You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My favorite Italian chain is Bertucci's, though I think they are only a local chain (and known more for their very good pizza, but their pasta is also really good; I just almost never get it cause the pizza is so outstanding).

Oh yes, they're in Philly too. They had a rather tasty lemon chicken pizza, IIRC.

Wow, Laura, now I want to go to Ft. Lauderdale just to not eat there.

Lemon chicken pizza sounds great.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I once went to a Cheesecake Factory for an office lunch. It worked well for a group in which one person couldn't eat gluten, one insisted on a burger, one insisted on a salad, and so on.

Hey. New board.

Gris - try NAIS ? [link]

Thank you, Sox! That yielded a couple of promising openings that for which I wasted no time in applying. You rock!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

We're up to 60 phone calls and 30 e-mails. I might start taking bets on when this is going to stop...

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Ok, I bet tomorrow at 11:59 pm.

I once went to a Cheesecake Factory for an office lunch. It worked well for a group in which one person couldn't eat gluten, one insisted on a burger, one insisted on a salad, and so on.

I consider CF perfectly cromulent chain food, with lots of options, all done reasonably well. They are a little pricier than some, but the portions are also gianormous (too much so, in my opinion, but I don't mind taking leftovers).

Speaking of gianormous porions, I just thought of another decent Italian chain that's not local - Maggiano's. Love their tiarmasu and the chicken saltambocca.

d, bet noted. (Not sure what we're betting.) Although this has gone on for over a week before. That was an interesting week. I wanted to kill the two-hundredth applicant to say "I have lots of experience in a care home". With a spoon.

I sometimes have very little experience taking care of myself. Does that count? Good luck finding someone competent and kind.

I don't mind Cheesecake Factory. I like Carraba's for their sangria. Buca was nasty food. Haven't been to Olive Garden in forever. I am hungry for lunch now!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Though for Italian, I prefer the not-chain in the shopping center nearest to home.

It always fills me with glee when I find a good non-chain restaurant in a shopping center.
