My step son is a Culinary Institute Graduate (he doesn't work in the area now).  He told me his first job was at Macaroni Grill and I expect him to turn up his nose, but he said they did a good job there.  He was on the grill and everything he used was "real".  They had a specific cooking process of course, but he said they were good.

We have almost eliminated dining at chains, but I think some are "OK" if they are consistent, I've been in some decent Applebies when traveling and some that were horrible.  I think Olive Garden could be the same way, I'd go there for lunch way back with folks from work and the place we were was fine.  

I've been in some nasty Subways and some that were fine.

In some small towns, you are obviously limited as to choice, and if you are traveling you don't know where to go otherwise.

A buddy of mine would go to Kroger and get a salad and nice bottle of wine and take it back to the hotel.

Oh, work lunches, there's another thing that ends up at chain restaurants.  My former boss was not adventurous at all, so we always went to Macaroni Grill, Joe's Crab Shack, Carraba's.

At least he didn't make us go to Applebee's.  That's among my least favorite of all of them.

I like Olive Garden and Longhorn.  Restaurant chains make billions of dollars a year and no one likes them.  Lol.  Strange.
I think I've been to Chili's about 3 times in the last 5 years. I don't consider it bad. It's not great, but at least the food there has seasoning.

Outback once in the last 5 years and while I'd go back for a burger / awesome blossom and beers or something, will NEVER order another steak at that place after my last experience. I'd have been ashamed to serve that steak to a guest off of my own grill.

Haven't been to Olive Garden in the last 5 years, but my wife and I talk about going just for the soup/salad/breadsticks thing.

Haven't been to an Applebee's, TGI Fridays, or any of those types of places in the past 5 years either. 

But then, I'm a admitted food snob.

Budweiser/Miller/Coors sells billions of gallons of beer per year but it's completely disgusting crap.  People are dumb and have terrible taste.  Film at 11.

:)
Q: Why is light beer like sex in a canoe?
A: Both are f#$^%g close to water.

That said, I don't mind an MGD or a Coors Banquet every now and again.

yup, and Toyotas and Fords are popular
Yep. A Toyota Camry is kinda like a Coors Light. Well-made and high quality, but entirely bland and forgettable.

A lot of people buy a Toyota Camry. None are particularly excited about the prospect.

I suspect a lot of folks who bought a BMW 3 Series drive it entirely the same way one could drive a Camry.

On a lark, I picked up four small frozen lobster tails at Kroger today, $24 for the quartet.

Curiosity finally won out.

When I lived in Rochester, the only things that were open after 9 PM near where I lived was Applebees and Taco Bell. When you get home from reffing basketball in some small town an hour south of Roch, well, I'm ashamed to admit I frequented those two establishments far more than I would have liked to.

I would allow the ex-GF talk me into lunch at Olive Garden once or twice a year

unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks for not too much cash

didn't suck

Disagree.

Taco Bell is trash, but it's cheap, easy, convenient calories thrown down your gullet. 

You have to make much more of an effort to sit down in an Applebee's, order a meal, and then it's a lot more expensive than Taco Bell. But the food is equally trash. 

Fast food is the equivalent of drinking plastic jug vodka to get hammered. It gets the job done quickly and cheaply, and you know you're a degenerate for doing it but at least you're owning it. Applebees is like getting drunk on a box of Franzia Rose. It aspires to a level of class that it can't even begin to hope to reach.

well, this poor dirt farmer isn't much of a snob, but I don't drink plastic jug vodka

at least you can get bone-in chicken wings, fries, and a beer on tap at Applebees - not quality, but much better than the filler ground mystery meat at Taco Bell
