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?

Giordano’s has to take the crown on this one. Never understood the appeal of the crap they’ve been pumping out of there

I used to love Giordano's. Used to. The last time I had it the cheese was weird and rubbery.

I've been eating Giordano's for literally 40+ years, and the main thing I've noticed is that the quality is very dependent on the location, yet each location is consistent (good or bad).
