No wonder 90% of new restaurants fail in their first year when everyone, and not just people on this board, Americans in general only ever eat at chain restaurants.
Chain restaurants where you get fed the same old crap you can get anywhere else in the country. For few dollars more, or less in some cases, you can get some amazing meals at local restaurants, ran by local people, using local produce. I tried a couple of these chains when I first moved here, just to see what all the fuss was about and now I refuse to eat at another one ever again.
There are so many amazing local, unique, restaurants out there. We should make the most of them while they are still around and before the whole world becomes a McOutback or McOlive Garden.

Who has said they only eat at these restaurants and nowhere else? Bit presumptous isn't it?
Just because someone says they've gone to OG or Outback and like the food there, it doesn't mean that's the only place they will ever eat at ever again.
This is my favourite restaurant:Columbia Restaurant
but I guess as there are 6 locations it doesn't cut the mustard with you.

I love Outback, especially the 'outback steak special' and the salad with tangy tom sauce.
OG is great value for the family, the kids love the thick soup, and I love the salad, then my wife and I share the chicken parmesan its way to much for 1 person.
We also have some great local resturants, with equally good service so I don't have a problem were I get my fill.
Its a shame some people have a problem with OG and Outback but there the same ones that have a chip on their shoulder about everything.

I would never go to OG again as I found it overpriced and under taste, there are far better Italians.
You would be the expert of having a chip on a shoulder.

Isn't it strange that when people think of "restaurants" here they think of McDonalds, Wendy's etc.
But when we think of restaurants we are actually thinking of restaurants and not Burger King, Taco Bell etc.
Posh bunch we Brits !
