You ain't kidding. This has always mystified me as well. When I'm in the midwest/southwest, I'm not looking for "The Outback", either. You'd be surprised, though.

Wow...just WOW. Is that code word for "Hey, there's lots of African Americans that go there?" ...wow...

Yes, we all know what she was saying without coming out of the bag. Typical LI trash.

Ouch...only on the Island but anyway...

I had the unfortunate experience of eating in one of these Lets just say the big "hook up" was more like the big throw up...

I often wondered where these place Like Red Lobster, Joe's crab house, Captain D's, Long John's Silver,McCormick & Schmick’s get there seafood from? To me it tastes like it comes from a farm or a fish bowl. No matter how bad they try to season this seafood it just can't mask the imitation taste of the fish.

I rather spend a few extra bucks and get something real, hand cut, properly prepared and came from an ocean. I can't stand these pre-cut, prepackaged, processed chains....disgusting

This is an example of what I'm talking about

Pescados Midlothian

Gimme a break, ok. I was making a point at what the poster was getting at. I was being very "PC" and probably could have used the words that the poster INTENDED to use but I, unlike them, did not go there.

And if you want to go off topic and turn this into a geography lesson, where do you think Carribbean descendents came from?
