock was that she didn't choose pizza LOL! She wanted steak (which she has loved since about 1yo where she would treat a piece of steak like a binky until the meat was white). Surprise number 2, her request for sides. Brussel sprouts and cous cous. The nicest compliment was she wanted "daddy's" steak at home. She didn't want to eat out. So it was no gourmet meal , just simple tasty and a bit cramped for seating ( I'm not really suited for a table that size).
