Hooters owner files for bankruptcy ( 'just standard stuff')

10. The funny thing is we did go to a chain restaurant last night - driving nearly 30 miles to do that.

My wife wanted to go to Buca di Beppo - a family style Italian chain restaurant. It was way overpriced, and the food wasn't very good - I ordered fettuccine Alfredo and they gave me a huge bowl full of noodles and a dubious cream they called "Alfredo" - it was terrible.

Previously, Buca had 3 restaurant located here in Colorado, but it's down to just one.

Now the wife wants to go back in New York (they just opened up a location in Manhattan) with her brother and eat there again.

I mean, come on, there's tons of _REAL_ family style Italian restaurant in New York, just have to pick the right one.

We're still looking for a real good Italian restaurant that serves decent eggplant parmigiana (wife's favorite) around here in Denver.

We used to go to Nonna's but the food quality went downhill pretty fast (and it was local too)
