In praise of Olive Garden and Hampton Inn; praise YOUR lowbrow favorites!

I love an Olive Garden salad.

And when the McRib comes out, I get one lol.

My favorite pair of lounge pants were purchased at Walmart.

I am craving a waffle with hash browns from Waffle House but don't live near any.

Popeye’s spicy chicken sandwich is perfection. We only get it every couple of months so I cherish the memory in between.

May I never be at a point in my life where I feel the need to "admit" to eating at places like Olive Garden or Popeyes.

Yawn.

Just say you like it and go lol. This whole "OMG I know it is sooooo bad and embarrassing, usually I am so much KlAsSiEr than this but I must admit to liking OMG *gasp* fast food twice a year!!!11!!1!" is...bleh.

Agree. These threads come up periodically and they are so cringey.

+1 we usually go to my ILs in Norfolk for Thanksgiving and have waffle House on Friday morning. We didn't go this year and I'm missing my Waffle House fix.

Yeah, I’m a lawyer and my court suits are from here. Not fancy or designer or anything, but “low brow”?

Chili's Awesome blossom--had not thought of those in years, but now I want one!

Their southwestern veggie wrap is delicious.

The quality is terrible, and there's no getting around that. It's a shame because in the 90s/early 2000s, it was reliable.

I had to eat at Cracker Barrel once for a work lunch. My *ss exploded less than two hours later. Never heard of Captain D's or Bojangles. Taco Bell never appealed to me and there's a Cantina one a block from my apartment. Stopped eating fast food after reading Fast Food Nation, but miss Roy Rogers - that stuff was good. I grew up in NYC so never ate chain pizza until I was in my early 20's and immediately hated it. I can get down with Red Lobster, but not Olive Garden.

There’s 2 NoVa Roy Rogers that I’m aware of- one on Rt. 1 by Belvoir and another by Kingstowne. They’re not all gone! It was one of my family’s go-to when I was a kid.

Yeah, but I won’t eat fast food anymore. Like, in the last 20 years, I’ve had In-n-Out twice and no other fast food. My kid wanted a Shamrock Shake, so I made one at home. I really care about the quality of ingredients and all that after reading that book.

This thread isn’t for you. Stop posting how superior you think you are.

Why? You sound like a serious snob. Relax a little.
