HH, if you get a hankering for the best Italian food outside of Italy, you have it in Seattle. And guess what ...it's owned by a Chinese family. And that is why they named it "Perche No?" which is "Why Not?" in Italian. Anyone from Vegas visiting Seattle should go there. It is absolutely fantastic food, and the family makes you feel really welcome. The Chinese owner is funny, and speaks Italian like a native. Welcome to Perche No Pasta & Vino
THANKS, I'll give it a try.

Just my lame attempt at forum humor.
Either way, why not rake it in here or your pet causes, whatever they may be

I agree that a Vegas Chik-Fil-A would immediately be a MAJOR cash cow (cash chicken?). But I have never eaten in one. And I never will.
Well, I don't know him personally, so I have no idea.
I do know a friend of mine's two kids work there. One is 18 the other is 19 and they are treated very well. I meant his reputation as a "bible thumper" precedes him.
Disclaimer: I am a Christian, no harm intended by the descriptor.

I'm still waiting for Whataburger to come back. I'd like to see Lottaburger too. It's a New Mexico chain.

Probably those ones you mentioned are franchises that weren't managed very well, so they went away until the main corporation could find someone new to buy them.

Well said.
I also will never set foot in one nor will many people I associate with.
