Not even a recession can come between me and Cracker Barrel.

I've only heard of two: Olive Garden and Panera. None of the others exist around here.

The one restaurant that does well around here is the Log Cabin. You generally get enough food for two meals at a very reasonable price. I can never finish more than half at a sitting but I often see obese people finish off the two to three thousand calorie meals.

We also like O’CHARLIES and FAZOLIS.

Value meals without drinks seem to be the deal. Lots of water with lemon ordered.

Mcdonalds dollar meals sell well and their stock seems to be rising accordingly.

Applebees 2 for $20.00 sells well.

McCormick and Schmick also Has regular specials under $20.00 that are ver good.

Rhe chains who have changed are doing better then the ones who didnt.

[Clemenza]

Aside from Panera, all of the above s-ck.

[Notary Sojac]

I try to eat at local places rather than chains wherever possible, my only exception being Famous Dave’s BBQ.

Texas Roadhouse salts the beef down to an incredible degree.
It might even be kashered.

Give me the family run one of a kind place anytime.

Even fast-food chains like McDonald's....have lost business

Interesting that McDonalds is down in the US but up worldwide.

I think this time, under the yoke of the Baraqqis, the US is the economic laggard. But plenty of opportunities elsewhere for investors.
