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.

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.

I loved their fried ice cream ie the unhealthiest thing I've ate in my life:

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

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.

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.

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

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.

YOU developed a deep and abiding dislike -- i wouldn't extend this to the entire populace

I legit love PF Chang's and I don't care who knows it.

now we know it and you'll pay

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 16 November 2012 15:35 (twelve years ago) link

Oh you will pay.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 16 November 2012 15:36 (twelve years ago) link

And now that I've torpedoed my food cred with my professed love of canned cream of mushroom soup and PF Changs, let me say that the answer to this:

should i put shredded cheese in my coffee y/n

is YES. Fill a coffee cup with shredded cheddar, pour hot coffee over it, put a plate on top and let the cheese melt. Then you scoop out the cheese with a fork and put it on biscuits or toast.
