Brad, I suppose a French Bistro has it's place, but for a quick nourishing lunch , why not McDonald's?
As I've said, I've never been to a local McDonald's but I may have been to one on the road, though I can't recall it. On the other hand I've never been in a Starbucks either, so I haven't experienced those cute little lumps of cream. No McDonald's, no Starbucks! Guess I've never lived. On the other hand, we mostly do home-cooked meals, or mixtures such as ordered in Thai chicken combined with home-cooked angel hair pasta instead of rice.
