The Garbage Plate

A combination of either cheeseburger, hamburger, Italian sausages, steak, chicken, white or red hots, a grilled cheese sandwich, fried fish, or eggs, served on top of one or two of the following: home fries, fries, beans, and mac salad. The plate is adorned with optional mustard, onions or hot sauce.

The hot dog encased in french fries looks sorta tasty.  I do the same thing when I eat at Burger King... I can never finish all the fries, so I dump them in my Whopper.

OK, lets make this clear:

Other than glaze and pineapple on ham, sweet should not touch salty.

Bacon and chicken -- OK.  Bacon and maple syrup -- toss your cookies city.  The sandwich with powdered sugar is wrong.

You never had a Monte Cristo sandwhich?  Deepfried sandwhich with melted cheese, ham and turkey, served with fruit jam and powdered sugar.  It's a heart attack on a plate.  I usually indulge on my way back from a Georgia roadtrip, at a southern joint called Cheddars.

I love Monte Cristos but I always have them hold the powdered sugar.  If I wanted French Toast, I would order French Toast.

I had one in Bennigan's, Fort Worth and it was this big, battered, burned piece of crap that I sent back.  I had the manager personally come to me and tell me it was their best-selling item.

It was unbelievable to me.  I am used to Monte Cristos being like lightly egged French Toast stuffed with Chicken, cheese and ham.

But to his credit he told me I was good to have anything on the menu for the same cost as the Monte Cristo.  I chose a steak in the nearby price range.

Yeah, the food at Bennigan's is pretty lousy.  I remember everything there came from a bag, box, or can.

That doesn't explain it.  I don't do any of that stuff (well, on Saturday I get a "junk food lunch"), I exercise 1/2 hour a day and, since I quit smoking I have NOT been able to shed the pounds.

You spend your day behind a desk like I do?  I didn't start putting on weight until I got a desk job.  I exercise at least an hour a day.  Not sure if I've lost any weight, but I feel a little better.

I spend my day behind a keyboard.  The desk is usually irrelevant.

Pretty much explains why I'll never go there or Applebee's, depending on which part of the country holds my suitcase.

The Bennigan's I used to work at was boarded up and sold.  The Chili's next door was burned to the ground.

Good riddance.

To get rid of all the bad restaurants in downtown Fort Worth, they would have to burn down downtown Fort Worth.

So many restaurants, so awful quality.

One of the girls at work asked if there were any good restuarants here.  There aren't.  The Melting Pot is "interesting", but I wouldn't call it good food... it's more like a long series of appetizers.  Amerigo's has a few very good dishes, but they were placed into recievership because the owners are being sued for fraud.

I wouldn't neccessarily blame Demcorats.  The profit margin on selling food is about 5%... the money is in drink, liquor, and beer sales.  If your business model is based on a 5% return, quantity is preferable to quality.  All those places have the same beef, chicken, and pasta menus... I'm sure you've noticed. 

You still can't go wrong with a good ribeye, though.

Bennigan's served theirs with grape jelly and a side of fries.  I don't think I ever ate one. :p
