Favorite Restaurant 4/21/14

My favorite restaurant is Chilis located on 140 New Jersey 17 East Rutherford. Chilis serves a variety of different foods that include Mexican dishes and traditional American dishes as well. Chilis has many great appetizers and many great main platters. My personal favorite dishes are the Bacon Burger and the Mexican dishes. The Mexican dishes that are available at Chilis are Fajitas, Classic Nachos, Crispy Chicken Tacos, Steak Tacos, and Grilled Chicken Tacos.

Chilis is a restaurant chain and they have restaurants all across the United States. They also have a lot of advertising on television for their specials and great dishes. Chilis is my favorite restaurant because my parents bought me there ever since I was a little kid and I always loved going to eat there. If Chilis would ever close down then I would probably just go to Olive Garden because in Olive Garden they sell Italian food and Italian food is one of my favorite types of food.                                   Overall Chilis is a great restaurant with great food and a really nice interior design. Chilis has a loud atmosphere at night but a nice and calm atmosphere during the day. The food is always tasty and the pricing in my opinion is pretty decent. Chilis is a good place for the whole family to visit and it wont be to expensive. Chilis has great service and kind employees that gladly take your order and serve with a smile. Chilis is a great place to go to and eat at.

Robotic Hand is Able to Feel

A man who had lost his hand due to a firework accident is now able to feel due to a special artificial hand that is connected to his nerves. The artificial robotic hand was able to help the user feel varying forces of pressure and the hand sends messages to the remaining nerves in the arm and the brain will know the feeling of what the user is touching. Hopefully this revolutionary tool with other people with amputated limbs feel again. Click Here to learn more.
