Well the fact is that there are some pretty good chains but most of the local places (at least where I am from) have better menus and generally better food. I can't think of a chain I would put in the top 30 restaurants in New Orleans.

I think the OP is pretentious.

I just get a kick out of these brainiacs who know "so much" about what constitutes superior food. I'd like him to learn me.

Is this necessary?

Wherever I find that the food tastes the best. It's subjective.

Please save one of your stupid, maniacal rants on food. If I wanted the opinion of an elderly fat loser I would go ahead and shoot Tom Fitzmorris an e-mail.

brtiger97, not to be confused with LoyolaAttorney from Metarie, where am I flaming? These types of responses are crutches for the intellectually deficient. If you have nothing to contribute to the thread, please find another to waste bandwidth, otherwise I will have to accuse you of flaming.

That all depends how you classify the "top" restaurants of a city. By the ranking system I am imagining you using, I doubt you only eat at top-30 restaurants, which makes your statement beside the point.

No, it's not. It's flat out insulting and unwarranted.

Now, that's a good question...
The NIMBY Andouille is old and clinging to the fading idea that he didn't spend his entire life in a wasteland of stupidity and poverty. If only he knew...

ETA: This conversation is going outside of the boundaries I set forth in the OP. Forgive me for entertaining the delusions of the big sheep.

Well since you have chosen the pretentious mode infused with defensiveness yourself, let me add:

The post above to which you responded was respectful, thoughtful, humble and offered opinions.

e.g. I can't think of a chain I would put

Your choice was to denigrate the poster (as opposed to the posters statements) with "I am imagining" and "I doubt," both meaning that you don't know at all.

Then the grand finish: "beside the point."

So enlighten us. What was your point in making this thread?

Having traveled quite a bit, including most of the gastronomically repudiated Midwest, my personal observation is that central to north Alabama has the worst food culture in the US. Chains proliferate there for a reason, the natives can't cook.

But this is a dumb thread, obviously started by someone who can't buy a legal beer and loves 'happy meals'. I'm out, flame away. I hope you get the toy you want with your next order of Chicken McNuggets.

Thanks for the clarification. In my post I took it the wrong way.

I certainly overestimated the level of discourse this place was capable of having. I guess I should have entertained a long, stupid post by Mike to attract everyone, and then word by word annihilated him and others to prove a point.

I'm learning.

Perhaps you overestimated the level of intelligence of anything you have posted. You have really said close to nothing that would elicit any discourse.

I guess you should have. Or at least made a point.

I was trying to get you to be specific so we could see what you find great food, and yeah, I guess if you find McDonalds to be a delicious meal, then you will probably find Outback to be fine dining and setting the curve.

I'm not fat and not elderly. I just know more about what constitutes good food than your ignorant neck self I can assure you, and judging from your incredibly infantile mentality when it comes to food in this thread of yours.
