More re: quality of food.  There was a point in time at Fridays where you would wait a good 40+ minutes for your food from the time you ordered it.  Sure that helped sell booze and appetizers… but it was also because they were actually making the food to order.  Chicken Fingers were real pieces of raw chicken that…
