Food places you'd like to see go out of business

Whataburger was the original overpriced burger joint.

ive never had it.

Shucks in Omaha had surprisingly good seafood imo

That's because they fly it in fresh twice a day

I think Red Lobster is on their way out. That used to be one of my favorite chain restaurants, but man have they gone downhill

you’re right.

 

[dbldwn711]

It’s really not bad, way too crowded and not near as good as Zaxby’s

But as of a couple years ago, they were the most profitable chain restaurant per location in the USA and that’s with them being closed on Sundays

you’re right again!

be kind. stick to your resolution

Women make those.

Anybody who's worked more than 5 minutes in a service industry could tell them these commercials of everyone joyfully assembling the food couldn't be further from reality.

My buddy went to work in the kitchen of a major 5-star hotel restaurant. He came out with a severe cocaine addiction.

+alcoholism and a couple STD’s.

The high end restaurant folk are PAR-ti-ERS! I have a couple friends in it and most of the stories are completely illegal.

Not at all surprising. I really wouldn't have minded making a career out of trying to become high-up in that industry because I always enjoyed the cooking itself, but to me completely not worth what you've got to do to climb that ladder (assuming you're able to even do so). Hell even if you do get pretty far it's much of the same at/near the top.

I tried it out in my early 20s. Quit when my bar tab at the hotel restaurant left me wit a $3 paycheck one week.

We had a Long John Silvers here. It wasnt bad, but it was in a bad location and I think most folks just never remembered it was there. I know I did.

Never liked the food at Sonic, but in the summer they have a happy hour where their shakes are half price, so I would go there sometimes and get shakes for the family. Then I got a shake one time where I dont think they cleaned the machine correctly because I took a sip and it tasted wrong. Threw it out and havent been back since.

There is a stand alone restaurant here that is half a Long John Silver’s and half a Taco Bell. No idea if they use the same kitchen has I’ve been scared to go in there. Honestly I think the building should be blown up and the people who came up with the idea executed.

I literally could not conceive of worse bastardization of the food industry than that Satan spawn.

there was one near here (luckily that I had never been to) that had to fire the entire staff because they got caught pissing in the batter.

They ran out of vinegar?

They’re building a KFC-Taco Bell combo in a near by town. Will not eat there

Sonic. Their food sucks, but the main reason I want them to go out of business is their commercials will stop. The recent one where they keep saying “Texas Toast” makes me want to strangle someone.

but they have good ice cream slushes to beat the summer heat.

 

[RoyMunson]

I want none of them to go out of business. Sure, I don't want to eat at Waffle House, but if it closed, all the riff raff would need somewhere else to eat and I might have to interact with them at my favorite places.

 

[RobBase]

Taco Bell for the win and it's not even close. Fucking hate that place. It's all the same shit....just packaged differently. They all contain the same ingredients!

They stopped making the Mexican pizza around here and im still not sure why. It’s not like they don’t have the stuff to make it.

Why do they do this? You would have to put a gun to my head to make me walk through the door.

First time I ever smoked weed was w the cooks at a sports bar where I worked as a pizza cook. One time I burned Jim Kelly’s pizza (he was in town to play the Lions) because I got high and forgot about it. Got screamed at for that one.

It’s where all the Planet Fitness members flock to after sitting around eating pizza at the gym,
