So Long, Bennigan's!
You're going to have to find a new joint to get Broccoli Bites from, because Bennigan's is done! Their parent company filed for bankruptcy, which means all company-owned locations are being liquidated and will never open again as of today. Independently-owned Bennigan's might stay open, but it's not known for how long.
This also royally sucks for employees. They will most likely not get their last paycheck.
I might be a cold cunt (HA!) for saying this, but I'm not going to miss that joint. I prefer to dine at more elegant establishments like Applebee's, Chili's, T.G.I. Friday's and Red Robin. If one of those places closed, my stomach would cry a million tears. Tears of joy probably, because their food seriously fucks you up and leaves your bowels begging for mommy.

I had a button that said that in the 70's. We used to get trashed there in the 70's because they would serve minors in Miami oh and minors were UNDER 18!!!

Be careful.
I like Red Robin (at least the corporate-owned ones, not the independent ones). Their steak fries are great and they make good burgers. PLUS they have waitron service AND serve liquor!
Don't mess with the rooster, or I'll mess with you!!!

mwa!
didn't even know they were still around...oh wait, I've been passing one for 10 years on the highway, never mind

It's so weird - we have a place like that in Ontario...I can't remember what it's called exactly but the building and the sign looks JUST like that. It's the kind of place that's usually situated beside a strip mall in the some littler town...

Poor Butters. He always gets screwed over.

Steak and Ale also closed today (owned by the same company) - now that pisses me off they had a great salad bar and the greatest maccaroni salad.
and to boot news that in New York City property values have gone up 12 percent. ARGH. ____________________________________________

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Where am I going to go when I have a secret hankering for a Monte Cristo now? What is Butters going to do now? OMG THINK OF BUTTERS!
It's too bad for the employees, it sounds like got screwed in the end.
South Park bitches need to make an episode about Bennigan's closing for Butters...awww...it was his favorite place to eat too. IS there a Bennigan's in NYC? Probably in Long Island or NJ most definitely?!
Your face!
Ha! and I totally just apllied for a job there and never got a call back (I'm a desperate college student, don't hate!) Guess it wasn't meant to be, jokes on them,lol. Bennigans sucks, Chili's and their 2 for 1 drinks all day every day =-)

I vaguely remember their cheese dip being really good. And probably made of Velveeta. I ate at one in Chicago over 4 years ago. That was seriously the last time I ate there. I don't even remember what I ate either. I think I ate at them a lot with my dad in the 90s in Florida. They weren't memorable either, unless you count my dad arguing with my ex-stepmother a lot at them. Yeah, good riddance to bad food, I say!
Your face!
I guess we have one here...oh well, never ate there anyhoo. RIP, toodles, sayonara, et al.

Am I getting old or is the supermarket playing great music?
Awww that's sad. RIP Bennigan's, you had good food.
I had my 5th birthday at a Bennigan's. The wait staff brought me a cake and had me stand on the seat while all the drunk guys at the bar sang me Happy Birthday.
Good times.

I'll miss those damn Monte Cristo's. Yummy. And the fond memories of being 18 and having a friend who was the bartender, so I could get wasted all I wanted.... sweet sweet memories...
I'll remember Bennigan's with fond memories after getting myself, my boss and a VP of the company I was working for at the time kicked out for being drunk in public. Maybe there's still a bit of my puke left in the parking lot of the one in Santa Clara.

How is it that the employees won't get a last paycheck? Or unemployment, at least?
Under the bankruptcy law, employees are just another unsecured creditor. Unsecured creditors are typically paid according to how much is owed, so the line cook making 350 a week is pretty low on the list.
Pretty sad. I was a manager for Bennigan's in the Chicago area for a while in the 90s. Not a great company, but a decent one (then, at least). Lots of good people lost their jobs and their livelihoods today. Really a shame.

As far as myself I will be fine..but we have people there who live day by day...thats what sucks. But the party was great.....we had people from other restaurants at our parking lot advertising for their places.

OMG. Sorry sweets! That's awful...
I never had a Monte cristo. I watched people order it and devour it in front of me, but never ordered it myself. It smelled/looked great but I knew I would never wake up the next day due to clogged arteries

So MK I will be your 'Official Bennigans Goddess'. Those fuckin bastards!!! I work(ed) for Bennigans for close to a year. (In restaurant time thats like 10 years....) I woke up at 9 this morning and I have 9 text messages from my managers saying 'We're 86'ed!' No notice, nothing!!!!! (The people who worked there for years, management, whatever, they lost 401k, everything.) My freakin uniform was in the wash and all! So the funny thing is, my coworkers go there at 8 this morning and call me, i show up at 10 and we have a parking lot party. The news shows up and all. Sad thing is I loved working there. (And for those of you who loved the Monte Cristo, you are welcome for the heart attack. :) You bitches dont tip worth shit :)

Shit...i couldnt even find that!! Seriously...I was in Glasgow and there were more clothing stores and pubs than ANYTHING there. Oh yeah...and they had Burger King. Nothing else. I did end up losing quite a bit of weight after 10 days though.
______________
I'm from the states and went to Glasgow once and got the most beautiful red/green a little above the knee kilt with a big saftey pin in the front (I'm sure you have a proper name for that). I wear it in the winter with a black body suit, black hoise and slip on black, closed toed heels. It is an absolute guy magnate. The guys love it. I can go into a club where other girls are dressed a lot more scarcely, but I walk into that club with a real kilt, saftely pin, black hoise and heels, and the guys go banannas.
