And with Applebee's you're buying a burger or wings or some random chicken sandwich but at Olive Garden you are purchasing "Italian" food a mere 10 / 20 blocks from some of the best traditional Italian restaurants in the nation.

Nominees are:Applebee's on 15th StreetOh hell they've got it in the bag; no need to even mention the other nominees. First, I hate any and all Applebee's, even those sequestered in a sea of big box stores in a soulless exurb. Second, putting any chain, but particularly a friggin' APPLEBEE'S, in a major urban center is a cardinal sin of the culinary and cultural variety. I neglected to mention this category:
