Chili's

 america has a restaurant called chili's. In fact I had one of the very best steaks of my entire life at Chili's. It was well done. It was juicy. It was tender and there was no gristle in it. Sounds pretty good. Well unfortunately they started up a program for a $10 special. And they actually put it on their regular menu. You get an appetizer an entree and a soda or iced tea for $10. Now it's still probably an okay deal but here's the problem. If you order the dinner salad as the appetizer it's small. The chips and salsa are definitely a good deal, but at one Chili's some of the chips have gotten wet for some reason. That really doesn't make tortilla chips very appealing. Soggy tortilla chips. I complained about it but the waitress didn't seem very surprised. The real problem is the entree. I've been ordering the Margarita chicken for years. It's usually a decent-sized chicken breast on top of rice I think there's some beans on there. And some tiny little tortilla strips which are nice. Well they've gotten cheap on this they somehow slice the chicken very thin and then seem to either pound it or do something to tenderize it. Anyway it still tastes okay but it just looks weird. And you can tell it's not a normal chicken breast it's been messed with. If you think about it in today's world if you go to any fast food burger place and you order their big burger has a meal it's somewhere around 9 bucks. So the idea that Chili's is going to be able put on a meal like that is almost unrealistic. Fast food places hand you a paper bag and say thank you. Chili's has a wonderful restaurant with wonderful booths and tables and happy waitresses waiting to serve you. The whole business model is more expensive. So as sad as it is they need to raise the price a little bit and go back to their standard quality. this is coming from one of the cheapest guys on this planet. The thing about me is quality is important also.
