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.
I feel like someone told me Macaroni Grill and Carrabba's were the same but with different names, but a quick google says that might not be true. Macaroni Grill is just an awful name.

Bless the internet for highlighting some good local places.

Plastic jug vodka is a good thing to avoid under almost all conditions.
I say the same for Taco Bell :57:

I was on the road in middle of nowhere Ohio all week long for about two months back in 2012.

There were some ok local places for lunch, but none of them were open for dinner.  The options were McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen and a place called "Oriental Buffet" with no windows

Drinking plastic jug vodka, eating Taco Bell, and rooting for the PAC 12, is no way to go through life, son

Seems like rural Ohio would be strange place for an all-Asian strip club. 

Weird flex, but ok.

 A Toyota Camry is kinda like a Coors Light. Well-made and high quality, but entirely bland and forgettable.
Bland and forgettable is fine when you're not paying out the wazzou for custom everything.Really sux getting to your destination everyday for 15 yrs(literally) in N.Ohio.I'd buy the ugliest car on the lot if I knew it would last the longest efficiently

There are many, but generally presented as massage parlors, and not buffets

Yeah Taco Bell started in Cali in 1962, and took some years to expand westward.

I'm not knocking the Toyota Camry. Great car. Toyota makes wonderful products. I'm the type who, when it comes to a car, just wants the thing to work. Obviously I have different goals in my beer selection--the flavor is more important. But I don't make a beer purchase that has to last me a decade, where that's what I shoot for with a car. If I pick wrong with a beer it only lasts me a six-pack.

14 year old boys don't exactly have posters of a Toyota Camry up on their wall, though...
