worst sounding sushi roll at guy fieri's southern bbq & california style sushi restaurant tex wasabi's

bertuccis used to be good but seriously lost its way

best chain in Boston = the 99

This has got to be a fucking joke.

I am a guy who regularly douses himself in soy sauce but even I was all

when I went to applebee's and outback this year

THE 99?!

i've def been to worse places than the 99

strongo I hope this thread and your ensuing trip to Guy's Whatever Restaurant results in an exciting new round of updates to strongo's nuevo cuisine

ok yeah most of my bertucci's eating was back in the 90s when i was a kid, havent been recently except for take-out pizza and wld not be surprised if it sucks now that they've gone big

CAD I'm not sure that I have but maybe I just had a particularly horrific experience.

ew my god that cheese steak picture puke

was just trying to gauge olive garden's quality via comparison, out of curiosity

oh man i should really hit guy up for some venture capital

yeah I mean their portions and calories are what they are but its not like the food itself is revolting

oh dude, you are so lucky; remember these days because you will be pissed when you notice how much Cheesecake Factory's food fucking sucks (I think it was the thai chicken pasta that broke me, it basically tasted like someone had vomited peanut butter onto chicken alfredo)

also the 99 is going to be a nightmare if you don't eat meat

there was a 99 in south jersey once, it closed

i mean if anyone understands the d.s.n.c. aesthetic

Cheesecake Factory is kind of... amazing. Everything is a well-tested bomb of flavor, portions are huge, and the menu has ADVERTISEMENTS in it. Like car ads or something inside the cover

lol yes. A student of ours who works there (the tips are amazing, he says) claims that everything on the menu – everything – is cooked fresh on the premises, not frozen. Food prep people arrive at 3 a.m., he says.

I had a hamburger there that I wanted cooked medium rare and it came out well done

but let's get back to Guy's blue watermelon martini, because that looks amazing

I had a hamburger there that I wanted cooked medium rare and it came out well done

so what are you complaining about?

there was an article about the cheesecake factory and its machine-like-processes..where was it, the new yorker?

THANK YOU, DAN

there was an article about that recently, their training is insane and the food prep is incredibly good, delivering an amazingly consistent product, even across cheesecake factories

the product is unfortunately cheesecake factory food, though

yeah that was in the nyer

and the article was actually about health care i think? it was weird.

it was about applying cheesecake factory methods to the medical industry. tbh, it'd probably be better in the service of consistent medical care than in food

Not if medical care is as consistent as the Factory's taquito rolls.

Wait can we just - what is he even eating in that last pic? I do not understand what's happening there.

best chain in Boston = the 99
2nd best = Pizzeria Regina

regina is legit though i rarely go there

these places fulfill the mid-century american dream of being able to drive anywhere around the country, go to a familiar restaurant or motel, and get exactly the same product. cheesecake factory somehow does it with fresh ingredients. this is a dream I do not share.

enbb that is a hot dog

because that's how we roll here in flavor town

what is this

O_O A HOT DOG?! wtf.

Regina is fucking delicious and so it Polcaris up on rte 1 because it's owned by them.

My next tattoo, that's what.

delicious, is my guess

It's throwing devil horns, it must be good.

they kind of missed an obvious opportunity there by not calling it "funkin punkin"

headless horseguy

enbb did u know the giant sports depot in allston is now a giant regina?

logo makes it look like a pumpkin beer, probably isn't

can't wait to kick back with my blue watermelon martini and my buffalo bleu-sabi wings at Guy's American Foodcrimescene Restaurant

can i just

I don't think Fieri actually has anything as ridiculous as that hot dog in his restaurant? I got the impression his own food is like applebees inspired by crazy stuff, but not actually crazy

logo makes it look like a pumpkin beer, probably isn't

This autumn ale is made with honey-roasted pumpkins and simmered with ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. A sweet and spicy harvest treat that goes down smoothly.

WOAH
