Chain Restaurants We Need in NYC

New York Eater came up with a list of the top ten chain restaurants that should come to NYC. Read the list and their commentary HERE. The top ten are:

10. Sonics
9. Waffle House
8. Krispy Creme
7. Dairy Queen
6. Denny's
5. Cracker Barrel
4. P.F. Cheng's
3. Chili's
2. Chick Fil-A
1. In-N-Out

Honorable mention include: Jack-in-the-Box, Whataburger, CiCi's, Cheesecake Factory, Claim Jumper, and Steak 'n' Shake.

I'm thinking a definite yes for:
  • Dairy Queen (when you need a Blizzard, you need a Blizzard);
  • Chick Fil-A (best chicken sandwiches in the world);
  • In-N-Out (enough said);
  • CiCi's (I miss $3.99 all-you-can-eat pizza, breadsticks and dessert); and
  • Jack-in-the-Box (I owe them a lot for getting me through law school; the ability to get a Jumbo Jack for 99 cents in Manhattan would change my world).
I wouldn't mind having a Denny's and Chili's. Though, the only reason I want a Denny's is for sentimental reasons because Wife and I used to go there together many years ago. I'd like to have a Chili's because I have a gift card that I'd like to use.

NYC should probably get a Claim Jumper and Steak 'n' Shake, though I'm not sure that I'd actually go there very often.

Cracker Barrel was awesome because anyone any age could order off the kid's menu. I would order berry pancakes off the kid's menu and it was still more than I could eat!
