Fast food places have something of a purpose, they fill me up if I'm short on time but with chain restaurants I really fail to see the point. The local establishments rarely cost more than the Applebee's and Chili's of this world

you want to bet. I can name at least 10 restaurants that are way way more expensive than Applebees. can you afford to go to a local decent place every Friday night?

So what if you can name more expensive restaurants. That doesnt mean there arent more that are less expensive or the same. That is a totally irrelevant argument. Sure Le Bernardin is more expensive than Applebees. But Grays Papaya is a lot cheaper, maybe $3 or $4.
