    Oh dude, so many fuckin times I have people want to talk to me about chain fuckin restaurants. “Oh I hear we’re getting an olive garden!” “Did you see the Texas Roadhouse just opened”, oh can’t wait!

    Who gives a shit that yet another chain is opening. How empty is your life where an olive garden opening is something you’re actually excited about? Go find a local Italian place that serves real Italian food. Find the local chicken place. Guaranteed it’s about the same price as chains now, and the family running it will be much happier for your business than the suits in charge of the chain.

      When I was a kid, sonic commercials aired regularly for about a decade, even with the closest one being several hours and multiple states away. In late high school, I finally visited the south and was so excited to go to sonic. What a disappointment. Krispy Kreme actually completely lived up to the hype, but eating a donut kind of ruins my day.
