Personally, I try to support local independent restaurants, which are invariably much better quality and value for money than some horrid, soulless chain restaurant.
Not in my experience. I’ve been in many crappy independent restaurants.
So have I, but there’s something soul destroying about dining in an identikit chain establishment. In addition, having had the misfortune to spend several years working in a prime example of souless chain restaurant hell, I’ve seen how little effort goes into the food.
My soul is perfectly fine when I eat at Nandos. I tend not to like eating at scabby Burger Kings much though… Funnily enough the places that make me feel the most depressed are small scruffy low value takeaway or lunch places.. Or some family type pubs I’ve been to, they are the worst. Far worse than Nandos.
