Aw, I understand. It’s very sweet that you are wanting to make it a special day for her. :) Unfortunately I don’t have any recommendations but hopefully someone else here will!

Have you thought about you each going to a different place, getting to-go orders, and meeting back up somewhere to eat together? Honestly it sounds like you and your wife have very different palates and it seems like she’s not interested in trying something outside of her comfort zone. That’s a bummer.

Thank you for mentioning Old Bay hot sauce! It’s awesome and I feel like not enough people know about it.
