Question for y'all. I'm meeting a former coworker for lunch today at Sizzler. |
|
The question is this: Should I get the stomach pump ready NOW, or just wait for the food poisoning yet to come?

1. EEK -- there's better quality beef in dog food! |
|
May God walk with you, my child.

2. That's why I usually get the salad bar or Malibu Chicken. |
|
Which isn't from Malibu, by the way. I know. I live 30 miles from Malibu, and they don't claim to have invented the stuff.

3. Do they have chickens in Malibu? |
|
Little Rolex-wearing ones?

4. I call them cocks, but yes. |
|
And they usually drive convertibles way too fast on Pacific Coast Highway.

5. Malibu chicken is cooked on the running engine of a Chevrolet. |

I remember on the show "Wings" that obnoxious guy had one of those and was cooking food with it.

10. The Lamborghini Chicken is far preferable. |
|
Tough to come by, though.

7. Really? Sizzler? I had no idea they still existed... |
|
I thought they went kaput in the 80's...

8. Well, we used to have 5 in my county and are now down to 1. |
|
But that's one too many in my book. It was my friend's choice where to eat.

12. I remember seeing the ads on TV when I was a little kid.... |
|
and the food looked good, so Mom and Dad lugged my sister and I there once. And that is my entire experience with Sizzler. The handfull of locations just simply vanished.

13. No great loss, really. |
|
Although their cheese toast is actually somewhat tasty, if way oversalted.

16. I think people here lump them together with other chains... |
|
like Red Lobster, TGIFridays, and others. They've tried to make it here, but they just can't. There are WAY too many good restaurants to compete with.

17. Actually, I think that's The Waffle House. |
|
Though admittedly, Sizzler isn't too far behind.

18. Yeah, there's one by us...always has a bunch of cars, too |
|
The Olive Garden is also always packed, despite the large # of good, cheaper Italian restaurants around here.

19. It's like people don't understand that if you go to places like that, you only encourage them. |
|
:mad: Places like that thrive, yet all the good local independent restaurants can't seem to keep their doors open.

20. The local places (at least the good ones) do well here |
|
But in smaller towns, I'm sure it's more difficult.

It's the chains that struggle. People in Louisiana do NOT tolerate mediocre food very well. Idiot politicians (eg- Jindal, Vitter, etc...) are another story....
