Applebee's VS. Chili's

[Josh66]

If were talking sit down restaurants. I say... Kanki. i like how im just proposing random places...

Never heard of that place, but I would try it for that reason alone.

 

[Haya.H]

its japaneese. okay so since your talking about sport bars. The Ale house. You gotta have that in texas.

honey chipotle chicken crispers! That is all folks.

I figured it was Japanese based on the name, I don't think I've ever seen one though. I took Japanese in high school (not around here), and we went out to eat a lot, lol (that year was the most fun, all we did was eat, cook, and watch movies, lol). There was this one place that we went to a lot ... I can't remember what it was called (in Columbus, Ohio). Pretty good, very traditional.

The Ale House sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't think we have that here. Steak & Ale is probably the closest that I know of.

There's lots of places to eat here, if I want to drive to Rockwall or Dallas, but Greenville doesn't have a whole lot.

I took two years of spanish and pretty much forgot 90% of it -.- & yeah the Ale House is pretty much a steak house. i go for the jalapeno cheese dippers. mmm heavenly. Well that would suck to have to drive if you wanna go out to eat! but then again a "road trip" is always fun.

I just have to say... the past two nights ive been getting bit by a freakin mosquito (the same one!!!!). Tonight i have finally killed it, aside of the blood stain on my wall; I am filled with joy right now.

Yeah, I can barely speak Japanese now, but I can still read and write it pretty good. I encounter a lot more opportunities to read it than speak it... It's easy to forget when you never use it.

Spanish would be much more useful here...

 

[Haya.H]

lol yeah i bet! i can understand a lot of what people say to me in spanish. I can get my point across in espanol but the sentence would probably be butchured. Atleast you can still read and write thats impressive for someone who doesnt it use it much.

It's actually not that hard of a language to learn, compared to English. I think it probably has more 'rules', but once you learn those, it's not bad. I learned to read and write Japanese pretty quickly. At least with Japanese, everything is always pronounced exactly how it's written, and once you hear a word, you know exactly how to write it. It doesn't have the situation in English where there are three different ways to spell the same sound, each having a different meaning.

You can also say the same thing using far less words in Japanese... Some things are just implied, and don't have to be spoken. Then again, there are some things that they don't have a word for, so you use the English (or French, or whichever culture they learned the word from first) word. English is the same though... We use a lot of words from other languages... French, German, Arabic, etc...

I was at Applebee's earlier today in Grand Prairie(suburb of Dallas). I prefer AB, because they have a better happy hour imo.....

I prefer Oprah Bees myself.

 

[Josh66]

LOL!

Give me a rack of lamb medium rare, with garlic mashed potatoes and a side of asparagus; along with some brews at Pomadoro's any day.

Fifteen years ago, I used to love Applebee's Riblet platter (Tampa Florida), but the menu and quality seems to have change immensely! Last couple of times I ate at one (Gillette Wyoming), I got sick... so no more Applebees (plus now the riblets are less meat, more bone).

We hit Chili's maybe twice a year... we just don't like generic chain style food, with no personality. And we don't do Sports Bars either, lol!

Sounds like you have limited choices... find one or two dishes you like at each restaurant and just change it up every now and them.

That's not fair Gibson. You ate in Gillette, after all.


(why is Casper so windy? because Cheyenne sucks and Gillette blows)

Yea.. being in the Armpit of Wyoming probably had something to do with it! lol! I had very few decent meals there (used to go there a lot for business... a week every month for over four years)... best restaurant there was the Chophouse, but it was a little spendy!
