In another thread, a discussion popped up regarding chain restaurants vs. independently owned establishments. Specifically, Perkins and Denny's took some shots, but as we all know there are far more "chain" restaurants out there. I don't want to rehash the pissing match here, but I would like to expand on the discussion a bit.
You can't miss TV Shows that focus on food these days. Whether they be shows like Man V. Food, or how to shows, or shows that feature restaurants like Diners, Drive-in's and Dives. Fun places with good food are all the rage, but saving a buck is also a good thing. And since it's been awhile since we have had a restaurant post where we talked about likes, dislikes, etc., so let's have at it. What do you value in a restaurant of your choosing? Is it price? Cleanliness? Staff? Or is it something else entirely? What do you prefer - frequenting mom and pop joints, or chains?
