Sorry for calling you on your hypocrisy. Can you go back to that thread and explain your comment?

It's different in the suburbs. There's plenty of chains, but there's tons of local. There's room for both.

I have no clue what people would do around here if there were no chains actually. I mean, I live on the border of 2 normal neighboring suburbs, which has a total population of almost 70,000, in an area of like 16 sq. miles. There's no way local joints alone could support that.

This. Chains serve a necessary purpose IMO. The incessant bitching about them on here gets old. No one is forcing anyone to eat at them, so what's big deal?

They don't serve any purpose on a food board except to provide a forum for you to defend their "honor".

I'm defending their honor here?

Regardless, I guess I missed the description of this board where food was only "local and fine dining" food and drink board.

I went to Red Lobster once and didn't evening the biscuits. *ducks*

Those breadsticks at Captain D's are great though.
*runs back out of thread*

Fyi both above statements are true

So a restaurant has no purpose on a food board if it is corporate owned and has more than one location. Check.

How about your choice of wine? If I think it sucks should I tell you the wine you like is commercial corporate owned crap and has no purpose on a food and drink board? Do you only drink Feliciana Cellars wine which is locally made or do you drink French, Italian or California wine many of which are corporate conglomerates?

I have a feeling everyone that is against chain restaurants and corporate interstate business is sitting in a local owned, farm to table restaurant, enjoying handmade charcuterie and a local micro brew while ordering a pair of shoes or clothes or any of a million other things off Amazon in order to save the 9% state and local sales tax therefore depriving the "mom and pop" clothing or shoe store of much needed commerce and support.

You people are funny.

I never made that comment.

I simply stated that threads like Red Lobster and Taco Bell only get started on a Food Board because folks like LNCHBX. He comes in fighting and we get 10 pages of foolish argument, that rarely has anything to do about food.
