Five Not So Hot Eateries


Photo:http://www.slashfood.com/2010/04/27/applebees-introduces-regional-burgers/

I remember when I thought Red Lobster and Applebees were the bees knee! Then my palate advanced! I moved to Houston and began experiencing some of the fantastic cuisine the great state had to offer! So this week, name five eateries that you thought were so divine that are not even on your radar any longer!  No offense to the people who love these places!

Mine?

Red Lobster - when you have experienced Sea Bass in a light lobster broth, Red Lobster will NEVER be a joint you want to frequent

Olive Garden - confession...I still go here on rare occasions because their salad dressing is delicious #DontJudgeMe.  However, if you ever experience fresh, homemade pasta made daily! Bay bey I PROMISE you will NEVER want to eat at Olive Garden again...Trust me! Fresh pasta is allathat!

Applebees - this was a hot high school hangout.  We thought we were doing IT when we went there! LOL

Bennigans - If I'm being honest, they used to have the banginest chicken fingers...Just sayin

A fifth restaurant is failing to cross my memory...I'm old hell! LOL

Oh wait!!! The local hood spot! LOLOL With the exception of Bean Burger Doug's...dude used to flip these huge burgers with his fangas, served food out of the back of his house and his burgers used to hit the SPOT after a late night of clubbing! LOLOL

What yall got?????

I agree with all your picks. I generally stay away from chain restaurants -- we have so many locally owned places with much better quality. I never understood living at the beach and going to Red Lobster when we have so many restaurants that serve FRESH seafood.
