[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand what is wrong with chain restaurants and coffee shops. They have all grown to be chains because what they offered was good.[/quote]

It’s a lot of the same food - Chili’s is not that different than Applebee’s. But neither has Thai food or (as I ordered tonight from my city home) Pho. If you want fine dining or a menu that doesn’t have a chicken finger option you can’t go to a chain.[/quote]

Good grief.  The best Pho you can get (delivered or pick it up yourself) is in the suburbs of DC.  Some of you are insufferable.[/quote]

I didn't say you can't get Pho in the suburbs. I was responding to someone who asked why people are always knocking on chain restaurants. I think the knock is that they are very similar, not that they are bad, but if you want something different you don't go to a chain. [/quote]

DP chiming in here ...I'm the PP who is happy, for many reasons, with her move from Lakeview to the Northshore suburbs.  And, yes, we have found a handful of decent (and a few really good) restaurants out here.  But, come on, the restaurant scene in Chicago (at all different price points and for all different cuisines) is on a stratospherically better level.  I certainly miss it!  You are just not going to win this argument ...[/quote]
