Panera makes killer salads and sandwiches. Not to mention the bread, bagels, pastries.

There is a similar chain called Corner Bakery that's also very good.

Eddie Rockets. Loved it when I used to live in Ireland. Unfortunately, we don't have it in Germany. Maybe I should open one...

Is the Corner Bakery the same company as Panera? Because their chicken soup (Corner Bakery) is delish.

Anyway...

I love Cosi
Cheesecake Factory....(by the way, the low-carb cheesecake rocks!)
California Pizza Kitchen

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I get into serious trouble at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles. Not really a 'chain' in the standard sense, but there are a few in the LA area.

Chili's and Pizzaria Uno. I also love Panera.

But the best, though it only has 3 locations so far (Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Chicago), is Grand Luxe Cafe. Great food, HUGE portions (one entree or dessert is good for 2 people), gorgeous atmosphere, stellar service, and very reasonable prices. It is an amazing find.

Truly, Cheesecake Factory would win this for me but since I can only go to one when I visit the fam in Florida (although I understand there is one somewhere in the wasteland of New Jersey...), I will go with my favorite chain here in the city: Chevy's. MMMM. Margaritas...

Does Krispy Kreme count as a resturant?

Hmm...I don't know if I have a favorite. Sbarro probably doesn't count, either. Maybe Friendly's? I'm easily pleased.

"Wasteland of NJ"? The location in NJ are the Menlo Park Mall and the River Edge Mall. I wouldn't in any way consider either location a wasteland (as the CCF scouts locations where they will make a profit).
