What's a popular restaurant chain that you've never visited?
Jan 3, 2022, 9:09 AM
|
|
One that is pretty common for everyone else, but you--for whatever reason--have never eaten at one?
Mine is Taco Bell. I've always thought it looks nasty, I've never much cared for anything remotely Mexican cuisine, and their marketing is pretty trash. Never even had it as a kid.
At this point, I think I'll take the streak to the grave.
What's yours and why?

Mexi dogs at Cookout are delicious. I very rarely eat fast food, but Cookout is an occasional guilty pleasure.

maybe been in one of their stores once or twice in my life, but when they had the place at that little East Campus store (next to Itza Pizza), I spent more Tiger Stripe money than I care to admit on their $0.95 burritos. College hungry is college hungry.

There was a period in the early 90's...
Jan 3, 2022, 9:37 AM
|
|
when me and BigDaddy got late night from there a minimum of 4 times per week.
1 taco, 1 meximelt, 1 bean burrito for $3 was the standard order if I remember correctly. That sheet was good! I think there was also some kind of sub place (Dinos maybe) there that I would get occasionally, but that was more of a $5 splurge.

Didn't really like the meximelts at the time (although I have come to like them) so my order was $2. Unless I splurged and added a chilito. Dammn I miss those things.

150 paces from the Taco Bell Express. I had Taco Bell around once a day for 2 years. It cured me of Taco Bell, which I can count the number of times I've had since 1994 on a hand.

close and cheap. Since I graduated, I have eaten their burgers once. Breakfast yes, but they did not have breakfast when I was at Clemson that I remember. 25 cent burgers fit my budget.

Old Taco Bell was pretty good stuff.
Jan 3, 2022, 9:19 AM

I'm talking years ago, like when I was a student in the early 90s and used to hit up the little stand at the East Campus store a few times a week. They have changed the recipes enough to squeeze every penny out of each product and changed the menu times several times for the worse that I don't eat it as much as I used to (even though I still do hit it up occasionally due to convenience).
To try to give an answer to your question, I can't say I've never been there but I have only been to Chipotle once. Once was enough. Pretty sure I've eaten at just about every chain restaurant there is (that is available to me in my area).

I can think of that I've never been - it's mostly because I'm not awake and functional in time to get there when I would consider it.

Red Lobster.
Lemme see....Western Sizzlin, Golden Corral, all the places Walmart/Dollar General shoppers go after a long day shopping.
Why? I dunno. Never heard someone mention how they had an awesome meal at any of them.

didn't have one in my home town, never saw the need to go as it looks pretty average.
Red Lobster - grew up on the coast, didn't know these existed until I got to college
Been to Cheddar's a couple times, only b/c it was the only place by the hotel we stayed at in Perry when I was working paper mill outages in college
Only time I went to Golden Corral was in high school - whole team went kind of deal on a long road trip. Horrible idea b/c we lost that game.
Never been to a Panda Express - dunno how common that one is.

No real reason just haven't.
Also I have gotten a coffee from Starbucks so I can't technically say I have never been there but I have only been a couple of times just to get a simple cup of black coffee. No mocha, latte, Frappuccino, Macchiato or Espresso.
