The thing is, Stuart's went cowboy just for the TV ad campaign.

Inside it's high banquettes, dark colors, more men's club if you will.

Ours isn't. They haven't changed the decor in years. Still looks just like
it did in the 70's. And cowboy was never really in here. And I *don't*
live in the rainforest!

Speaking of which, ever eat at the concept known as Rainforest Cafe?

http://www.rainforestcafe.com/

I've been meaning to try one, thoughts?

You might not live in a forest, but the tiny space where you live is
part of a much larger region called a temperate rain forest.

No. I think they have one at the Seattle Center. I've not heard any good
things about them. Only bad things.

No, sf. We do not and I wish you would quit saying that. I have been to the

No need. They have enough already. Was probably a year ago or so when I

I had to look it up. Not even close. Rainforest Cafe is a place that
caters to kids and kid's parties.

Weirdly, just a few days ago we were heading to the shore and
saw a Ground Round! I had no idea they still existed at all, but it
seems some people took over the name and have revived it.

They used to play old cartoons in one of the dining rooms that
was family friendly, that's my recollection.

I think that peanut allergy thing is overblown and ridiculous. I know
absolutely NO one with a peanut allergy, and yet I know someone who carries an epi pen at all times because she's that allergic to onions. I even know someone who is allergic to beans, yes - beans (not the green vegetable)! If I can know even one person with a weird allergy like that and not a soul who is allergic to peanuts, it's overblown.

My theory is that the peanut allergy has only become common since pregnant mums we're told not to eat peanuts during pregnancy, thus depriving babies of a natural immunity.

The spike in the allergy is more prevalent in the western world. Go middle east and far east they don't tell pregnant mums to eats nuts and incidences of nut allergies are still very low.

Only hillbillies and white trash idiots eat at Texas Roadhouse. Same with Outback Steakhouse. Chain restaurants are garbage.

Five Guys has spics frying shitty burgers on a flattop, for $15. They have a dumbass sign on the wall announcing where the fries came from that day. LMAO wow! The frozen Sysco fries came from Butt****, Washington today! Give me a ****ing break. And then you get to sit down at a plastic table and chairs (I had a nicer dining set in my Weebles playhouse in the early 1970's) and listen to the Beach Boys being screamed out of tinny speakers mounted in the plastic ceiling. Yeah, those ****nuts were in business about two days here. I'm sure you ****ing morons in California think it's the ****ing tits.

It's the tolerance of mediocre food for fun - I'd probably settle in
well at one of Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville theme restaurants.

One that I do miss for the food was Bahama Breeze - to my taste they had
one of the really fine Paella's I've ever had dining out.

http://www.bahamabreeze.com/menus/di...er_seafood.asp

Las Vegas is the closest, so it's not a regular stop, but it has been
rewarding in the past.

If only crows could be used like cormorants... those thieves
devour my blueberries... even well netted... they're very smart and
persistant, they'll work in teams dive bombing the netting pressing it
down so that their partner can reach the berries, and they share by
taking turns. Naturally they only take the perfectly ripened ones. A
few years ago I gave up on netting, let them have a good time. Crows
are the only bird I've met that know to fold a slice of bread in
quarters before flying off with it so it won't flap about hindering
their flight. Crows rarely eat where they find food, they bring it to
a safe place first... and they look about for several minutes before
snatching food to be sure they're not being tricked. I like crows,
they keep the planet clean and they're very entertaining... they don't
migrate so in winter they struggle to eat, so I feed my murder of
crows, they like meat trimmings, they love hotdogs. They must be
watching my back deck constantly, when I toss out the trimmed fat from
meat they are on the ground before I can close the door, and they are
watching from the tree tops some 500+ yards away. Nothing critters
eat ever goes into my trash can. In winter the drippings from a roast
get tossed in the snow, keeps crows from starving, I typically sop the
drippings with expired bread too... even if I toss out plain stale
bread I drizzle it with olive oil. People need to stop and think,
even the few crumbs from a bag of cookies or from slicing bread will
keep a critter alive. Humans stole their environment, we are
obligated to feed them... I will never donate anything to feed an able
bodied human... get a J O B! Food banks, soup kitchens and the like
are purely a SCAM! Anyone who can walk to a soup kitchen can work...
pick up litter, scrub floors on your hands and knees, clean shit from
animal rescue cages, but do something to earn your meal. Any able
bodied person who is unwilling to do anything to earn their meal needs

Ordered the chicken strips a couple of times and there is no way you can
eat all of that. Mine lasted two meals. I like their country fried
sirloin, but it was so salty, the last time, I could not eat it. I will
go back, though, this is the first time I have ever been disappointed in
their food, so I did not bother complaining. The rest of the meal was
fine. I like their fried pickles.

Me either. I did eat them. I also ate them while breast feeding. The
nurse that ran the breast feeding class told us not to change our diets
because people all over the world were eating all sorts of things and those
babies were fine. She did say that if we noticed that something we were
eating/drinking *was* bothering our baby to stop it but otherwise, carry on.

I was told not to have certain seafood, sugar or certain artificial
sweeteners. Aspartame and Splenda were fine. Saccharine was not. They
also said on the news not to have raw dairy products.

Decent food, for a chain, we only eat there when traveling, I love their
onion rings. We took a group of 100 people there and nobody complained.

My BIL used to go to Cabo and Jimmy Buffet's was a mandatory stop.
Maybe I would do it too if I was on vacation. Come to think of it, the
answer is probably no. We didn't seek out Margaritaville in LV and I
think I saw it in Niagara, but wasn't interested enough to give it a
second thought.

Clever crows, you have there. Do a search on YouTube, "bird fishing with
bread", birds are pretty smart.

It's a surprisingly broad and sophisticated menu indeed.

I wish Darden would roll a bunch more locations out nationally.

Pregnant are certainly told it in the UK and some other European countries,I think for the last few years:

No, they are NOT . Your NHS link says exactly the opposite;

quote

"
Peanuts are safe in pregnancy

Go ahead and eat peanuts or food containing peanuts (such as peanut
butter) during pregnancy, unless you are allergic to them or a health
professional advises you not to.

You may have heard peanuts should be avoided during pregnancy. This is
because the government previously advised women to avoid eating peanuts
if there was a history of allergy (such as asthma, eczema, hay fever and
food allergy) in their child's immediate family.

This advice has now been changed because the latest research has shown
no clear evidence eating peanuts during pregnancy affects the chances of
your baby developing a peanut allergy."
