whether they ate at them or not. When I was a kid growing up in a small Texas town in the '70s, it was a big deal for my family when we went for pizza at Mr. Gatti’s or Mexican food at Monterrey House. For a lot of us, chain restaurants were all we knew because it was all we had. Big cities had restaurant chains too, but they also had a lot of other restaurants to choose from.
The Time I Burned My Hand on a Sizzling Fajita Skillet and Other Tales From the Chain Restaurant Trenches There are reasons people like chain restaurants. They’re consistent. Whether you’re eating in Texas, California, or New York, you know you can open the menu and choose from the exact same items and they will come to your table looking and tasting the way it did the last time you ordered them. Going to a new restaurant presents challenges and if you only go out to eat once or twice a month, maybe it’s not worth the risk.
When I went to Monterey House as a kid, my favorite part of the night was rummaging through the tortilla chips to find the goat milk candy that was wrapped in wax paper and placed at the bottom of the red plastic basket. There were always three pieces, one for me and each of my brothers. I didn’t know I was eating at a chain restaurant, I just knew how much I loved it and it was always a special occasion to get to go there.
