Recall Ping!......................
Meat Glue.......meet trashcan.............
Now if they could find some chicken under the breading . . .
I thought TGIFriday’s went out of business, or was that just the restaurants while the name continues on via food companies?
One of George’s best. And on point.
They changed their name to just ‘Fridays’.................
Parts is pieces parts.................
...and you thought that was ‘Prime Rib’!................
our local TGI Friday’s was so awful that it closed many decades ago ....
We still have ours. They re-organized and it’s now called just ‘Friday’s’..................
Thanks. However, several TGIF restaurants have been closed here in northern Indiana, thus my thought. Perhaps it is just a selective closing due to shrinking market during Wuhan and they never recovered.
OR am I confusing them with a similar chain that has gone under???? Oh well....and other deeep subjects.
We don’t eat that garbage!
hmmm, so they dropped the “religious” part ;-)
They wanted the atheists to feel welcome.................
