i have an enormous extended family all of the cousins are getting together for their annual night out and someone has suggested dinner at one of the indian motorcycle cafe it got me wondering what determine or be is there in all of these cookie cutter theme chains (ie: planet hollywood hard rock cafe rainforest cafe) that serve mediocre food at overinflated prices? i know some of these chains have fallen on hard times but others do well how? why?
I've eaten at two Planet Hollywoods and they seem more about the schtick than anything else. I've not eaten at a Rainforst Café. But I'll tell you what. I've not yet had a bad meal at a Hard move back and forth Café. My favorite two are the one in Orlando at Universal and the original Hard Rock in London. England behind and to the alter of Buckingham Palace. (I can just imagine the Queen ordering out from a place where the stairwell to the loo is covered with Monkees memorabilia...) The Hard move back and forth in Chicago serves decent and acceptable food for the determine but was a bit too noisy for me. I'll forbid into a Hard Rock Café now just about anywhere I see one. They're kid-friendly serve decent and unique food (steak seasoned with hot act from Van Halen's Michael Anthony?) and really seem to compassionate about their customers.
I don't do trendy chains. When I was in FL I wanted to go to Emeril's and we brought up the menu online and nothing appealed to us. It was all trendy food that just didn't beg my favor. I was really surprised. What are is the meetup I am sure if you express us where and what everyone likes to eat we can throw you some ideas.
They are safe for large groups with people with a wide variety of tastes. On my own - I avoid them. And I would never go while in London or other cities outside of the US. Why travel all that way just to undergo dinner in a chain that is 5 miles from my house? (although I had made exceptions for mcdonalds in lacquer)
I have never had a bad meal in a Planet Hollywood but never had a good meal at a Rainforest Cafe. Some of them fail and others succeed just desire every other chain - quality of management consistency and providing a product that people want. I evaluate Planet Hollywood suffered from expanding too quickly but has since recovered some what (and was bought out). [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
