Boston Market Expanding Overseas

[jsglow]

Chicago is regularly rated one of the top restaurant cities IN THE WORLD, yet its second tier in your opinion.  And I don't know where this Nantucket notion comes from.  Probably from a good, old school dining experience in the 70s.  Not to mention no mention of LA or SF, probably 2 of the top 5 restaurant scenes in the country.

Vogue, you're a good guy and I don't mean to disparage your many years of dining experience, but you seem as qualified to speak on the current dining scene in the US as I do on the bar scene at Marquette in the mid 60s, 20 years before I was born.

Every time I step into a Boston Market, I'm reminded of cafeteria style food/servings.

To think the Arabs believe they've been getting hammered by American natural gas production already...

I see that the Gasthaus is closing.  I think that the main problem here is that German food, while good, isn't exactly in the mainstream these days.  I mean, look at this.

No, the main reason is an estate issue and the family can't settle ownership of the building so they sold it to a developer. Now there will be Panda Express + another stripmall with a coffee shop. My lord the suburbs suck donkey sack. Chains, stripmalls, no soul. Puke.

wow!  really?  the gasthaus restaurant bldg is a nice looking bldg. a little out of place on the busy intersection, but they've been there for a while. that's too bad.  i guess chains and strip malls are where the money is, but panda express??  aren't they like the taco bell of chinese food?  them and wangs wok?     i've never been to a panda's-are they that good?

no, you're right. I love me some Panda Express, but it is as Chinese as Taco Bell is Mexican.

There is vacant storefronts within a PW of the gasthaus. Not sure there is really much there but there must be. It's like there is no master plan for Waukesha - oh wait, burbs dont do that.
