*sighs* Threads like this make me sad to be moving back to the States.
I'm going to miss living in a place where you walk into McDonalds, and they go out of their way to make you feel like the most important person in the world.
Can you tell me the location of that MacDonalds?
The Texas Roadhouse in Sherman, TX was pretty good. Good food, good service, etc. Personally, I'm coming to loathe ALL of these chain restaurants. There is little consistency between them and I honestly think that we, as a society, are merely becoming drones of the chain store market. Restaurants have lost their individuality. The one of a kind restaurants are almost dinosaurs in this day and age. Take Olive Garden, for example. Sure, they have decent food, but lines are inordinately long, the restaurants aren't SO GOOD that I'm willing to wait more than a few minutes, etc. Most of the chains are like that. Living in Denison, my choice of restaurants is pretty limited, but I've found a couple of jewels buried around the area. One is in Gainesville, a BBQ buffet (one of a kind and I suspect that it used to be an old Underwoods BBQ) Another is in Denison, called, "Las Brisas", a small mexican restaurant. It's probably the BEST Mexican place in the Texoma area. Finally, Huck's Catfish is AWESOME!! Service has always been good, the food is even better and prices are pretty reasonable. Finally, all I can say is, "SCREW those chain restaurants!!" I LIKE the individuality of the sole proprietorship restaurants.
