You know what I've realized? Besides an occassional trip to Panera, Papa Johns, or Wendys for lunch, I rarely ever eat at national chains anymore. It isn't an economic or politic decision, it's just that there are so many good local places around here, I don't bother with the big name stuff anymore. I'm not even close to have tried all the places around here.
In Bridgman, we didn't have those sort of options. One of the good local places, Horsefeathers, closed the year before I left, so the local, reasonably priced options were pretty much Santaniellos, which my mom doesn't like for whatever reason, Schu's in St. Joe, and D'Agostinos. Let me tell you, I was so sick of D'Agostinos by the time I left...
All three of these places are Italian food. Oddly, that's the one thing I haven't seen much of here. I haven't noticed any local Italian places that aren't pizza joints. Just not as big here as it is in Michigan, I guess.
Even Holland was just, what?- 84 East, Taj India, and that Japanese place I can't remember the name of. The last time I ate at a major chain here was...IHOP back in May.
Note to self: I really need to get to Aster's Ethiopian for lunch one day and check out their buffet. Remind me to grab breath mints that day though.
