I'm being dragged to PF Changs in a couple of hours with some of my girl friends. Even though I offered PLENTY of names of quality restaurants that are ethnic and NOT chains, they insist on going to Changs.
Recommendations on what to eat?

The menu LOOKS ok, but the prices are high. I could feed a family of four at Vietname Kitchen for these prices!
I just have gotten so I hate chains. Down with the man!!!

The one chain in town that I really enjoy is Buca di Beppo. The prices are great for the amount of food you get, and its always fun with a big party of people.

Agreed! (biting tongue). I can say that when they had 12 venues (when I opened the one on Hurstbourne) the food was VERY different. Ahh, but the ever present need to drive sales at the expense of quality ruled the day and the soul went by the wayside! Publicly held equaled publicly dead....! I wonder if the mastermind of that juggernaut is out of jail yet?? (hint, same fool that drove Chi-Chi's into the ground....Joe?)annemarie m wrote:in my opinion bucca has gone done hill a bit. they have taken the best items off their menu. the recipes and quality is not what it used to be. they keep changing their menu. they are now owned by hard rock cafe. the only reason i go, is that they keep mailing me coupons for literally free food. when i go, i have them make me the original menu items, which they will do if they have all the ingredients on hand. they are accommodating.

Not sure what being closed for lunch has to do with the already derailed topic.... but okay? I know Marci and hired her as a wait assistant way back when....but that's another story and now she runs the place.....I can only wish her the best (to be fair, they were mis-managed from the top down and I am surprised they are still a functioning entity). For the record, I LOVED the concept, bought into it 100% and was one of the first people to be disenchanted when it went south...It is unfortunate that greed and foolishness has ruined yet another good idea...and i'll leave it at that.annemarie m wrote:david, just so you know bucca is now closed for lunch. this started about a month ago. when i asked the head manager marci why, she said, lunch time was very slow.
