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.

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 populacei'm not trying to stir shit here, i just popped in and saw a bunch posts about poor people and was like O_O

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.

I went to the one in Chicago for my 14th birthday. Food was meh, but hey, there's Pete Townshend's guitar!
Years later, found out 90% of the shit on their walls was fake (or just didn't belong to who they said it did).
