I like to see efforts made to compete, sit-down chains can get stale. -- nm

On the other hand, I quit going there ages ago as they did away with anything even close to fettuccine. - Spawn May 16, 11:10 28
- When I want authentic Italian pasta, I certainly head to Applebees :) -- nm - ty97 May 16, 11:14 19
  - No, it is when Amy and Logan want to go to the closest sit-down restaurant to our house and I need to find something to eat on that menu. - Spawn May 16, 11:25
  - this is why Spawn is not allowed in food conversations. -- nm - groiny May 16, 11:14 17
    - I mean, doesn't Indiana at least have Macaroni Grill?! -- nm - ty97 May 16, 11:16 16
      - They have Buca di Beppo which is a pretty tasty chain if you ask me. -- nm - Diva May 16, 11:17 13
        
        *LOVE* their apple gorgonzola salad. -- nm - Strongbad May 16, 11:35
        
        A great place to go if you are down with it taking 90 minutes. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 11:30 4
        
        wow - I haven't been to Indy in a long time, but that was not my experience there. -- nm - Diva May 16, 11:43
        
        that is what appetizers are for. -- nm - groiny May 16, 11:31 2
        
        I meant it more that any time I take the family out to eat for dinner, time is an issue as Logan has a bedtime. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 11:42 1
        
        tell lil man to fucking suck it up. -- nm - groiny May 16, 11:43
        
        I've never been. Not even sure I've heard of it. *searches* Broadway & 45th, not far! -- nm - ty97 May 16, 11:20 4

        fwiw, their dinner portions are huge -- nm - budice May 16, 11:24
        
        oh, yeah, and bring a friend or two. -- nm - groiny May 16, 11:22
        
        if you like garlic and olive oil, it is the bomb. - groiny May 16, 11:22
        
        Word. -- nm - budice May 16, 11:17

      - Indiana still has Hardees and Stuckeys -- nm - budice May 16, 11:16 1
        
        jeebus - Pippy May 16, 11:17
- this is my gripe too - as soon as I love something on the menu - its gone and replaced with something inferior -- nm - Pippy May 16, 11:13 4
  - I find this to be true at most casual chains (Chili's I'm making an annoyed face at you!) -- nm - ty97 May 16, 11:14 3
    - They will never get rid of their greatest achievement. - Spawn May 16, 11:26 2
      - which is funny, because they are not close to crispy -- nm - groiny May 16, 11:28 1
        
        IIRC you now have that option, but I stay with original. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 11:32
- Do you mean alfredo? -- nm - Shaun May 16, 11:11 2
  - Both work in this case, but yes, I mean fettuccine alfredo. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 11:27 1
    - We would probably induce a food coma in you if you had our homemade alfredo. -- (edited) - Shaun May 16, 11:30
