My Favorite Restaurants

Melina B is an employee at The Arc of Midland. She makes the office much more fun, and we love seeing her each day. Melina is authoring the blog, and “spilling the tea” about all sorts of things while sharing her perspective! Follow along as Melina posts each Monday for “Mondays with Melina.”

This week, Melina is dishing on her favorite places to eat around Midland, and more importantly, what those meals mean to her. From peach lemonade to pizza tacos, her love of food highlights something bigger: choice, independence, and the joy of being part of the community. Whether she’s using a gift card from her holiday stash or treating herself once a week, Melina reminds us that little routines can reflect big things - like belonging, connection, and knowing what makes you happy.

Without further ado…

When I go out to lunch or dinner my favorite places are Applebees, Luckys , Big ES , China Palace, Subway, Uno’s. Please order peach lemonade. It's awesome to die for. My favorite is Cheeseburgers Pizza. I love pizza tacos. If you get an Oreo shake from there it is incredible. I love my favorite foods. I have a gift card holder every Christmas that is packed full of them all. I love going out to eat but it is expensive and it's bad for my health so I normally go out twice a week or once a week..

I love Pizza Sams, it is the awesome pizza in the town of Midland. I can tell you why because I am part Italian!
