chain restaurants

[MadJack]

that's all they have around here :shrug:

can't stand them either.

i tolerate Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Ravens games but after the season is over, they won't see me until next year. the first game of the year is kinda cool too because it's like a reunion over there :mj06:

Texas Roadhouse isn't too bad and I'm gonna hit that in about an hour.

I can handle Olive Garden too.

We have them all but that's about all I can handle.

What about you guys?

like today..gotta exit the house while the wife prepares for the annual Christmas party..

and local bar where I meet up with some of the old buddies today at 2pm doesn't have a Sat. Special..



bowl of chilli and a grilled cheese will have to do..

All the family owned places are gone around here and the ones that are left are for sale.

We went to a long time family owned Italian place last week and the cheapest thing on the menu was spag and balls for $17.95! No wonder the chains are putting them out of business!

I don't understand why nobody opens a restaurant without the franchise umbrella.

This Buffalo Wild Wings guy here just opened his 3rd one and the parent company makes all the money. He doesn't seem like the happiest guy in the world and he works more hours than I do :scared

When we're in Vegas we sometimes go to the Cheesecake Factory in Caesars because we don't have one around here.

Don't like them much either, would rather just cook for myself. I'll hit a fast food place about 2x a month. I do like some of the family owned places and diners we have out here in Virginia.

Olive Garden SUCKS

the only thing they make there is the salad and breadsticks, all of the meals are frozen,prepackaged and then microwaved:sadwave:

I allow myself 18 wings from BW3 every 3 months. Tear me up but love the Asian Zing. That's about the only time I ever eat high-Fructose Corn Syrup. Took Augusta there once and she threw all her food on the floor, hated it:142smilie

Will eat Outback a couple times a year. Fuck the rest of those places. Montana Mikes:mj07:

Hated trying to find a place to eat in Indiana.

microwaved:sadwave:

I won't use a microwave, FYI.:nono:
