I'm allergic to three common food preservatives, so I usually stay far away from chain restaurants. I've had too many times where friends dragged me to one, I asked the waitress if there were any preservatives in, say, their alfredo sauce, and found out that they had no idea what they were talking about when they told me "Oh no, it's very fresh and we make it ourselves."

Il Fornaio is ok- not great, but I can at least eat most of their food. My favorite "chain" is Macrina Bakery, which has a bakery in Belltown and another one up on Queen Anne Hill. I love their salads and breads and incredible desserts. Mmmmmmmmm.
