I think you just liked CB or you didn't. I was never drawn to CB, mostly because they located on the interstates; that is, families on pleasure trips looked for CB and mostly ate there. They raved about it. My driving on the interstates was almost all as a commercial driver or personal business. I had no time for a sit down and wait for a waitress except for a rest break and that was almost always a truck stop by habit.
Occasionally when I was not working friends would get together at CB and I would join them. I tended to find the menus confusing and paid more because I didn't know the routine. But I can't say anything against them. They seemed OK. These last years I heard about higher prices or smaller portions; I had no experience with that.
I rarely drank Bud Light - but still I resented the company shoving political correctness down everybody's throat. I think any 'established' product that decides that they have a duty to change their faithful customers' minds about 'things' has gone insane and the world can get along without them. I am glad Bud Light has seen the 'light' and I can forgive their stupidity... but I am still unlikely to drink it more than once every leap year or similar.🤷
“families on pleasure trips looked for CB and mostly ate there.”
Guess you’ve never been there at noon on Sunday when the local Baptist churches at getting out.
