I dunno. Most of the places I went to when I've been over there weren't exactly "high profile" establishments. But... I was always in major cities so even the low-end places maybe had better sanitary precautions than the places out in the boonies.

But again, if you want to talk about the difference between "average" and "premier", a lot more people in this country eat McDonald's and Outback than eat Ruth's Chris and Morton's. Some of our "average" food is pretty sh!t too--but I'll grant that we have better sanitary and food safety guidelines here than most other countries.
Are your average Americans eating cat, dog, and fried bugs on a stick like the Chinese? Or any of this shit:

Ya, didn’t think so. I’m kinda with badge, Chinese food sucks dirty ass in my not so humble opinion. Have zero desire to ever go to China. F**k that place.

By the way, that new “fresh” never frozen cooked to order quarter pounder at McDonalds is pretty damn good. I was shocked actually. It’s the only good thing on their menu though. Oh that and their fries- their fries are like crack cocaine when fresh. Have to demand they are fresh though. They usually just try to give out the old stale ones. 

Outback used to be good way back in the day. I don’t know what happened but it turned to shit fast. 

I think I like Morton’s best of all the expensive chain steakhouses. Not a big fan of Ruth’s Chris or Capital Grille.

Capital is easily the worst IMO.  I'd just as soon go to an Outback.  Ruth's and Morton's are both fine enough for a business dinner where I'm not paying.

I like Morton's a little better than Ruth's Chris.  I like a local place called Jeffrey's quite a bit more than both, but it's also quite a bit more expensive than both-- it was George W Bush's favorite restaurant in Austin, for reference.

But I cook a steak as well as or better than all of them. And for quite bit less money.  Plus most of those places have way too much crappy California wine and not nearly enough delicious Bordeaux on their wine lists.  

So I cook delicious American steaks and drink delicious French wine at home, almost exclusively.

I’d agree with this. Capital Grille is terrible because it’s honestly no better than Outback and 4x the price. Feel ripped off every time I’ve ever been there. 

Personally I’d rank them Morton-1, RC- 2, Capital-3. 

I went to a Longhorn near the Orlando airport not that long ago. I thought it was excellent for the price. It kicks the shit out of Outback- not that that’s hard to do- I’m surprised it’s not as well known or popular as Outback nationally- it’s significantly better and it’s at the same price point.

We went to Outback all the time when we were kids, simply because it was the best meal my parents could get that also had a kid's menu.  Once we weened off the kid's menu, we stopped going, it's so expensive for what it is.  The only time I've been in the last 20 years was when I won a $50 gift card in a raffle.  It still didn't come close to covering two meals.

I've never been to a Longhorn, but you aren't the first person to say that.

Don’t care what any Californian hippie jagoff says- the wine in France or Italy is waaaaaay better. 

You can buy cheap wines over there at grocery stores that blow the tits off any of the overpriced lighter fluid made in California. It’s incredible really.

California sucks imo. F**k that place.

We had a Seattle client take us Midwest hicks to a Capital Grille one night.  I was like, really?  We all ordered seafood.

Agree on Longhorn > Outback.  I like Morton’s, RC, and CG but we don’t have any of those in WV so it’s probably more of a treat to me than others.

The best local steak restaurant in my neck of the woods is probably Prime 44 at The Greenbrier Resort.  It’s a shrine to Jerry West who has a home there. Pretty cool place.

My Athlon order showed up today.  Normally I'd be mad they screwed up and sent the UM cover, but instead I'm mad that it's as useless as the weekly circular

Lol. There are people who sit around actively searching for something that may offend them.  If they aren’t sure if it offends them they err on the side of taking offense just in case.

The name? "Gator?"  Or "bait?"

Tell me about it.

Mike Gundy about to lose his team and his job over a t-shirt he wore on a fishing trip.

I’d have told Chuba Hubbard to take his ass back to Canada and told everyone else to suck my ass if I was Mike Gundy.

We are living in the craziest times ever.
