I've also always hated the use of the word "bucks" instead of "dollars"- it just adds to the sense that this place- and Dad- are both really cheap. <br /><br />And if it's going to cost fifty bucks, here's a suggestion- dump the Accidental Miracles off with the grandparents, and take your wife to a half-decent restaurant. Better yet, wait a few more months, save a little more money, and take her to a really nice place for dinner. The Precious Little Ones don't need to be eating this crap anyway.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-77894826126217258772011-07-21T16:06:19.188-07:002011-07-21T16:06:19.188-07:00What I find most amusing in these commercials is t...What I find most amusing in these commercials is the "around ten bucks" line. Their buffet is $10.99 plus a $1.99 beverage plus sales tax. For a family of four, that winds up to be "around 50 bucks" plus tip. False advertising.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14807181661891220565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-30723251788663249112011-07-19T15:11:44.759-07:002011-07-19T15:11:44.759-07:00They've really dressed up the blue plate speci...They've really dressed up the blue plate special, haven't they?Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565030682360603009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-86663158355033634692011-07-19T12:09:35.338-07:002011-07-19T12:09:35.338-07:00I don't know...

Maybe that "Bam" by the Dad is a sly, playful tribute to Emeril, whose wonderful recipes probably served as quite an inspiration to GC and their seafood menu.baudkarmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09443074068884999599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-79112469226068990272011-07-18T21:02:34.590-07:002011-07-18T21:02:34.590-07:00I actually just went to one of these joints the ot...I actually just went to one of these joints the other day. They dont have them in Jersey so while I was visiting g-ma in Florida I would try it out. I mean come on. Out of a 100 feet of buffet there has to be something I like. Wow was I wrong. Every single item at this roach infested, dollar store restaurant is absolutely disgusting. Even the desserts. Even the drinks were watered down to hell. This trip to Florida has been a real eye opener. To think I used to be shocked that 5 out of ten Americans are on food stamps. We should really bomb this awful state right off the map. Everyone here is on unemployment or disability or food stamps or welfare or all of the above. Everyone has 18 children. Everyone makes less then 30,000 a year. And the most interesting thing of all... Everyone has seizures. Pretty much every person, young and old that I have met has some story about how they passed out one day and had seizures and now they can never hold down a job again.thepapershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671018463903866136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-62548419504088344302011-07-15T17:18:32.124-07:002011-07-15T17:18:32.124-07:00It's also depressing as Hell; everyone knows t...It's also depressing as Hell; everyone knows that these places are where you go if you don't have the time or money to eat good food so what we're seeing is what bothered Seinfeld about soda ads: trying to make carbonated sugar water and crappy, tasteless, greasy food seem a lot better than we know it is.DreadedCandiru2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15561460498807276057noreply@blogger.com
