But, the be all end all most annoying place on the face of the planet has got to be Joe's Crab Shack. "Hi!! Welcome to Joe's Crab Shack!!! May I sing along with the songs being blared over the PA, make sort of weird hand gestures for no apparent reason in an attempt to be jovial and annoy the living s--t out of you today?!!!!" I'd rather gnaw on my own finger than eat there. I wandered in once because it was the only restaurant within walking distance of my hotel and walked out... changed somehow.
OMG, so true! I got suckered into dining here once in the suburbs of Dallas while on assignment. Unfortunately, unlike you, I didn't have the time to walk out and find another option, so I ended up suffering through dinner. I had to have a short conference call on my cell - which due to the loud blasting music, only lasted a few moments before everyone hung up on me.

At least it wasn't like Bubba Gump's - good grief. Stop asking me stupid questions about a movie I saw once 10 years ago and just bring me my damn soup!
