f there is one thing in this world that I hate above all things, its most likely chain restaurants. There are a few good ones out there but for the most part I hate them. One though really stands out. This monstrosity of mediocrity. This haven of good intentions ending in failure.
Let me begin on saying that I did work at a Chili's for seven months during high school due to the lack of job opportunities for a 15 year old in my old hometown. Anyway....
The other week a friend (who had just turned 21 a week or two earlier) calls me up all excited and says we should go get a drink since I wasn't able to celebrate his birthday with him. I agree and we begin to think about where to meet. I had been 21 for several months and so i started ratteling off bars, clubs, and local resturants. But for some reason unbeknownst to me, the only place that is worthy of our first legal drink together, is that shithole that is Chili's. I was horrified by his choice and continued suggesting other places to eat. Ten minutes later I found myself driving to the nearest Chili's. Upon arriving i found myself in an exact replica of the same restaurant that i had worked in almost 5 years prior and 400 miles away. the only thing that surprised me was the amount of people in this particular one at 9:30 PM on a Sunday. Is there nowhere better to go than Chili's?
Seriously can any restaurant be that boring or generic? Maybe its because i worked at a Chili's for seven months of my life durning high school. Or maybe its because all my friends wanted to eat there and use my employee discount. (fucking mooches)
I love how every Chili's has those pictures hanging everywhere that show all the cookouts and gettogethers of the most random ass people. What the hell are they trying to pull?!? Are they trying to actually make me believe that someone would actually love this place so much that they would just bring in the pictures from the last family Hodown? Gimme a break people who are you trying to fool?
Now for a more technical aspect, the tables. Now this i don't expect anyone to feel the same way about so if you like there tables thats great but please for the love of God don't send me one or one similar to it as a present haha it will be torched. Maybe its the fact that tiles are so many different colors my eyes start to hurt after a good three minutes of seeing it in my periifrial vision. Maybe its the grout and unevenness of the table top.
I like simple things when eating. No fancy cut glasses or stylish silverware. Call me boring but It shouldn't be what the food comes on that makes the slightest bit of difference. It should be about the food damnit! gimmie a white ass plate, a fork, knife, and a clean glass and I am happy as long as the foods good. If not, well then you won't be seeing me again.
This has been a bitter rant on glorified fast food. Next time Ill tell you about the other shit this country tries to pump into our veins.
