The steak poll, Trump edition

[celedhring]

Leaving out stuff like KFC, Burger King, McD's, Domino's, etc... some American-themed chains we have:

- Foster's Hollywood: burger and grill place. Theme obvious from the name.
- TGB (The Good Burger): New York-themed burger place.
- Timesburg: same as above. Actually some great burgers.
- Cup & Cake: hipster themed (really) coffee shop.
- Barba Rossa Beach Bar: biker/americana burgers and ribs. Extremely tacky 
- The Good Bagel: NY themed bagel place. Not related to TGB. Closing down nowadays which sucks since I love bagels.
- Tommy Mel's: 1950s diner
- Peggy Sue's: same as above, but "softer" themed.
- Ribs: Texan (as in cowboys and shit) BBQ place.
- Surf House: Cali/surfer theme, burgers, salads and cocktails.

Note that Barcelona is the hipster capital of Spain, so our tastes then to gravitate towards that area. Hipster/Brooklyn looking coffee places are dime a dozen.

They don't eat ribs in Texas! They eat brisket!

I eat ribs.

Can't think of any steak house chains part from the Aberdeen Angus ones which only tourists eat at.

There are a few high end mini-chains (with maybe 10 outlets or so).

The big trend at the top places is for steak from old (8 year plus) dairy cows, mainly from Spain especially Galicia. Not tried it myself but looking forward to doing so.

Out of those we only have Foster's, Tommy Mel's and Peggy Sue in my neck of the woods.

A lot of those might be regional chains. The hipster coffee shop/restaurant is Barcelona's latest malaise. Cup & Cake's waiters are particularly hilarious

I like the way the guy on the left is looking at the waiter.

They look like hipsters? What's the funny bit?

[celedhring]

It's a coffee shop chain with a hipster theme. I find it hilarious but YMMV.

Vienna has its share of hipster places, but the only one I endorse is Gorilla Kitchen and its burritos: http://www.gorillakitchen.at/?lang=en

I'm sure it's a great place, but the gorilla's ass in their signage would make me want to eat somewhere else.
