I wouldn't say that I love any chain restaurants, but I certainly appreciate a dependable, clean and accomodating chain restaurant.
Some that come to mind are Lone Star Grill, Swiss Chalet, Cracker Barrel, Keg, Mandarin, and Firken pubs.
The university I went to had a Hospitality and Tourism program that took over our Dorm cafeteria as a restuarant. One day the sign "Maggies Place" went up, along with some plastic foliage. The servers gained colourful neckties, and upped their Happiness quotient by a factor of 10. The food? It was the same array of Club sandwiches and chicken fingers. On Taco day the sour cream was watered down.
Every time I end up in a disappointing family restaurant that skimps on the food quality in favour of pre-packaged atmosphere, I blame it on the graduates.
I wonder if anyone ever ate at Planet Hollywood more than once.
