KFC chooses to use PFK. The law does not force them to. Canadian Tire Home Depot Best Biy etc did not change their names.

Way to show leadership, Jambo

There are no Red Lobsters in Massachusetts, either. Given Boston's propensity for great seafood, I guess they can't compete.

I would rather have a Legal Sea Foods over a Red Lobster TBQH!

I would rather have any of the hundreds of indie non-chain seafood restaurants in Massachusetts. There's one in particular, in Boston's Little Italy, that makes me swoon every time I eat there. And if they could open in Montreal by June 2, that would be fabulous -- I'm coming home to have lunch with a friend.

Well we’ve got some very good seafood restaurants like Chez Boss et fils and many others, but we were talking about restaurant chains. Not in the same category, really...

What would be an equivalent to Red Lobster in Montreal,
Legal Seafood would fit the bill but i dont think theres an outlet in Montreal.
Rib n Reef might be worth a look but their menu looks really expensive.
