    You can do whiskey too. If that is your preference. Same mix.

    yeah, but they're less than a block away and open 24/7. All the other liquor stores are closed.

    If you're going to have an Old Fashioned, you need someone to make it for you that knows how to make one. The best place to do so would be at a supper club in northern Wisconsin.

    yeah I've had a whiskey old fashioned (only way I knew to make one) and they're delicious. I do have whiskey. Unfortunately, I don't have any bitters, sprite, or any other mixing agents. Well, maybe not unfortunately. But unfortunate if I want to have a mixed drink.

    This is true. It can be butchered real quick.

    I hate TGI Fridays, food and service are awful. Red Robin is bad too.

    I've always liked Chili's.

    I just looked on google, it says supper club. We may have to go try it out. Only downside though is I can't drink there. If I went to WI I could have a few with my dad. :tu:

    What about Culver's?

    I love me some Culver's...

    And I agree with the Qdoba comments above- good stuff!!

    And I've been on a Little Caesars "$5 Hot N Ready" kick here lately- $5 and it's enough that it feeds me for 2 lunches at work!

    oh, God...Little Sleazers!
    I say this as a Detroit-area native...I hate Little Caesars. You know why? Canned mushrooms. CANNED MUSHROOMS! On a flippin' fresh made, hand tossed, not frozen pizza. CANNED FREAKIN' MUSHROOMS! Screw you, Mr. Illitch. Screw you and your empire.

    Hot n readies are the nastiest thing I've ever ingested. The thought of them literally makes my stomach turn

    I've only read the first two pages of this thread, but can think of gobs of bad chain restaurants.

    Applebee's

    Ruby Tuesday's

    Outback

    Red Lobster

    Panera Bread

    Olive Garden

    Firehouse Subs

    Petro's

    Five Guy's Burgers

    Chili's

    Xaxby's

    ..................it's getting late, about bedtime, I'll ramble on a little later in a day or two. I'd just as soon eat at Shoney's or the Cracker Barrel myself.

    Burgers are great but their fish dinners are disgusting.

    Five Guys Burgers are amazing IMO. Don't see how you don't like them?
