i find that especially with chains, its not so much the chain itself but the restaurant (as in, the management).. as in, they all run diferently

i went to outbacks by my house and was able to buy shrimp. but when i went to outbacks half an hour south, they had none... bastards

anyway, i cant really sya i like to go out and eat, cuz i love to cook and i cant stand the thought of someone else doing it, not so much the boogers and semen issue, but the fact that they'll put in 3 sticks of butter into everything.

also, its just nice sitting at home, or eating in bed, or something!!

but if i had to pick.....................
.............. :/ got none. LOL. olive garden is prety good, as is buca di beppo,.. maybe a few others.?

My Applebees still kicks ass!!!! BUT, I notice if I go to any other one it fucking sucks. The food taste different, the service isn't near as friendly.....it just SUCKS!! Also my favorite spot is Casa Gallardo...if I go to any other than MINE, its always crap.

Maybe we're just spoiled
