They aren't simple. They are annoying as frick.
Not EVERY meal on a vacation or during travel has to be some super unique restaurant.
People who insist on this are incredibly pretentious and act like you just suggested child rape is morally okay,just because you want to grab one cheap/quick meal at a chain restaurant.
You aren't somehow more classy or less trashy because you eat at the local hole in the wall over a chain.

They aren't. These are faux status signaling threads. No normal guy worries enough about having a meal at a chain once in a while to make threads about how t

Most people who I would eat with on a trip know me and know that I'm "into" food, so they typically ask me to pick somewhere.

Sometimes you just need to get a decent meal that satisfies your hunger so you can go about enjoying the rest of the life, doing non- food related things, lol.

I was only against chains for dinner. Breakfast and lunch I really didn't care.

My work travel, when it happens, takes me to San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Nashville, etc. Not in a suburb or outskirt, but the heart of downtown. So even if I wanted a chain, I'd have to actively seek it out.
I have no issue with chains. Eat PF Changs 1-2 times a year, Flemings happy hour from time to time, Chick Fil A fairly regularly, etc. I even love McDonalds probably once a month. I am by no means pretentious about it chains.
But I can't imagine being in the heart of downtown in the above cities and ordering a $20+ Uber to find a Chili's. Even when I go somewhere slightly smaller (Oceanside, Carlsbad, Burbank, etc), I'm still in areas with endless amounts of options a stone's throw away so it would be silly to pass them up for Chili's. Y'all act like it takes ~sooo~ much work to open up the Yelp app and pick a restaurant rated highly. It is no more work than opening up your Waze to map to Chili's.
Now - I entirely understand if you travel to shite places not wanting to take a risk on the local run down restaurants.
