Why we don't review chains

As you've noticed we try to stick to local joints, places that we can chill at and not stress what is going down around us. We're pretty easy going kind of fatties. We eat at chains, we eat our fast food, normal things. We like Chile's and Applebeas, we don't mind some pancakes from IHOP.
When I'm in Arizona, I hit up Whataburger. We're not snobbish fatties. Now personally I don't see the point in reviewing a place everyone in the country can easily go to, or large parts of the country for that matter. But I do see a point in reviewing smaller places, or places not many people know about, all around the places that I happen to be.

As me and Rabbit are moving here soon, that will be another part of town, and it will lead to a whole new world of experiences.

To ramble around, today we hit Denny's for a quick sandwich. There are other places we could go for this, there was a Jersey Mikes right there, for example, but I like burgers and Ms. Rabbit likes patty melts. There was a lot wrong with our choice. Did you know Denny's is now expensive? It was, with an appetizer, $16 a person! I got a burger, seasoned fries, and an ice tea. Rabbit got her patty melt, seasoned fries, a coke, and we shared some cheese sticks. Now to me, this should be, at a chain like Denny's, maybe $25 total.. Nope, our drinks were freaking $2.30 each. Our food was crap. I would rather goto a place like Grind Burger, that we reviewed, and get a great burger for the same freaking price.

So yeah, we have become a bit snobbish. We'll spend the money for good food and service. But when the food sucks, and the service is only tolerable, it reminds us of why we don't review chains.

Because they are there for a convenience, but over all, kind of suck.
