I am wondering if the author actually believes what she wrote in this article. My guess is she wrote it to get clicks and a reaction. Mission accomplished.
This could be because chain restaurants are in food business and beer is just add on.

(Wife recently paid $7.50 for a bottle of Dogfish 60 minute. )The mom and pop restaurants seem to be much better, usually in the $4-$5ish range, depending on the beer.. The local brewpub also sells their beer for about that much.Moral of the story: We don't eat at chains when we can help it.This could be because chain restaurants are in food business and beer is just add on.Its a stretch to say most of them are even in the food business. They're in the reheating engineered corn syrup and factory farmed meat business.we like to go to a local franchise called Panini's. great food and monster selection of craft beers. you can get everyday 16oz draft or 12oz bottle craft specials for $3.50-$4.50, 22oz drafts $5.50.

My chain was 100% made from scratch when I started there in 1993, but wholly and embarrassingly different by the time I left some 20 years later
No names but frequently made fun of, especially in "Waiting" and "Office space." BuT again, I should not name names after giving them 20 years of my life. I'm sure someone can figure it out and I don't mind fielding guessesEdit for typos

Yesterday. after several hours of ice fishing, I went to the bar for lunch and had a Reuben sandwich with fries, washed down with three pints of PBR. The bill was $17.50. I was happy.
