The Downfall of Chili's

Payday is here again, and you know what that means? Time to hit a nice sit-down restaurant. After driving around for about 30 minutes looking for a hole in the wall place to eat, we settled in on Chili's. The kids like it, and the wife enjoys the boneless buffalo wings covered in a Chilli's sweet sauce.

RULE 1: DON'T EVER CHANGE YOUR SALSA RECIPE! What the heck were you thinking? Since I learned to appreciate dining out, Chili's salsa is something we always order. We even order just the salsa to go! It came out, and I looked at it like I was at a true Mexican restaurant! I've been to chili's where the salsa doesn't look like it usually does, but it always tastes the same, no so anymore. It looks like they have added more tomato paste as a base, and removed the other ingredients, as well as instead of using vegetables and peppers to spice, they use powered spices. It seemed hotter as well, but I was so disappointed. Now I hope that for some strange reason, the cook at this once facility had just broken up with his boyfriend, or they ran out of the goodness that makes Chilli's salsa the ONLY reason to go, but I don't think any one person can screw it up like that on accident.

RULE 2: Lower the price of the kids meal! 4.29 for a bowl of Kraft Cheese & Mac is pathetic.. I mean seriously, you don't get enough money from me already!

RULE 3: Don't EVER take away my wife's favorite menu item. Chili's menu problem is just like what Simon Cowell says to all those Teenie-Bopper American Idol's "Forgettable." Exactly. Chili's Ribs, no where near as good as Applebees and Famous Dave's. Service? Texas Roadhouse is #1. Quality? Again, Someone else's to own. Chili's, you just don't have it in you to be #1 do you?
