Rothman's Guide To Fine Dining, Part Two.

Today, we will concentrate on the "faux"  steakhouses, which offer up cheap grades of meat, and try to convince you that you are getting value for your money .
I give you Ponderosa, Outback, Bennigans, and all of those low- hanging lamp restaurants, beginning with Applebee's, and all of its copycats, including Red Robin, and
T.G. I. Fridays.
I've always considered them places to go to in order to try to pick up women.
It's been so long since I've tried, that I might be mistaken.
I know one thing, the food is not worth what they charge for it.
The other end of that spectrum is Hooters, where the men go to hit on the help.
I don't know if Steak n' Shake is real steak, but I'm certain that the shakes are solid ice, rendering them undrinkable.
Dairy Queen has a pretty good shake
If you want a really good steak, save up and go to Ruth's Chris or Mortons.
There's a place here called Sullivan's.  It too is on that level.
Otherwise, I can't help you.
Next time, Mexican, Fried Chicken, and Heroes.
With pizza bringing up the rear.

My books, "Show Runner" and it's sequel, "Show Runner Two", can be found at the Amazon Kindle Store.
Along with the newer ones, "The Man Is Dead", and "Report Cards".
They are all compilations of blog entries that have since been removed from the blog.
So this is the only way you can find them.,
You can search by typing in my name, Cindy Williams, Laverne and Shirley, The Odd Couple, or Happy Days.
Check them out.
You don't need a Kindle machine to download them.
Just get the free app from Kindle, and they can be downloaded to an IPhone, IPad, or Blackberry.
The paperbacks, "Mark Rothman's Essays" and my new novel, "I'm Not Garbo" are not e-books.
But they are available for people without Kindle.
I have many readings and signings lined up for those, and the thing about Kindle is you can't sign one.
If you'd like one of the paperbacks, personally autographed, contact me at macchus999@comcast.net
And now, we've got my reading of my "Laverne and Shirley Movie" screenplay on YouTube.
