Dude. You know what I mean.
But that also begs one of my favorite questions: Think of the woman you most would like to have sex with. Would you let her do you with a strap on in order to get the chance to bang her?

Most main dishes here in NYC will start at about $12-15. The most expensive meal I've had was at Nobu's here in the city (combination of tenderloin, salmon filet, desserts, wine). Final bill came out to about $300 for the both of us and worth every dollar and cent. I won't be doing that again though anytime soon...
Holy christ. If I ever went out with a woman and spent $300 I better be getting anal and a brazilian.

hops.... i love their jamician steak
99....... i love their sirloin tips...i always ask for well done because they never come back to me well done. the chicken parm is also great there. love those boneless wings too
main street east hartford
savvis... they got like 12 different wraps there. the charleston is my favorite. chicken, bacon, bbq sauce. chicken parm wrap is my gf's fav.
sliders in berlin/theres one in plainville to but i went their once and didnt like it.....little off the pike. they got the best buffalo wings in the state and the personal foul burger is damn good. a side note... its a bar not a restaurant
ming palace..... love their chinese food. i personally wont eat any where else for chinese also the easiest place to eat on a friday night as the chances of getting a table there is good since most people do carry out. if not here on friday then savvis. generally no wait time to get seated
dakotas on the silas deane..... had their terryaki (sp) steak was worth it imho

They're all basically the same crappy quality food with different themes decorating the walls... some are more decorated than the others. And the price of their food increases with the number of words they use in the title of the meal on the menu.
"Sirloin steak" = 9.99
"chef's ultimate 10 ounce succulent sirloin on a pilaffe of rice" for the exact same steak = 14.99
Simply put though, there's no way a chain restaurant can serve "great" food and have consistency across the chain.
And, because of desired uniformity, there's no way they can even serve certain meals.
Go to a really good restaurant once. (Red Lobster ranks right down there with the rest of the crap. It's not a good restaurant.)
Imagine sitting down with a party of 4.
First, your bottle of wine arrives, and a FRESH loaf of Italian bread. (not fresh as in "made this morning", but fresh as in "it's still warm from the oven"
And the salad... no iceberg crap in the salad... REAL homemade dressings, imported vinaigrettes, etc. The salad contains sun ripened tomatoes (not crappy flavorless greenhouse tomatoes) and at least 4 or 5 types of greens (romaine, etc. Again, no iceberg lettuce.)
Hors'd'oevres such as escargot, stuffed mushroom caps (stuffed with crab meat, not breadcrumbs)
And the soup. Homemade, of course; never the stuff from the 1 gallon cans that they crack open in the kitchen. The food doesn't arrive too closely together, but not too spaced out either. Just a nice relaxed pace. Wonderful conversation at the table.
Then the main course - something you will NEVER find in any chain restaurant.
Dessert, again, all homemade.
Owner of the nice Italian restaurant comes over and brings everyone a shot of sambuca to "cleanse the pallet"
Ultimately, your party of 4 is at the restaurant, enjoying themselves for 2 to 3 hours. Every morsel of food was cooked perfectly. Service was exceptional.
As frugal as I am, I still don't mind paying $300 for that meal.

Really? I guess you should go off and be happy with a Big Mac then.

STAY AWAY FROM MALL FOOD.
But if you must, then try PF Chang's, The Cheesecake Factory, or Outback.
Seriously, what is your zipcode?

Lawry's prime rib is definitely worth more than $15. And yes, Rainforest Cafe sucks big time. Especially with all the damn kids everywhere. God I hate that place.
