mudbug said:I agree with you, norgeskog. I had my first Marie's meal in southern California years and years ago and it was wonderful. Bought their frozen chicken pot pies for a long time until they "improved" the crust and ruined it.
Otter said:The reason I asked the question is that other than the chains, we have no interesting food here. There are a few local restaurants that do good burgers and hot beef sandwiches, but the scope is very limited. So far, it's Ground Round #1, Perkins #2, and Applebee's #3. When we lived in CA we went to TGIFridays quite often, and Chili's to a lesser extent. Stuart Anerson's Black Angus was pretty good a long time ago, but they went downhill really fast. I noticed they changed the name and folded a while later, which is probably a blessing.
mudbug said:I think the salt content of ALL the frozen dinners is pretty much stratospheric, including the Lean Cuisine ones.
That's probably why they all begin to taste the same if you eat them too many nights in a row.
Speaking of another place that got ruined - when my dad was in his early airline days, they used to go to this great place in Seattle that was known for a good, cheap breakfast. It was called Starbucks.

mudbug said:Actually, I have never liked Starbucks much at all. Should have mentioned that one when Otter first introduced this thread.

Contradicting myself here, but our local Roadhouse is always packed; however, the time we ate there the service and food were terrible.
The Roadhouse here in Eugene runs hot and cold. I have eaten there three times and once was great, once good and the last time awful. The first two times I had their ribs, the last time a steak and it belonged on the sole of my shoe.
