Is this a joke? That place was awful when I went there (which I'm embarrassed to even say that I've been). The only thing that is good about chain restaurants is that they are consistent.
I can't believe DWeb has come to the point that we are discussing chain restaurants. What's next, styrofoam coolers?!?
Fuck that. Half you people probably eat fast food fairly often and have a cabinet stocked with cans. There's nothing wrong with stopping by a chain restaurant to grab something to eat when you don't feel like cooking.
Your Bonefish must suck, the ones I've been to are abnormally great, or you got it into your head that it wasn't going to be good before you ever went through the door.
God damn. I've been to top-tier establishments all over the world, some of which won't let you out the door for less than $500, as well as eaten plenty of food in places most travelers would never come anywhere
near. My favorite place to eat is
Boston fucking Market.
Nothing wrong with that. At least I didn't have to cook it.
We've got some pretty good local steakhouses here, but like many local-type establishments, most are only referred to as good because people refer to them as good. It's just an infinite loop that doesn't go away.
Even the places that have become much worse over the years are still considered great; and people who drive through love to brag about the obscure place they've had a great steak the same way they're always "discovering" crap bands.
It
must be good, because it's some place nobody has heard about...
Chain restaurants serve food. Food is required for survival. If you want to see how good it is, just tell them to leave the sauces and extra seasonings on the side.
I just had a can of Chef Boyardee Mini Shells and Meatballs, and dipped a grilled cheese in it several times; washing it down with Mountain Dew. I'm no longer hungry, and I enjoyed it.
