I began thinking last week when one of my north Missississississippi in-laws said, "Wow, you guys are getting a Red Lobster! LUCKY!" I sat in utter amazement at how I was lucky. Then I realized that I actually have never eaten at one of thes fine-frozen-seafood-from-the-back-of-a-truck-establishments. I am 34. Now, what big name restaurants have you never entered?

Red Lobster
Shakey's Pizza
Shake and Steak/Steak and Shake (whatever)
TGIFriday
Johnny's Pizza (The North La. phenom...)
PF Chang's

Jamba Juice if that counts. By the way, Red Lobster isn't great or anything. But it's edible, more than I can say for TGI Friday's, or Chilli's.

And Steak and Shake is delicious. I guess it depends on what you expect for six bucks.

I'd consider separating out fast food, from sit down chain places.

Shakey's closed in New Orleans 25 years ago, but they were like local pizza joints, almost. Went to that all through high school. Sadly I've been to a few of these, when in-laws and others insist, you have to suck it up and go so as not to be a prig.
