Grossest American Chain Restaurant

(But not babyback you up.)

I once read a fascinating long form article about the granddaddy of all of these, TGI Friday’s. At least for the first couple decades they cooked their food in house, while their competitors like Applebees or whatever just Microwaved literally everything.

history of TGIF pretty interesting. memphis had the first one outside of the og in nyc. was considered the hotspot. maybe big star gigged there? they certainly drank there.

Applebees had those $2 Long Island Iced Teas for a while, you could get incredibly wasted for ten bucks
