Sorry - By "British chain" I was being lazy - it's actually South African by origin, but I meant that I dined there in the UK as opposed to in the US which is the country most Flyertalk discussions are automatically assumed to be in!

Incidentally, Nandos in South Africa is actually quite unpleasant.

Nah, I don't automatically assume that (I'm mostly peeking around the Asia forums anyway), but fair enough.

What do you usually get?

Ya, I tried their branches in Sandton (by Johannesburg) and DC, and they're both ok...it's more of an exotic thing in the states, of course, so the couple of branches look nicer (if still lacking good acoustics).

It's all about the 1/2 chicken with 2 sides :)

I used to do coleslaw and either spicey chips or rice, though now I've gone low carb that wouldn't work any more.

The South African chickens are very small and lack much meat. The sides also tend to be quite poorly presented. I guess you can call the chicken authentically African, but there's no excuse for the under-cooked chips, etc.

The one thing the South African Nandos can claim is one of the best commercials I've ever seen:

There's a bar across the street from my apartment building, which I probably hit twice a week, and there's a restaurant under my gym that I probably hit once I week. I try to hit the gym four to five times a week.

When I lived in the Phoenix area and was fresh out of college there were two bars I'd visit at least once, often twice a week. Now that I'm older and more careful with money, I rarely go out to eat unless it's with friends or I'm traveling. The most I'll visit the same place around here is twice a month.

I couldn't do anything that frequently. If I'm lucky I get to eat out at my favorite places twice a month. We still eat out other places too, but if we go out too often it would put too much strain on our budget and waistlines. And surprisingly enough, there are enough really good places in my area that I don't want the same food more often than I get it.

I go to my favorite railroad car type diner (greasy spoon), usually for breakfast and or lunch. On average, I eat there 3x's a week.

Most regulars order the same thing for breakfast, so as you're walking in, they're giving the short order chef your order. As for me, I like to mix it up a bit. French toast one day, or 2 eggs scrambled well with crispy potatoes and rye toast the next.

I'm boring and repetitive. Always go to the same restaurants at my usual travel haunts. Unless they close of course like my favourite Turkish joint in Cologne, Germany after almost 20 years of patronage...

Would love to have "my" Jewish deli for breakfast and lunch but unfortunately not that easy to find at the usual destinations.

There isn't any restaurant that we visit on a weekly basis but there are a couple that I tend to visit in the 2 times a month range. We visit them for somewhat frequently for a few reasons. Proximity to where we live, good food and a good selection of food.

Both are in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn- Roll N Roaster and Wheelers.
1-RnR is "not so fast, fast food". Great roast beef, burgers etc...
2-Wheelers- a bar with a restaurant in back- The best mozzarella sticks anywhere as well as good sandwiches, burgers etc...

I sorely miss my local sushi place in NYC. Was able to get an off-menu bento for $6 that I'd get at least 3x/week as takeout.

I used to go to this place, Zingers, in Denver, every day, two to three times a day. They ultimately went out of business within a year of opening up, and I really miss them. The best part was they were a part of the miles for dining schemes so I got about 6-7 miles per dollar spent.

Now back in LA I have a few places I visit two or three times in a week but then don't go back to for a few weeks.

Places in my rotation, Jersey Mikes (chain), Reddi Chick, BCC Snack Shack, Santa Monica Seafood, Bay Cities Italian Deli, Souplantation (chain), Yummy.com, and back in Denver I also went to Illegal Petes and Snarfs all the time, as in more than once a week.

I was at Roll N Roaster a couple of weeks back. ^

Wheelers... such nice memories. I use to eat there with my AOL Brooklyn Bulletin Board friends.

I hit L and L Hawaiian BBQ nearly every time I get to LA. Chicken Katsu!

BBQ mix plate for me. And they have one of the best macaroni salads I have ever had.

La Varenne, a French brasserie in an upscale office tower in Doha, has the business model to attract office tenants nearly every day, via a menu that changes every week, specials, events, etc.

For such a restaurant, obviously the menu has to be wide, but the food should be simple. It's hard to get around in Doha and there aren't a lot of good options, so this seems to work well. Sort of like the canteen for the tower.
