They used to also make all of there own pasta noodles (angle hair, spaghetti, fettucine, linguine) on location. Had 2 guys working round the clock basically to get that done.

Sounds like going cheap then is what is costing them.

Nope. CB loves In-N-Out/Five Guys/Crown Burger. It's not biased against chains.

what are your feelings about Applebee's?

Mayor of Cougartown

1/16/14 2:40pm
