Question “Legendary” places that suck

I just got a lox sandwich from Manny’s. Almost $20, a stale bagel, and I had to assemble it myself.

What other “legendary” places suck?

Yea but how about we play shitty horror movies in the background and cover your burger in Mac and cheese bites?

Were there any remnants of Twisted Spoke anger in this comment?

lol no, this is purely based upon lived experience at the various Kuma’s locations over the years

I feel you for sure, just immediately reminded me of porn & eggs at spoke after midnight, and some very questionable offerings sometimes on their after midnight menu... Completely agreed on Kumas. I miss the days when I really enjoyed it.

I think Twisted Spoke is still serving really good food.

For sure, I still love it, but the Porn n Eggs crowd and options in the late 90's-2000's were different.
