best restaurant chains

[quantumleap]

Bennigans.
Steak and Ale.

hno:

All kidding aside.

Smith and Wollensky

I was going to post S&W as well along with Fleming's.

For fast food I like Baja Fresh and Rubio's. They use only fresh ingredients.

It's hard to beat the hole-in-the-wall taquerias for Mexican food. They use real Mexican spices and don't load your food down with lard.

The last time I was in NY, my wife and I ate at Sparks. They have the best sirloin steak I have ever had. Luckily, nobody got whacked that night.

Food In Detroit sucks. Always seem to eat better when out of town.

The Palm chain is way up there.

I like Chilis also.

I had the baby back ribs last week and they very good.

I happened to be in Sioux City in April and went for drinks a couple times at that Chili's. My dad grew up there and wanted to give me the tour now that he's getting older. We also ate the the Milwaukee Weiner House - he said only the prices have changed since the 1940s LOL.

Nice guys running the poker room at Argosy's but damn is that place smoky. We flew out of Omaha and really enjoyed the Horseshoe - very nice casino and a great poker room.

Very solid list. Never ate at Flemings or The Palm, but by the rest of your list I will include these.
