I find most chain restaurants to be bland. It's the mom and pop restaurants that help give cities their own identities. Here in Lansing, MI, chains have taken over and I hate it. I am asking people to boycott places like Applebee's, Outback, Bennigan's. Just because a place is advertised on TV doesn't mean they have good food. I'm not counting fast food--that's just something you do for a quick lunch. I'm talking about sit-down restaurants--places where you'd go if you were out for the evening.
