The steak poll, Trump edition

Not a fan of steak.

If I'm going to eat beef I prefer a burger, but really in general I'm more of a poultry fan.

Tim likes cock.

Makes me miss Rufweed.

You could unban Marty for the next best thing.

   Unlike Marti, Rufweed is most decidedly not self-loathing about his non-traditional maleness.

I can understand an Aussie theme if that is where they are sourcing their beef.  But why would a US restaurant do that?  I suppose an Australian theme seems exotic or at least more exotic than Texas?

Pretty much.  There's no shortage of Texas-themed steakhouse chains.

Late, but this.  For illustration, in the closest shopping hub "city" to me, there are a Chili's and a Longhorn Steakhouse next door to each other, with a Texas Roadhouse across the street, and until it closed, a Bob Evans next door to that.  Even the lowest common denominator of (non fast-food) "American" cuisine, Denny's, tries to cash in on the "southern/southwestern steakhouse" thing.

You know, coming back to this thread, it occurred to me there are several Canadian restaurant chains that, to one degree or another, all trade on a theme of being from somewhere else, even though in truth they are 100% Canadian.

Boston Pizza - doesn't have anything Boston-related in it's interior or menu, but the name itself - it has zero ties to the city of Boston (started out in Edmonton in fact).

Swiss Chalet - they serve rotisserie chicken meals.  There's nothing "Swiss" about it though, other than a vaguely chalet-inspired decor.

Eat Side Mario's - It's Italian-American food, with heavy, heavy New York City-inspired decor.  There logo used to be the Statue of Liberty holding a tomato.

Montana's Cookhouse - decor isn't specifically "Montana", but very heavy on exposed log construction, dead animals on the wall.

New York Fries - a staple of Canadian mall food courts.  Not really any "decor", but advertisements used to have a strong NYC taxi-cab theme to them

There are also chains that serve asian food, like Thai Express, Edo Japan, Panda Express, Mandarin.

Boston Pizza isn't even a pizza place!

[Habbaku]

Swiss Chalet was terrible.

Pizza is on the menu.

Swiss Chalet was terrible.

It's barely a step up from fast food.  It's cheap, and you get what you pay for.

[Berkut]

I've had much, MUCH better fast food.

Pizza is on the menu.

It's on the menu at Olive Garden too.

I liked Swiss Chalet. It's just Boston Market with annoying Canadians.
