Since burger talk seems to be current around here, allow me to share the following warning. Avoid Cheddar's at all costs. Now Cheddar's USED to have a pretty damn good burger. But, the other night, my son wanted a mushroom burger (which in the past we've always enjoyed) so we decided to stop in to the new McKinney Stacey Rd. location. Well, now you can only order the burgers cooked medium-well or well-done. No amount of protestation matters. I am no fan of medium-well, but figure I'll give it a try. This thing was nasty. Overcooked, moistureless, flavorless, joyless shoe leather. This would have tasted better if they had simply thrown the patty in the trash. The next night, we were on the prowl for a rebound burger. We stopped into Chili's after noticing they'd recently re-redone their burger menu. For a few months they really screwed their menu up - inexplicably so, removing old favorites for some oddball assembly line style burger ordering mechanism. Well, the old favorites are back, and taste VERY good. We ordered medium rare mushroom burgers and were rewarded with a very pink, juicy, flavorful burger. Cheddar's - you're blowing it. Venger P.S. Another oddball - they are now serving EDAMAME with kids meals. What. The. EFF??? What kind of sexually uptight overwrought fishwife is going to order ginger soaked soybeans for their kids' meal? If the Menendez brothers could have showed proof they experienced this, they would have gotten off with justifiable homicide...
