Favorite Chain Restaurant

These are what I love. I like to say they're disgustingly delicious (truly both). Regardless, they're the only thing I ever order there. Fortunately, I go to Jack in the Box very infrequently (maybe once or twice a year) because I purposely try to stay away. Otherwise, I'd be eating those value-menu tacos all the time.

I don't go anywhere else too much, either. The more I eat out, lately, the more I realize I usually don't enjoy the food, and end up thinking, "Well, that was kind of a waste of however-many bucks. I should've just eaten at home."

About the only place that still appeals to me with any regularity -- say, once or twice a month -- is Panda Express. Oh, and, once in a great while, I can go for Romano's Macaroni Grill. They have a great, inexpensive lunch menu.

 

I loves me some sliders. For a couple of years, I could get them in DFW at Krystal. Then they went tits up, and I dunno why. There are 3 left east of Fort Worth.

The closest White Castle to me is in Farmington, Missouri.

 

I know whose wedding that is. Good dude.

 

Far and away best bagel I’ve had outside of NY and NJ. Service is also typically friendly and all in all relatively efficient given the long lines. And it says something that even the one on The Corner is packed with college students early Saturday and Sunday morning, notwithstanding their hangovers. (Although it is a pretty good hangover food, as I was reminded during my last trip to CVille...)

 

Like all of the great Italian places that used to be in Chambersburg and Trenton, they've moved to the suburbs.
DeLorenzo's has two locations - Robbinsville and Hamilton. The one in Hamilton has a sign in the style of the old Hamilton Ave. location that used to be by Trenton High.

Papa's is now out in Robbinsville as well.

Don't know if Vino Brothers is now simply called Brothers and is located in Hamilton Square or if it just closed shop.

 

The couple of times I ate at DeLorenzo's I thought it was over-rated. Then I prefer pizza to tomato pie.
Trying to remember where Nino's was located.
There are too many Italian places named Dominic's - don't know if you mean the one in Lawrence or if there was one in the 'Burg.

 

Except for the five dudes I've blown, I will not suck a man's cock.

 

Here's the last pizza ever served at DeLorenzo's on Hudson Street. I live-streamed 3-4 hours the night they closed forever. Had a good time. Too bad they left. A real relic of a pizza joint.

 

When did you stop beating your wife?

Yeah I get it. I started off thinking there weren't many times I go to chains anymore largely because I mostly go when I'm with my in-laws but the list ended up being bigger than I first thought. I still hit up local places more often because my family (who live near me) aren't fans of chain places like Chilis, much to my wife's chagrin.

 

Just bustin' yer chops...

 

Nice touch that they served it to a hobo.

 

I think there's a few Nino's Pizzeramas. The one nearest me was what was essentially a trailer at the corner of Gennessee and Chambers, just off of Broad Street near the Rusling fire station. We lived a couple of blocks from there.
I remember stopping in after school a few times, 2:30 or 3 in the afternoon, being the only customer in there and the cook/owner would be talking with an old guy in Italian about God only knows what. I just assumed it was mob business and was thankful I didn't speak Italian so I couldn't be a witness.

And, yeah, trying to ID an Italian place named Dominic's is like looking through the phone book for a guy you only know his last name is Smith. This one was on South Broad Street, not far from the Nino's I was talking about.
It was next to a little Korean bodega that was on the corner of Broad and Harrison.
Both of these places are technically in Hamilton, BTW. I just identify it all as Trenton since Hamilton might be one of the largest non-cities you'll ever find and anyone who hasn't lived there would have no clue where it is.
