"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I had fun the one and only time I went, but that was because I got to meet Laura, there were cute waiters, and I got to see ita and Kat react to the enforced fun.

Wait a second, I don't mind Buca di Beppo. In fact, I kind of like it, for a chain restaurant with industrial sized portions. The enforced fun is completely ignorable by me.

In general, chain restaurants don't bother me, and I even have an unhealthy obsession with some. They are what they are, which is generally bland but somewhat consistent food (consistently bland). The one I'm most obsessed with, Cracker Barrel, isn't in California and I love them because they are road trip food.

In fact, we did an entire road trip where we ate at CB at least once a day. It's pasty white food (mmmm dumplins!) for pasty white people.

I've never actually been to an Olive Garden, but I have this issue with a variety of things -- I like the cheesy mass-market version, I like the fancy "real" version. Not because they are similar, but because they each have something to recommend them.

And, this is what I really meant.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I will always have a fondness for Cracker Barrel, because I once met my sister and her GF there (in Rockford, which is halfway between Chicago and Madison). At that meeting, my youngest son was conceived.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

So anybody here have any knowledge or opinion of John Roberts? I think I read about him (that he was the more deliberative of two likely nominees who weren't Gonzales) and the newscasters were talking about how intelligent he is, but, then again, it's not Scalia's intelligence I question.

Waffle House. Pecan waffle. Mmmmmm.

Hopefully with neither of the two people you mention meeting.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Nah, they were done in 10 minutes.

Thanks, Jesse! I missed the intro, but that was it.

Never been to a waffle house.

I don't mind chain food, especially for dinner. But for breakfast? no. though chainlets like Roscoe's are fine. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.

I love Waffle House, but I have to go a fair ways south to find one. We have to make do with IHOP here. (I first typed "iHop")

And for sanitation purposes, I hope not in Cracker Barrel either.
