When traveling, predictable is preferred often as not, until one gets reccos, but chains have their system which usually works economically. My step son in law was a CIA graduate and worked at one of the major Italian chains, he told me they had good food, and a system (Mac Grill I think it was). We used to get lunch there in Cincy at times, I usually had some gift cards and it was decent.
I chuckle today passing two places we tried to help out during COVID getting take out, both places today are slammed. We rarely dine at either now, one is next door (and noisy at night).
