Okay but like have you ever been in that situation where you genuinely can’t think of a place that doesn’t sound good so you say that then the person you’re with suggests fucking Long John Silvers.
I like the idea of Long John Silver’s, I’m just not a fan of the implementation.
Isn’t that kinda true for all fast food these days? If time travel existed I’d use it to try fast food back when it was supposed to be good to see if memory lives up to the hype.
I don’t think that even exists here (it probably does, but it’s a minor option) but that’s probably because literally everywhere around here does fish on Friday (year round and way better than fast food but also usually fairly cheap) and a lot of places do on Wednesday as well.
And during lent, fish is always available. Chain fish places do very poorly here, other than like crab, lobster, or sushi.
Idk where you’re from, but it may also be a legal/health thing. Long John Silver’s is notoriously unhealthy, even by American standards. Idk how much they’ve improved in the last few years though, if at all.
I live in Wisconsin, I’m like pretty sure it probably exists, since we don’t care about our health (3 of the 4 drunkest cities in the US are within an hour drive of where I live, and it’s also the dairy capital and so we aren’t a healthy bunch overall) it’s just not a typical option since we have high standards for deep fried fish specifically.
Almost every sit-down chain restaurant in my state closed down/failing because of quality issues or local competition. Chili’s, Red Lobster, Long John Silvers, Applebee’s…
It was HUGE local news during the pandemic with franchises begging people to “Support their local Chili’s” and everyone laughed. Then one really loud owner bought lots of local ads that we don’t deserve it and the locals dunk on them.
As of last month, another chain restaurant faded away, while more local restaurants popped up.
Nature is healing.
that then the person you’re with suggests fucking Long John Silvers.
Shit. I am that guy.
I say the worst possible ideas out of my head for laughs.
One time, I said PF Chang’s AS A JOKE. And everyone politely agreed and we went to PF Fucking Chang’s and it was the grossest Chinese food I ever ate. I FAFO myself.
