My favorite salmon dinner in this area is at LongHorn Steakhouse.
Hard to believe, isn't it?

Hope our Bone is not on the chopping block.
Agreed. It would REALLY Hurt if our Bone got chopped.

Did that at Publix too, and Winn-Dixie and even Walmart.


Chicken is more expensive than it used to be.


I like Carrabbas a lot, and Bonefish too and really like some chains.


I still love McDonalds. Harkens back to our Friday night outing with one car, groceries, and McDonalds with the kids. Happy memories and a well run chain. Our kids worked there during high school and they said they had to wash UNDER the tables when they pulled closing shift.
Hi GG: Producers have gotten so good at what they do that they can raise a chicken to production in a few months. Also 7 + pounds is common now and never was before, so they grow them faster and bigger.

Because they can grow them faster and bigger they are now replacing goat as the most consumed meat worldwide

It appears that economics once again prevails and an increase in demand follows with an increase in price. Perhaps the price will go down when ranchers replenish their livestock. I hope so

By the way the two women were the first to commercially raise chickens successfully and at great profits

I do think Bonefish is a bit over priced. There a few menu items that are unique but not many.

Are you the same person who reported that Trader Joe's is closing all its stores? Just wondering.

I also love Carrabas but last time we were there they cut the pasta weezie portion in half. It used to be loaded with mushrooms and my last visit it was a small bowl of pasta 6 medium shrimps and 3 tiny slices of mushrooms. I didn't complain but could tell by the portion sizes on all of our order that they had cut back considerably.

That's a bad sign.
