It's crazy how much more actual cooking was done. In the 80s KFC used to get entire chickens and they'd split them up at the store.
Olive Garden is the best chain because their menu is optimized to be low work while being the right mix of premade and cooked on site. It's actually a genius system they have imo

Olive Garden
That's not what I heard from a co-worker when I was a wagie. he said it was majority microwaved.

Weird. Maybe it's regional? I have literally been in their kitchen this week and watched them make sauces and soups. They had fryers, skillets, griddles, broilers and only 2 microwaves
Their stuffed pastas are all frozen and their chicken is prefried frozen, just gets dumped in a fryer after

My parents used to take us to chilis for a special occasions and it legit felt like the peak of dining. I don't know if my taste got better of chilis got worse but darn those fajitas were a treat.
Cheesecake Factory is actually surprisingly good. I went there for the first time a couple months ago and got the tuscan chicken and was really pleasantly surprised, especially given the size of the menu. The cheesecake is pretty good, too.
Only problem is that it seems to draw black people like moths to a flame. No clue why, but it was amusing seeing four separate groups freak out when they were told it would be a 40 minute wait because they were too r-slurred to make a reservation, while the white groups who had made reservations were seated immediately.
The problem is that if you live in a city you have better options with comparable pricing, and if you live in a rural area you have local options with lower pricing or nothing at all. These restaurants really call to the suburban crowd whose only real option are chains.
Also Olive Garden fricking rules and only joyless hipsters think otherwise. Reasonably priced wine, generous portion sizes and nothing is edgy or fusion or thought up by some tattooed recidivist who jerks off to Bourdain
Olive garden is fine if you get the big entrees stuff like soups and sides are microwaved lol its also very overpriced if you have other pasta places in the area.

I absolutely do not understand why you would go to a pasta place that doesn't make the pasta in house. Italian food is great but it is way easier and lower effort than other national cuisine. If the restaurant isn't even going to put in the effort to do the one time consuming part of the food, why should I pay them a premium?
From a food thread on chud website that I then googled. It also makes sense because I get terrible abdominal cramps every time I eat there. My soy body can't handle it and immediately rejects it.
That's why McDonald's fries used to be so good. But then vegetarians complained that they couldn't eat them. Now they're probably cooked in seed oils and taste like shit.
The worst restaurant experience I ever had was from a waitress at a BWW in Cleveland.
She didn't take our drink order for 20 minutes, took another 20 to get our beers and then didn't come back for food.
The person who grabbed our groups bill said she changed her tip to $20 or something too - absolutely insane
