New York Chain

I remember reading a comment about the Jones Pool that said something like "it's something like you might find in a big city like New York". You hear that sentiment about a lot of things in KC. For some people midwestern things aren't good enough, you need to be like the big city. I'm not a New York basher and I love big cities, but that kind of self defeating attitude is a bunch of shit and I don't shit like that.

This came to mind when I was reading this article on NY Eats, the 10 chain restaurants that should come to NY. Never mind that we have 9 of the 10 chains in KC, but 3 of them are Denny's, Waffle House and Chili's. The Chili's entry really cracks me up.

You know the jingle, but here's something you maybe didn't know: the ribs at Chili’s are slow smoked over actual pecan wood so that they are always tender and fall right off the bone. It’s practically the poor man’s Blue Smoke.

 Now tell me something Kansas Citians, would you ever go to Chili's for ribs? Can you imagine living somewhere that going to Chili's for ribs would be something you would think about doing? Think about that the next time you have some sort of self defeating attitude about living in KC. New York strives to get Chili's ribs...who's better now?
