That said when my wife was finishing up her PhD we'd gently caress up some late night appetizers at Applebee's once in a blue moon. We aren't too good for it.

Where we live is flanked by two other suburbs that are effectively the same drive time away from us. One has a BWW and Chipotle, the other has an amazing local wing place and a very good local burrito place. Beyond familiarity, there is absolutely no excuse for going to the BWW/Chipotle area, but I will still do it multiple times a year.

Chains are the worst. I agree with you, and that was one of my editorial mandates when I was running my magazine in Iowa (that we'll accept ads from anyone, but chains will try to buy articles, and they will be told to gently caress off), but sometimes non-chain isn't an option, especially when traveling. Layovers in the airport can be so brief that you have to say "gently caress it" and grab McDonald's or Chili's, because the menu is universal; when in a destination for work and you don't have a rental car, the Benihana or the Royal Farms or the Qdoba a block away sounds a lot better than the creepy salad bar at the hotel, etc. Third party services like Grubhub and UberEats have changed that game somewhat ... But gently caress those companies, hard.

One of my good friends from college loves chain restaurants like Applebee's because (in his exact words) "It's consistent so if I'm at an Applebee's in New York it will be the same as one in Omaha." I get the logic but man what a low bar. Best thing is he's currently dating a food critic for Time Out LA.

It's not unsound logic, and my mom uses the exact same excuse when she travels. She books her hotels based on how close they are to as many chain restaurants as possible, but she will also refuse to stay at a hotel if it's too close to a Pizza Hut. I wish I were making any of that up.

Agreeing with the popular opinion here that it's always best to go to an original place but if you have to go for a big change Chili's is probably the least offensive. If you're driving from a central Midwestern town like Cincinnati to the south east coast you have to drive through these towns where it's basically a highway off-ramp a hotel a chain restaurant and that's it for like 15 miles in any direction. That's pretty much the only scenario these days where I go to a big chain like that.

Do you guys have bakeries there? Like just mum and dad run (usually vietnamese) where they make meat pies (like actual meat and gravy - not that fruit bullshit), sausage rolls, pasties and usually have a bunch of fresh rolls with salad and ham or chicken on them? I like those places when I'm travelling. Every suburb has a local one where you can get something decent to eat. Not always going to be amazing but you'll always find something delicious and fresh made.

Man we used to eat Pizza Hut so much then at some point realized "There are like 18 unique pizza places surrounding us" (And also the Pizza Hut closed and became this place called Dad's which I highly recommend if you want good bar food in Monroeville that isn't Gateway Grill)

The only Vietnamese bakeries I know of all serve banh mi. There are regular bakeries here, but I don’t know of many that serve meat pies. Most are usually sweet stuff, breakfast pastries, or just bread. I think most bakeries here tend to go for French style than English style. Chain restaurants are fine for middle of a road trip when you just need to get off and back on the road right away. It really sucks if you end up in a town and your only options are chains. Then you know you’re in hell.

There is a large Vietnamese community in Australia and I guess with the british tradition being a former colony there was a mix of the two. Usually there's a hot box on one side filled with the english style pastries and some Vietnamese fare like spring rolls and a cold one full of cakes, banh mi, rice paper wraps. Then your usual breads, rolls, baguettes, croissants etc. I feel kinda bad you guys don't have somewhere you can get a pepper steak pie and a lamington for a quick lunch.

Then your usual breads, rolls, baguettes, croissants etc. I lived in a very, very ethnic area of Baltimore, which was one of my favorite parts of being there. I had authentic Italian, Mexican, Peruvian, Greek, Iranian, Italian and Polish grocers within a 10- or 15-minute walk from the front door of my house. Nothing like picking up some fresh garlic naan with some spicy hummus on the walk home from work when it was late and I just wanted to be lazy. (Alternatively, nothing like picking up a Royal Farms chicken meal--two pieces of dark meat, potato wedges, slaw and a biscuit plus a fountain soda for $6--while walking home from work and feeling lazy.) God, I miss Baltimore sometimes. I wonder if the dating scene there is any better than here in Madison...
