How about a real sports bar like BW3, lots of different beers, tons of screens and wings

I don’t think any fast food restaurant would work. Where would the drive thru be?

I think people who put down others because their taste in food is different are very unrealistic. The market will choose the winners. It has in the past and will again. I am sure we have among us people with refined taste, but most of them also like "ordinary" things and will whip up scrambled eggs for themselves on a busy day and find them yummy.

I very much dislike equating people who have been financially successful with those who know a good peanut butter sandwich from a bad one. Or only "DINE" at expensive places. Most successful people have been around and know their way but not all are going to spend a lot of money unless it's warranted. It is my experience that monied people are often frugal and careful. That is probably one of the reasons they got "monied".

My daddy always told me that usually the ones who claim to be "monied" have about half the money and class as the ones who don't talk about it.

If they were still around, I would love to have one of their restaurants. Anyone from the Midwest remember Bill Knapps?

I get the feeling that the new owners/management bunch at Bob Evans are going to take that chain down sooner, rather than later.

Me too.

On my Costco runs to Orlando...I always include a stop at one.

Let's face it... ANY restaurant could make it there very well. All they have to do is serve quality food at a reasonable price and treat the customer with the proper attitude. It's really not that hard!

Steak 'n Shake isn't even in the same class...as Red Robin.
