I'll never forget Bennigan's. So many late nights spent there. The broccoli bites were so dang good. Luckily I have mastered making my own. And I've gotten the sauce about 96% correct.

Thanks for the wonderful memories in this video! We had a "Fuddrucker's" in Westport, a "Bennigan's" in Milford, and I believe 2 "Chi-Chi's", 1 in Norwalk and the other in Danbury. The dining experiences with family and friends were always enjoyable, although I do recall both "Fuddrucker's" and "Chi-Chi's" being a bit overpriced at the time... 🤔 😮 😱 😡

There was a chi chi's at stamford town center in the 1990's. I think I went to HS with a son of the founder. There was also a Bennigan's in stamford. Actually I always thought Fudducker's was pretty lousy. I remember when it opened in westport and waiting forever for food, and it seemed people who ordered after the two of us go their food much sooner. But I also remember friends from 45 minutes away calling me saying they were there and lets meet. Bennigan's was not so good either. I remember the monte cristo was deep fried. It should be pan fried for so many reasons.

One once-prolific restaurant in the US is Ryan's, which used to have locations pretty much everywhere you can imagine. I've eaten at a LOT of those in various cities. Sadly, though, many of them have gone out of business, and only a handful of them still remain, mostly in the South. And it's too bad, because they had a LOT of great stuff, and it was a good place for families, because it had a great variety of food available! The one in my area closed years ago, and the building was eventually demolished. Sadly, buffets in general seem to be going the way of the dodo bird!

Caribou was bought out by the German private company JAB that later bought out Keurig and restructured it with Snapple and Dr Pepper and spun them back off to a stock held company. Caribou had MUCH better coffee than Starbucks. That company was mainly buying up all sorts of food and bev brands that if could get cheap. Companies that had fairly "neutral" values - with a good amount of debt to balance their assets. They basically let it run - without adding any money and it closed a bunch of stores. Then they sold it off to Panera - who still own the brand today. JAB flips brands like they were pancakes.
