I don't think I've been to a TGI Fridays in at least 20 years at this point. I don't go to places like that at all anymore and didn't realize they even still existed. I wonder if "underperforming locations" is the usual coded language for crime/niggers.

From the post:

>TGI Fridays has closed more than a dozen locations in the past month, including six just this week. The popular casual dining chain is the latest to struggle as Americans, frustrated with higher menu costs, opt to eat at home more. Other chains, including Red Lobster, Applebee’s and Hooters, have also closed locations. Signs posted at TGI's shuttered locations - focused in the East Coast, Southeast, and Midwest - described the decision as 'difficult' and directed customers to nearby restaurants.

It's probably been a good 20 years for me as well. Just no reason to go to a reheat restaurant when there's lots of other options.

Cook at home. I like to sous vide some steak and finish it in the pan with butter. It takes very little prep time and the outcome is awesome.

Someone posted a sous vide asparagus recipe on here that we tweaked a little and its a regular thing in our house now.

We also have a amazing local butcher and the cost and quality is far better than any local store so we buy from them as often as possible.

I don't eat out much except when I have a guest. The rest of the time I just make stuff. It's cheaper.

I haven't been to a TGIF since 2006. Damn fucking shame too. Their Jack Daniels menu was the fucking shit. Used to be my first date spot. Even if the girl was shit, as least I knew I'd be getting a good meal. Damn shame.

I kinda forgot all about TGI Fridays. I can't remember the last time I set foot in one. I just looked it up and there's still a few around me, not that I would go. Anyhow.

I don't think "underperforming locations" is necessarily coded language for crime & niggers. There used to be one near me that closed down several years ago and it was in a much Whiter part of town. I think it's more a sign of the times that these style of restaurants simply no longer appeal to most casual diners.
