I usally make it a point to try something I have not ever had before when I order, but alot of my buds usally will order the same thing all the time, no matter were they go.

Depends on where i'm at. If it's a new place i'm gonna test the waters by ordering somthing that i know i usually like to determine the overall quality. After i verify that the place doesn't serve piles of dogshit, i'll order within my bounds of good taste. Usually switching off between something new and something i know i'll like.
Depending on the restaurant, I'll opt to try something new, generally at Italian restaurants (I'm in love with pasta). However, if I go to a steakhouse, I generally get the same thing, since they generally don't serve much besides steak and seafood. And I'm not a huge fan of either. (Why go there, you may ask? Because others want to, -_-)
I am always picking on Josh because if we go to eat Italian food he always orders spaghetti. Yesterday for his birthday I took him to lunch at Macaroni Grill and he finally ordered something new. I was so proud of him!
UBT is more adventurous and will usually order something new.
If the restaurant doesn't serve chicken and pasta in a cream sauce, I normally just ask the waiter/waitress to choose something from the menu entirely at random and serve it to me without telling me. (Yes, I inform them that I'm not allergc to anything) It normally gets me some great tasting food that I would never have ordered otherwise. 
I like to think that I'll try just about anything once, though.

sepia had this to say about Pirotess:
haha i eat like a child. no matter where i am i always order chicken fingers with fries and ketchup. and french toast if it's breakfast.
Sounds like me but replace ketchup with plum sauce.
At a regular restaurant, I'll look over the menu, see what looks tasty, find two or three things that seem to appeal to me, and then ask the server which of those they'd recommend.
No, Really. Bite me.
Typically, though, when I go to a restaurant it is because I want a certain thing I've had before. When I go to Kabuto, I want Filet Mignon. When I go to Ham's, I want the Cheese Fries. Falaanla Marr fucked around with this message on 07-22-2004 at 01:16 AM.
Either because I found the best things a place has, or because I'm at a new place, and want to try something I know I'll atleast sort of like.

How hungry would you have to be to eat chicken and rice rehydrated with your own filtered urine?
Pretty goddamned hungry. That's disgusting.
However, I do usually have a favorite item that I'll get frequently anyways at most restaurants.
It's ok to play favorites, and it's fine to have things you don't like, but I just can't comprehend the voluntary banality of people who refuse to try new things.

Maradon! obviously shouldn't have said:
People who refuse to try anything they haven't already are pathetic. It's like refusing to watch any movie you haven't already seen, or living your entire life on the same city block you were born on and refusing to go elsewhere.
But, do I have to eat it if I decide I don't like it???

What's so wrong with that? I can honestly say that i have no desire to change the place that i call "home" to somewhere outside of San Diego. Specifically La Jolla. Hell, even there there's one specific spot i have in mind when i think of the spot i could quite happily live out my life.
Do i wanna travel to other places to see new things? Of course. But i honestly have no burning desire to live anywhere else.
