Best Chain Restaurant: Outback Steakhouse


On this trip we sampled the fine cuisine at such chain restaurants as Applebee's and Sizzler's, but Outback Steakhouse would be my choice for when you are stuck in an area with few "local" options. The steaks were done just right, and the seasonal vegetable side memorably crisp and flavorful (I still remember the broccoli I had on my first visit to an Outback in Houston four years ago). I finished those veggies before I'd made it halfway through the garlic mashed potatoes -- surely a first.

Runner-up: Always and forever Mickey D's.
