Chapter 2: What criteria were used to select sit-down chain restaurants?

39.078 - 61.571 Peter Schwartz

Because. When I said dine in, I threw the Embassy Diner in there at number one, but that's not a chain. That's a diner. It's a singular diner. I even gave you an example of a Chili's. I said sit down chain. Chili's is on the list. Okay. All right, so I have to quick on my feet replace Embassy Diner because I was going with the Mediterranean Panini and Embassy Diner was going to be number one.

61.591 - 74.644 Boomer Esiason

Oh, wow. Oh, wow. You know, I think what should come out of this now for you is some sort of social influencer, social media influencer. Yeah, you'd be great. Where you go to these restaurants and you talk about what you like and what you don't like.

0

74.924 - 90.518 Peter Schwartz

So are the other four chains? The other four are chains, and I just got to add number five at the bottom, which was the cutoff. So I had a backup anyway. Oh, you had a backup. Perfect. All right.

You have no idea. Number four. Yeah. Applebee's. Oh, okay. Applebee's. Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp. Okay, the bourbon treat, chicken and shrimp. When you get them, somebody else in the family will order something else on the twofer menu, and then you get the artichoke and spinach dip as the appetizer.

Chapter 3: Which sit-down chain restaurant is ranked number five?

149.526 - 151.673 Peter Schwartz

Regular fries with that? Yeah, regular fries. Okay, regular fries. Sometimes a baked potato, sometimes mashed potato, depending on mood. Interesting. On mood. Burger with mashed potatoes. If we go there for dinner, and I've already had french fries during the day for lunch, then I won't get the french fries again.

192.094 - 195.139 Boomer Esiason

Man, your arteries have got to be stiff. You love a chicken sandwich.

0

302.36 - 311.55 Peter Schwartz

Yes. You really do. Yeah. I mean, if I'm going to get a burger, unless it's, you know, obviously the Chili's, I mean, you just go to the fast food places and get a burger.

311.57 - 319.923 Giorgio

Yeah. But you get chicken sandwiches from fast food places, too. You just love a chicken sandwich. I like a good chicken sandwich. But you don't like them fried and breaded. You like the grilled chicken sandwiches.
