Franchise: Berni Inn

You limeys ought to finish what’s on your plate.

In the meantime: Joey’s Only Seafood Restaurants. Canada’s rife with these things, but I know they’re branching southward. Boise’s got one.

FYI:

Best known for its Tuesday All-You-Can-Eat Fish & Chips, Joey’s Only started in Calgary, AB in 1985. Since franchising in 1992, Joey’s Only has emerged as Canada’s largest seafood chain with 100 locations across North America. Besides a variety of seafood dishes, Joey’s Only also serves Tennessee Jack’s Rotisserie Chicken and Ribs.

joey's only - dirty three

a faint semblance of sea-worthiness -
Depressing architecture / decor and a southern-US
charm that is completlely, unexplainable.
Probably the Chicken.

Very unexpected turn. But now you must leave a franchise for the next duode.

Sorry , totally forgot.

Ok, here it is; not much of a sit-down experience, but still essential to us when we drive south to Washington State...
Also there are a multitude of musical parallels here:

AM/PM mini-markets - "Im the Bossss...at AMPM mini-markets"

AM/PM mini-markets = Chemical Brothers

Only two guys on shift. Both are button punchers with limited skills.

The Franchise: Chipotlé

Chipotlé=The Power Station

Supposedly dedicated to making the real thing but turns out to be just another revenue stream of a familiar bloated corporation(Duran Duran/Mcdonalds).

Franchise: Old Country Buffet

Deep Purple

(from DP website) "Deep Purple is not a conformist group. There never was, nor ever will be, any fawning to trends."

and

"Call them "Classic" and they will laugh and patiently explain that nostalgia is not a creative word. Sure they've been through the mill a few times. However each time they've emerged stronger, and now you see a band that is hard and professional; displaying texture, dynamics and a humanity that can only come from those rare artists who are masters of their craft."


Franchise: Vienna Beef Hot Dog carts

Franchise: Vienna Beef Hot Dog carts

vienna beef hot dog carts = matchbox 20

always around, and nice shiny package, filled with things that resemble dicks.



ok:
bakers square.

Baker's Square = Pavement

It's not the worst thing you'll ever have, but it's so utterly lacking in creativity and spice that when you get done consuming it, you'll say "Why did I pay for this when I could have just stayed home and made this myself?"

Franchise: Tim Horton's. Because this thread needed to be Canadianified.

What exactly was wrong with what I wrote? Was a Berni Inn breaking the rules?
