I live too close to New Orleans to ever want to venture into a chain restaurant. I’m not a food snob it’s just the food around here is so good. Year round.
Agreed. I’m close to Pittsburgh. Why would I go to Applebee’s when for a little more, I can go to Bock Town, 6 Penn, Butcher in the Rye . . . I could go on. I’d rather go out to eat less often and eat at these places than go to a chain restaurant. Plus, my kids (7 and under) are also foodies. I love watching the looks on peoples’ faces when they request guacamole, sweet potatoes with cinnamon only, and medium grilled salmon.
