If YOU like it, that's all that matters though, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
Agreed on that point, although it WAS the funniest comparison I've read around here in quite some time!

I try to stay away from large chain places like applebees, olive garden, outback, etc and find I get much higher quality food at chef owned restaurants. Its a shame that most of america considers the olive garden to be good italian food and red lobster to be a good seafood restaurant 
I hate Olive Garden and Red Lobster is okay. For "chains", I prefer Carraba's and Joe's Crab Shack, far better atmosphere at both places than at the two you mention. And I've had far better seafood at non-chain restaurants as well.
I don't (or can't) believe that people think those two restaurants are "good", rather, that they're "decent portions for a reasonable price" restaurants. Red Lobster can't even do a homemade biscuit right, for cryin' out loud, but it still ends up reasonably tasty.
