» Bennigan’s Bankrupt. Good Riddance.
According to CNN.com: “Restaurant chains Bennigan’s… (has) filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection and will shut their doors.” It’s about time, too.
As more than a few of my acquaintances recall the very last time we went to the not-so popular Flair-filled restaurant, food listed on the menu was unavailable, the food that did make it out of the kitchen was cold, and the containers were non-existent to take what little might have been salvaged in a microwave. Management’s solution to our complaint? They fired the waitress to save their own a$$. The restaurant’s name itself was even lampooned as “Shenanigan’s” in the movie Waiting.
Seriously, no one running that hole had the first clue about taking care of your first priority: the customers. Don’t have something on the menu? Let us know before we order it, or make us a deal on something else. And how hard is it to buy take-home boxes?
So raise a glass of to the demise of Bennigan’s… it’s about damn time.

I have contempt for most restaurant chains anyway. Being a vegetarian makes you realize most places don’t give a shit about you.
I’ll admit that I’m very sad to see the Broccoli Bites go…but it’s been a loooong time since I’ve eaten in a Bennigans, because most of the stores are so terrible.
Slán leat, Bennigans. It was fun (way back when).
