We patronize a scant few chain restaurants.
We would rather patronize small business.They have more to lose than the big chains...obviously...

I'd right the head office. You've got a lot to share with them. Problem is, they'd probably give you free food, so you're back to eating rubber bands.

I agree with Dave, I love the local eateries. We have a Mexican restaurant locally that I'd eat at for every one of our night's out. We eat at home 6-7 nights a week, so eating out is cherished and I don't want to spend it on mediocre grub. If it weren't for kids soccer practice on Tuesday evenings (Zaxby's with free kids meals), I'd be at home most of the time. I like to cook.

I've never been to an Olive Garden, my wife calls it "Fauxtalian". In the Boston area there are a million fantastic, authentic Italian restaurants.

No kidding, every town has some decent Italian restaurant in MA. Never been to an Olive Garden either and no rush to go now...
