	I love chain restaurants, but Seattle has such delicious foodery that I forget that I love chain restaurants. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Holy crap, what a bunch of elitist prickery. It reminds me of the time I bemoaned the fact that there are no Red Lobster in Vancouver and got my head ripped off for it. "OMG VANCOUVER HAS GREAT SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS!" Yes, and I go to many of them. Still doesn't satisfy my specific wish for Red Lobster. :(

They... do realize that just because a city has excellent local restaurants doesn't mean it can't have chain restaurants as well, and vice versa... right? And that people can like and enjoy both? I mean, I'm the type that has lunch at little locally owned places then washes it down with a McDonald's shake... am I doing it wrong?

I love how everybody is all "CHAINS ARE HORRIBLE except for these three that I really like, of course."

It's like the other night when we were going to order pizza and my father insisted that it be "good pizza", which is fine, but then sneered because I picked a chain because none of the local places that deliver to our house are actually any good. And then he complained about the price, because hey guess what, nice pizza with lots of toppings cost more than Domino's! (I was all for Domino's because you can get two medium pizzas for six dollars each right now, but it is rather inferior pizza.)

Dissent! I was with the "god, snobs much" idea, until this:

Actually no, I was being honest. I sincerely wish we had all of the above, and if some people would choose not to eat there, it would be their prerogative, but would at least give the rest of us a chance to do so if we so wished, without having to drive 15 minutes to Lynnwood, or 40 minuts south to Tacoma.

That's just fucking LAZY. That and the whole "omg, why must it be so GREEN here complaint" on the personal blog. Yeah.

Y'know. I'm all for supporting local food. Hell, once I finally tried Buz and Ned's, I was a convert. But, in my experience, local food can be pricey. While I'd love to support those businesses, if I can't afford them, I have to settle for a chain or just eating at home with whatever was cheapest at the store.

And sometimes, I just have a craving for a TGI's Mojito and Potstickers. There isn't a single local place I've found (in Richmond, so flawed comparison) that makes mojitos. Or dim sum, but that's another wank for another day.

Lynnwood is crap. I lived there for a year, and I despise going there. Same with Everett. They're both crap, so I wish Seattle had all the good stuff that it doesn't, so I wouldn't have to go to the crappy 'burbs for it.
