I've had the same experience with Ruth's Chris.

Indian Bend Road store used to be the best steakhouse in town (and this
is a steakhouse town) and had positively obsequieous service. Went to
San Francisco, the RC there didn't know how to cook a steak, and the
service was unconscionable. A few years later, the Indian Bend Road
store sucks.

Meanwhile, every Red Lobster I've ever been in has had prompt service
and food right in the target zone, even when I'm calling my own shot
(trout, cajun spice, no oil, broiled; baked potato, dry; carrots only
instead of mixed veggies) they do it well enough that I rarely make
that at home any more. I will go to the Salt Cellar when I want
something like smoked halibut, and Rockfish for the fried oyster Po'boy
or the Copper River salmon in season, but there's nothing wrong with
RL. It's solid if not spectacular, and it doesn't serve fake food.

Anyone slandering Red Lobster is slandering Red Lobster. The way Leno
did it used falsifiable facts. If I was RL's general counsel, I'd sue
and win an easy settlement.
