The sun was setting, the string lights were glowing, and Queso and Henry had the biggest smiles on their faces.
It was Date Night!
They trotted paw-in-paw to their favorite fancy spot— a cozy little French place called The Bistro. “This is going to be the best night ever,” Queso whispered.
Inside the Bistro, the candle flickered and the menus looked fancy.
Queso licked her lips. Henry’s tail gave a hopeful wag.
“This all sounds so delicious!” Queso said. Henry squinted at the menu.
“Um… what’s escargot de jardin?” Queso tilted her head. “Maybe… garden cake?”
They giggled and peeked over their menus. “Let’s just point and hope for the best!”
The waiter returned with two very fancy plates.
Queso’s eyes sparkled. “Ooh, it looks... fancy!” Henry blinked. On his plate sat a whole octopus.
On Queso’s? A pile of snails.
The waiter smiled proudly. “Bon appétit!”
Henry gulped. “I was kinda hoping for steak...” Queso whispered, “Let’s just be brave... and chew really fast.”
Henry leaned back in his chair with a happy sigh. Not a crumb was left on his plate.
He dabbed his mouth with a napkin and smiled. “That was actually... delicious,” he whispered.
Queso gave him a wink from across the table. “See? You’re fancier than you thought!”
Henry chuckled. “Next time, I might even try the frog legs.”
The moon was high and the stars were twinkling. Queso and Henry strolled side by side, paws light on the cobblestone.
Their bellies were full and their hearts even fuller.
“I still can’t believe you ate the octopus,” Queso giggled.
Henry laughed, “I still can’t believe I liked it!”
One thing was certain—Date Night was magnifique!
Back at home, Queso and Henry were still dreaming of dinner.
“The snails! The sauces! The little tiny forks!” Queso sighed. Henry nodded, holding up his passport.
“If that was French food… we have to try the real thing!”
They clicked the button that said BOOK NOW and wagged their tails with excitement. Next stop? Paris!
Because when it comes to food—and love—these two don’t mess around.
What kind of food have you never had but think you should try?
