Rate a Chain Restaurant

[Uncle Remus]

Well can I insist on a nice Amarone for the libation.
There are other things besides beer and wiskey

Hey, ya mean this is ain't a bring your own cooler event?

Sounds metrosexual to me, I'll have to dress for this.

 

[npmommie]

Come on up! Where exactly are you? I make a killer Chicken Fried Chicken (just like Chicken Fried Steak, but not not with um, steak), with Cream Gravy, Rosemary Garlic Mashed Potatoes, jalapeno cornbread and whatever veggie you like. All homemade

Ok, now I'm officially hungry.......

ok, you must post the recipe, puleeeze!! other wise I have to bring my dh down there, he would absolutely go bananas for this meal. and I have never cooked anything like this, if he came for your cooking he may be the dinner guest that doesn't want to leave

 

[npmommie]

Remus I have to ask where in the world Do you live?? I have not heard of anywhere that doesn't have chain restaurants, they seem to be like a rapidly growing thing infiltrating everywhere!

You're in Rural Texas. Of COURSE you've got one of those!

It's a requirement.

[Uncle Remus]

I hope that explains why I'm on the DxDP my next Disney trip too, I'm so excited.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

No Dairy Queen in Preston Hollow.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Beware of that DxDDP. The out of pocket tips KILLED us last year. Would have been better off with the DDE card.

 

[Uncle Remus]

No Dairy Queen in Preston Hollow.

Now that's funny!!!

No Dairy Queen in Preston Hollow.

We've got 3 of them, 2 sonics, 2 McDs, 2 Jack in the Box, Mr. Gatti's Pizza, Papa John's Pizza, Dominos, KFC, Church's, Subway, Taco Cabana and Taco Bell. Lot's of local BBQ and Tex-Mex, and none of it is any good. As far as table service chains, we have IHOP and Chili's...that's it.

WDW dining and even the chains in the area, are heaven.

*Drool* I can't tell you how much I miss Taco Cabana!

It was the perfect "on the way home from the bars" meal!

 

[zeitzeuge]

I lurv me some Jack in the Crack.

Taco Cabana? Not so much, although yes a great place to go to when you're drunk. They serve beer.

And the Texass fine dining thread continues ... Burp!

Yeehaawww!

 

[MonorailMan]

I hate most chains.
Detest Olivegarden

But Magianno's is kinda nice.
It's not the northend but ...

I don't do chains either. And when I do I usually won't admit to it.

Bless your heart, you seem jealous of our dining options. Ya know, Sonic has Chicken Strip baskets.

Bless your own heart.
We don't have sonic up here.
Actually not a lot of chains right in the city.

But you can't swing a dead cat without hitting
a Cheesecake Factory in the burbs.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Chuck, I hope your Sonic is better than the ones around here. We have a bunch, and none of them are all that good.
I am sad that we don't have a Dairy Queen.
I will say the Crepe Maker at the mall has an amazing chicken crepe with spinach, tomatoes, cheese, walnuts, and raspberry sauce.

Also in the mall we have: PF Chang's, Maggiano's, Corner Bakery, Le Madeleine, McCormick & Shmick, Kona Grill (which I didn't love the one time we went - no relation to the Kona at the Poly, which we love), TGI Fridays, and the typical food court stuff, Sonic, Chick Fil A, Tin Star, Panda Express, a salad place and a pizza place.

 

[MonorailMan]

Speaking of Chick-Fil-A.......

Does anyone else find it a bit strange that the employees have a "spiel", which is similar to the WDW cast members' infamous line, "Have a magical day"? Several months ago I went to 2 different CFAs in one week and there were 4 different employees who all said the same line. It was something like, "It was indeed my pleasure!", after any time any customer said "Thank you".

Do you have any idea how creepy it is hearing an 18 year-old say that??
