Incidentally, Nixon's brother Donald operated a drive-in restaurant on Whittier Blvd.--called Nixon's--from 1952-1957. Great patty melts were to be had there.
I say deport 'em if they don't know which "they're" to use!
We think we get the most bang for our buck at (if the food is good) Mexican and Indian restaurants and Bob Evans. Most others are a crap shoot at best.
Red Lobster has terrible seafood. The driveby seafood joints in Seattle have better stuff.
Have only been to Olive Garden twice, but they seemed better. It is hard to mess up pasta and salad.
Olive Garden is Moochelle’s resturant.
As for Olive Garden: had not been there in years, until I think we went on New Year's Day, due to few places were open, and it was the chance to eat out for our wedding anniversary. I had something that was lobster/seafood cannelloni (?), which was amazingly wonderful. It was one of the pricier items on the menu, but it did not disappoint.
Thank you for your report.
Long as they don’t mess with the salad. I don’t much care for Olive Garden’s entrees, but I love the salad.
We used to do take out Olive Garden because it was close to my office and the boss was buying. (:
Red Lobster was always, I thought, overpriced for the quality and amount of food. For a couple bucks more per entree, you could eat at a decent restaurant.
Not really. A strong economy can support all these outfits and always has been able to do so fairly well.
The issue is --the type of society the globalists are building here is very much like a Scandinavian society on steroids.
Meaning, eating out is reserved for the elites and special occasions. McDonald's for a family of four in any of the Scandinavian countries will run you $50 and higher. TGIFs, or the like, easily well over $100. The only thing really affordable is, maybe, an immigrant run (usually Turks)pizza joint.
If they are successful at fundamental transformation of the United States, expect only a handful of these places to survive.
Thanx
They’ve been doing this in grocery stores for several years. Smaller containers at the same or higher price.
When we lived in LA we often went to a little Italian place in Van Nuys that was awesome. It was tiny, one cook, two hot waitresses and cheap prices. The night before we moved back to Texas we went there to eat. When we told the owner we were moving he gave us “our last supper” for free.
About a year later I asked a friend if he was still going to that restaurant and he told me the guy got busted for selling drugs. Apparently the restaurant was a front.
Yes, the portions have gotten smaller and the quality has declined. However, you can see that even in the food you buy at the grocery stores. Meat is expensive and lower quality, and convenience foods are using cheaper ingredients.
We are becoming the kind of socialist dump that Obama has always wanted to create. Next we’ll be living in 800 sq. ft. apartments that have the washing machine in the kitchen, just like Europeans.
Wel... sort of, but if you watch this episode of Top Gear about commie made cars, you will see that even the elite end up with crapola.

Hey, Darden...Elections.Have.Consequences
Yes, I’ve noticed that, too, but at least you see the package size and price up front before you buy it. At the restaurant, you order something you have had before expecting the same thing (at the same or higher price) and then it comes and it’s like what happened?
, I argued with the waitress that she had brought me a child’s portion.
This just enrages me. I am a petite person and don’t eat that much, but it’s the being taken for a fool that gets me. If they want to do this, I would rather they put a note in the menu saying that they have had to increase their prices due to (insert reason) than play these little games thinking we won’t notice and just continue coming and getting ripped off. My poor husband is always leaving restaurants hungry!
