Our late-night diner after the bars closed was a place that only served RC that the waitress would bring the can to you tucked in her armpit, the bathroom was literally a broom closet with a light hanging on a wire and the light didn't work, but the food was fantastic.

I don't consider the food at Waffle House fantastic - unless they put a double-breaded cheeseburger on the menu.

I would substitute Ruby Tuesday for Chili's. Or pretty much anything from the Landry's portfolio.

I thought about Ruby Tuesday's but their salad bar isn't bad.

I should have thrown TGIF in there.

Chili’s, Friday’s and Applebee’s are awful. When I lived in Montana my father in law was coming for a visit and my wife asked locals what was a nice place to eat.. we had been there only a few weeks. WHen she reported to me one acquaintance suggested Applebee’s I told her that she was never to listen to that person again.

We did a thread like this before. Uncle Julio's can go on the scrap heap.

And Chili's. But it was 26-27 years ago.

And Applebee’s and longhorn and I’m tapped out. Longhorn was outside of Iowa city while driving to Omaha. It was not good but I’d say better than the chili’s, Applebee’s and fridays that I’ve had. Better than fast food too which I knew I’d have a dozen time over the next week in rural Nebraska, Iowa And Missouri.

One of the original owners of the company I work for was an older, very older man. He'd go out to lunch every day with his regular group to various places.

But, when those people weren't available, I'd go with him and he and I would always go to Olive Garden because none of his regular group would eat there and he loved that place.

Let's cull the dining herd a bit.

Dr. Kens top 10 restaurants which should be killed off by Covid-19?


Chili's
Applebee's
Longhorn Steakhouse
Rock Bottom Brewery
Olive Garden
Claim Jumper
Zaxby's
McDonald's
RAM Brewery
Waffle House



Waffle House, I admit, controversial. I just did that to piss Hawg off. But, I have to say I was not impressed and it was pretty dirty and uncomfortable but I suppose if I was drunk at 2am it would have hit the spot.

Anybody want to argue on behalf of the others? There is nothing at McDonald's that I like. I'll eat it. We go there nearly every day because Dr. Ken Jr. III loves McNuggets. The Hot N Spicy Chicken is edible and affordable.

Thoughts?



Claim Company is okay. Their fajitas are decent for a franchise. I’ve only ever been to the one in Ver on Hills, but they have a really good selection of local beers from Lake County on tap...even that Kings and Convicts swill. Plus they have this ice cream pie dessert thing they make with Homer’s Ice Cream.

I thought Zaxbys was far superior to a chick-fil-a.

Waffle House is legit, although using it as a tool to pick on Hawg is always permitted. It’s one of my favorite activities.

The rest of that list can be crammed on a diseased cruise ship and sunk by the navy.

I had seen Zaxby's through their NASCAR sponsorship so when we were in Tennessee, I thought we should all go try this.

I didn't get it. It wasn't great. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing but none of the family was impressed.

That was my reaction as well. I was at a conference with a client who had lived in the south and insisted on going there for lunch. A waste.

Definitely. It's not even the mediocre mall-type food they serve that offends me. It's the ridiculous prices.

I think Taco Bell qualifies more as Mexican food than Uncle Julio's does. At least Taco Bell isn't pretending to be something fancy.

We used to go to the Rusty pelican all the time. Saw a mug at good will and regret not buying it. You guys are naming all of my daughter's favorite restaurants. There are things I can order at all of them. There is no place I hate more than TGIFs though.

In a melting pot metropolis like Chicago, that a place like Uncle Julios could survive is disheartening.

I am going to try and eat something in a couple of minutes. I did have some smoke, so that should assist.
