Ok so...Are all the half ass restaurants closing?

NEW YORK (July 29) - Restaurant chains Bennigan's and Steak & Ale have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection and stores owned by its parent company will shut their doors.

First Lonestar, Then Red Lobster, Then Long Horn, Durango's, Hops, and Steak and Ale...Now Bennigans. What will we all do on St. Patricks Day??

We still have our Red Lobster and a Longhorns just opened in the last 6 months near my office....we prefer the local non chain places here anyway...good bye Monte Cristo!; Wednesday, 30 July, 2008

Oh, and speaking of the Monte Cristo, you do NOT want to know the nutritional info on that puppy. Just trust me. Every time someone ordered it I wanted to scream, "Have sympathy on your arteries for the love of god!"; Wednesday, 30 July, 2008
