dunno, but for sure i'd not eat there again...
i don't like those type of places because their
sauces all taste about the same and are often too
much sugar/salt and not actually anything i'd
call real flavors or interesting.
for me there are places we avoid because they put
spices on their food we can't tolerate (Mom gets
blisters from black/white/green pepper corns) but
for myself Starbucks coffee and Hardee's burgers.
in both cases i gave them two tries and each time
they made me sick so i've never gone back.
dunno what it was in their products that hated
me.
by contrast i've been to our favorite chinese
place several hundred or a few thousand times over
the years and i've rarely had problems with their
food (i don't really eat chicken that often any
more due to problems from eating it in the past
but i will sometimes have their sweet and sour
chicken without it bothering me).
generally i don't eat out that often at all -
like less than once a month on average unless i'm
on the road - which i've not been the past whiles...
in the end we cook pretty well here and so often
we get such better results for the $ that it makes
little sense for us to eat out.
sadly, my last batch of beans i made two kinds
and by the time i got to the second batch it started
to ferment so i fertilized the lilac tree with those.
i just hope the ones i put in the freezer will be ok.
