  1. We have a few dine-in theaters but nothing like that. I feel like that setup is just asking people to talk during the movie.

    I love nice recliners and premium screens as much as the next moviegoer but I still prefer to catch most at my local indie with regular non-stadium seats. Nostalgia and supporting local businesses are a helluva pairing lol.

    We had a cinema pub back home similar to those Chunky's theaters, it was cool at first but the novelty wore off quickly. They always left the lights on through the entire movie no matter what and the food was like chain restaurant quality but priced like an actual nice local pub.

    There is perfectly good and delicious chain restaurant food out there and I'm sick of pretending like there isn't.

    i like the 99 as much as the next guy but if I'm paying $20 a plate minimum I want something a bit higher quality

    Chunky's is fine for seeing comedies or kids movies where it doesn't really matter if people are moving around and making noise, plus the kids love it. For seeing an actual movie it's a terrible spot. They also do themed cocktails and sometimes food for the big movies but it is pretty low level food

    Five Guys is my favorite chain for sure. Just got them last night.

    I try to order from local pizza places but sometimes you just need a Pizza Hut pan pizza with parmesan sauce with extra cheese.

    I'll have to try their pan pizza - obsessed with their stuffed crust pizza and cheese sticks

    I just wish Pizza Hut wasn't so pricey compared to Dominos

    The nearest Hungry Howie's closed and it has been a dark time ever since then.

    They're also served at a hotter temperature than other big chains.

    I was thinking places like Applebees/Chilis/etc. no one’s batting an eye if you say you like to eat fast food.

    The original chicken crispers at Chili's were really good but they got rid of them.

    Yeah I grew up in Tampa Bay, and Hungry Howie's was a staple of my childhood.

    My closest movie theatre is in the mall, so I usually buy my ticket like 45 minutes beforehand, and get some food court teriyaki or something before I head in.
