opinion of (tgi) fridays

[angus]

I voted great.  I can only remember visiting two of them.  One was about 12 years ago in Honolulu, and as I recall I had something with mussels, shrimp, and clams.  I remember being satisfied with the food and the service.  One was about 7 years ago in Ohio.  I think I had some fried chicken and vegetables at that one.  It was also very good.  I haven't been to one recently, but both times I received a freshly-prepared hot meal in a timely fashion, and they both had a decent selection of booze.  What's not to like?

must be tiny at 500 calories

500 calories = tiny?!

That's about as perfect a statement as could be made, if your goal is to propagate Americans' stereotypes about themselves.  (read:  500 calories isn't particularly "tiny."  Dachau interns were expected to get by on 300 calories per day.  Okay, yes, those interns were expected to die.  That was part of the plan.  Fair enough.  Still, 500 calories = tiny?!)

FYI, it's probably mostly carbohydrate, so we can assume approximately 3.9 calories per gram.  Assuming a density of 0.7 g/ml, which seems like a fair assumption for this type of food, that dish would occupy a volume of about 183 ml, or a little more than six fluid ounces.  Hardly "tiny" even by American standards.  Stop propagating negative stereotypes.

Is it appetizing?  I'm really not sure.  I voted yes in that particular poll, because I think I could probably choke it down, and it doesn't look awful.  I'm not an expert.  I almost never order dessert, and when I do, I opt for an after dinner drink, like brandy, cognac, or calvados.  I don't have a sweet tooth, so I may not be the best one to ask, but it really doesn't look so bad.  

In any case, "tiny" it is not!

Had a chicken BLT. Turkish bread, American style bacon, plenty of delicious chips (fries) with a little tub of mayo to dip them in.

Hell yeah!  That's what I'm talking about.

People have even divorced over that.  You're a good man to put up with it.
