worst sounding sushi roll at guy fieri's southern bbq & california style sushi restaurant tex wasabi's

One year I couldn't go home for Thanksgiving and didn't realize that the grocery store would be closed so wound up having to eat at Boston Market by myself. It was the saddest Thanksgiving ever.

hey i won't hear any shit talk about chi-chi's. i think 11 out of my first 15 birthdays were spent at chi-chi's.

spent mopping the bathrooms, but nevertheless.

That is sad! Was Boston Market the only place that was open?

think I would like to go to a PF Chang's at some point

My first date as a teen was at TGI Friday's

i mean, i definitely ate at all these joints and worked at a few too! I think i did a year at The Cooker and definitely a year at an Applebee's.
The thing is that once you eat and work there and then move to a place where they're not your only option, you develop a deep abiding dislike of them as institutions and places to eat. It's not "Oh these yokels with their underdefined tastebuds"; it's "why in god's name would you go there when there's literally a thousand different options in walking distance"

PF Chang's is classic "somebody at the office has a birthday let's do lunch" place.

Loved Chi Chi's as a kid, but c'mon it was pretty gross

x-posts Boston Market was, in fact, the only place that was open and tbh I was really glad it was because if it hadn't been the whole thing could have been a lot sadder. Maybe. I mean it was my own damn fault for thinking that the grocery store would be open but I was 21 and didn't know anything so.

chi-chi's was fucking disgusting but i would have eaten shredded newspaper if you put it in a taco shell so happy birthday to me

applebees is not overpriced! check it- two entrees and an appetizer for $20. sure the entrees consist entirely of celery but what are you going to do?

Have had celebratory work lunches at:

Chilli's
Red Lobster
Olive Garden
Macaroni Grill

They like to keep morale high

Boston Market's creamed spinach and Carver Club sandwiches were good!

OR CHICHIS

THANK YOU, MR. QUE

GUY FIERI WAS BORN OUT OF ZZ TOPS BEARDS

HIS MOTHER WAS A CHIMICHANGA

HIS FATHER WAS A MOTORCYCLE

They have several entrees named like "oriental chicken salad" at Applebees. I felt vaguely uncomfortable when looking at that on the menu.

THAT IS ONE BIG CHURRO

xp you see, it's made by orientals

THNKAS STRONGOS

top my topas!

Can't believe the words "Hard Rock Cafe" have not appeared here yet.

I'll take an order of the thnkas strongos, side of queravy

what tapas needs is more shredded cheese really

it's TOPAS you savage fuck

Guy Fieri should set up a booth at the MN State Fair and serve all of his food on a stick

Hard Rock was the "cool" place to go for lunch when we'd go into the city in middle school. lol.

should i put shredded cheese in my coffee y/n

"Isn't it WONderful? Ain't that a gas *snicker mm boys snicker*

Probably mentioned this before elsewhere, but I used to work with a dude who had been to nearly every Rainforest Cafe. He and his wife would plan trips that coincided with locations. They even went to one in London.

WONderful

mh, you worked with my college roommate????

three fabulous days of the guy fieri thread

The last time I ate at a Hard Rock Cafe it was for a work-related event -- I think I ended up eating something like $50 worth of food because I was pregnant and I would eat constantly no matter how bad the food was.

Hard Rock Cafe is brilliant, a shitty, overpriced chain restaurant that actually masquerades as a tourist destination.

He's pouring kerosene on those unsuspecting vegetables!

I ate at a Hard Rock Cafe in Cancun once. We later went to Senor Frogs. It was not a good vacation.

guy fieri's around
he's something to do

the Señor Frog's in Cancun was the hip place for college students who wanted to rape and be raped

on rewatching the frug, he really does almost boil over with the seething nihilistic rage toward humanity that i always felt was lurking inside bob ross.

When I found out Bob Ross used to be in the Air Force, so much was clear:

Ross enlisted in the United States Air Force at age 19 after graduating from Orlando High School, the Air Force transferred him to Eielson Air Force Base (in Alaska), where he first saw the snow and mountains that later became recurring themes in his artwork. He developed his quick-painting technique in order to be able to create art for sale in brief daily work breaks. Having held military positions that required him to be, in his own words, "mean" and "tough," "the guy who makes you scrub the latrine, the guy who makes you make your bed, the guy who screams at you for being late to work," Ross decided that if he ever moved on from the military, "it wasn't going to be that way any more," "vowing never to scream again."

Imagine Bob Ross screaming...if you can.

like they're totally not going to kill you if they're your only option but if you're in new york or boston or miami or honolulu why the fuck would you go to a tgifridays?

Five years ago, I went on a family trip to Hawaii. After we were all checked in at our hotel on Waikiki, my folks, who know better and normally would never do this, and who had arrived a couple of days beforehand, said, "Hey we found this really great place for lunch." So we walked over a few blocks and arrived at...a Yard House. I just remember thinking to myself "I have flown halfway across the ocean to go to lunch at a place that's also just a couple of miles from both where I live AND where I work."

I learned from that thread, for example, that there is a restaurant called "Claim Jumper" and it's not supposed to be a "Clam Jumper" which is something I think women wear

Indeed. As for Claim Jumper itself, I think it's a brilliant American success story -- third generation Bulgarian immigrant cannily sizes up the dumb-ass white people of Orange County and thereabouts and sells them an idiotic over the top cowboy/Western-themed restaurant with huge portions, sells out to Landry's a couple of years ago for a mint. I salute his perspicacity when it comes to OC.

that is an amazing atrocity photo, like the burning monk or the vietnam headshot. xxxxxxp.

The thing is that once you eat and work there and then move to a place where they're not your only option, you develop a deep abiding dislike of them as institutions and places to eat.

YOU developed a deep and abiding dislike -- i wouldn't extend this to the entire populace
i'm not trying to stir shit here, i just popped in and saw a bunch posts about poor people and was like O_O
