[HPFGU-OTChatter] Bad food in America

[Denise R]

For me, the worst food I ever ate was in two restaurants.

The first, in the 80's was TGI-Fridays.  The food was hideous.  I was 18,
and even the water (made the mistake of ordering Pierre (sp) water) was bad!
Just for the record, they've fixed the menu.  Mom takes us there at least
every 3 mos or so, and I like the food now.  It was when Friday's first
opened in the area (the first year of their life, so to speak) that I
disliked them!).

The second restaurant I worked at.  The food wasn't bad, but the kitchen
itself was.  Once I watched HOW the food was made, I couldn't eat there.
The cockroaches inches from the mayo-bin (open) was enough to throw me off.
The place was demolished in a "food-court" restructuring, and now has a
different location.  I have eaten in the new one, and it seemed better.
Brown Derby was the old name, Roadhouse was the new one.

I still can't look a roach in the eye, though.  Urghhh.
