Green Onion
Baking Powder
Limes
Lamb Chop
Paprika
Bread Crumb

etc., etc., etc.

... and so on. You get the idea ... then, after the peoples have voted for the ingredients of their choice, all you have to do is figure out which restaurant uses those most popular ingredients in their typical foodstuffs not including specials like Lemon Pie Friday, for example. That way, you take the cost/price factor out of the equation as well as the chain/local restaurant problem.

FAX THE HELPFUL TO ALL AT ALL TIMES

I wonder if we could use this system to make the ultimate recipe. So maybe if we determine that people's favorite individual ingredients are chocolate, prime rib, butter, and raspberry, we could use those to make the consensus favorite dish of chiefsplanet.

I'm 100% serious. One time when I went there to visit some friends who went to Creighton Law School and wanted Mexican. They all said that the best Mexican place in town was by the Riverfront. It was called "Dave's" or something. It was just some American guy's first name, and it was easily the worst Mexican food I've ever had.

I like Omaha for the CWS and Henry Doorley, but the nightlife, restaurants, etc. are abysmal.
The fat people are eating at McDonald's. There are some really great oldest to eat here.

Applebees used to be really good but when it went more healthier and hip it went down hill.

The Applebee's in the KC Northland was supposedly one of of the most popular in the nation at one time... I know a lot of people who love that place. I think I've been there maybe 3 or 4 times.

i usually just find a mom and pop place that serves really good food of a certain kind. i got a really good italian place, mexican, sushi, chinese, steak, bbq, greek, cuban, middle eastern on and on. **** all the big corporatey corporates.

oh and i also know the maitre d at dorsia so that helps.

Range in Harrahs is really nice.

How many of you who live in KC get down to Les Fou Frog very often? That is one of my favorite restaurants in the midwest, with the (now defunct) Sage in Des Moines and Chino Latino in Mpls.

I've always been skeptical of the cost of buying a franchise business. Obviously it's popular so maybe there's something I'm missing, but it's hard to see the added value that's worth $1.2 million. You get some name recognition and ads, but how much is that really worth in the end? I think I'd rather take my chances and start up independently and aim for a good local reputation.

The outhouse in Lawrence has pretty good food.

lol, franchisees are businessmen who know nothing about running restaurants, they only thing they see or worry about are the plus's and minus's. It's a good investment if you have the cash and you wouldn't have to do anything, just hire a vice president to do it for you.
