At least the local Applebees here is pretty damned good. Much better than places like TGIF, Chili's and such.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-05-2005 10:35 PM                  quote: Brad Miller Much better than places like TGIF, Chili's and such. Please God forgive me for I have sinned: I once again agreed with Brad today. Yes! Those places blow!  |  IP: Logged John Hegel Expert Film Handler Posts: 166 From: Lake Mills, Iowa Registered: Sep 2000 posted 09-05-2005 11:00 PM                        It may be above and beyond, but it doesn’t cost that much more to do it right (equipment), and the food cost is about the same. Some other drive in questions I have: Do any of them make the pizza fresh or is it pretty common just to throw a frozen pizza in the oven? Soft serve ice cream... is it worth the extra effort? Do chicken strip baskets sell (thinking Dairy Queen style) If you already have the ovens and mixer for pizza would you also make the buns on site to lower food costs? Freshly made potato chips... Do they sell? Pricing: I'm going to have a Burger King right across the road from me, so what pricing strategy do I need to take to keep the food business on my side?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-06-2005 12:49 AM                        There is a hamburger place in Coeur d'Alene Idaho called "Hudson's Hamburgers," claiming to be the best hamburgers in the world. They have been in business selling nothing but hamburgers (and soft drinks) since 1907. So of course I had to go there during the Great States convention. The burgers were, as advertised, excellent. Nothing fancy, no stupid sauces or anything. Just meat on a super fresh bun. Pattied and cooked before your eyes -- nothing frozen. And the price was great -- $1.95. Anyone who thinks Applebee's steaks are good has obviously never been to Montana. My sympathies, guys. Get yourself to Billings and hit the Windmill Club, or the Granary, or Gusick's, or for the ultimate treat go to Ingomar and eat at the Jersey Lilly.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

At least that's how the one I got was.  |  IP: Logged Edwin Schwing Expert Film Handler Posts: 116 From: Las Vegas NV Registered: May 2002 posted 09-06-2005 02:09 AM                     Hey, do you ever wonder if there is a group of individuals that post their opinions about theatres on some Restaurant related forum, as we are posting ours about restaurants? Maybe they are wondering where the best presentation of any given movie is, while we are wondering where the best burger is? Just thought I would throw that out there... MY favorite (other than White Castle) is McDonalds! You can slam those things down (the regular lil tiny hamburger) 4 at a time, and, extra dried onion flecks please! E Oh, and Fudruckers? I always felt bloated and had the shits after I went there.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-06-2005 10:55 AM                        Daryl, we went to Outback Steakhouse. You should have told them to make your steak delicious. I did, and I sure got a delicious steak. I always do there.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't anything I can't get anywhere else around here.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-06-2005 09:09 PM                  I agree Daryl. That was some lousy food. I even ordered my steak MR and (as Joe suggested) told them to make it delicious...they didn't! YUK! You'd think that the state known for cattle/beef would be able to turn out a good steak... Come to think of it, most restaurant food in DFW SUCK! Too dry, too greasy, or just plain BLAH! Even the "TexMex" food is crappy.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-06-2005 09:57 PM                     My steak at the Outback was also delicious. Clearly the people working there know who the important people are that they need to please.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-06-2005 10:24 PM                  Hahahahahha... I knew I could count on you for a reply to my teaser post. I just thought it would have been really nasty and slammed me from the West to the East Coast, AND back! However, the food still sux!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-07-2005 12:22 AM                     Good lord yous guys.... the best steaks in the world come off my barbecue grill .

Then I'll let you install the processor of your choice in my screening room and tune it until your heart's content and we'll flip back and forth between the two during a movie as we compare a steak from the Outback to yours.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!
