I usually don't like chains. Shari's is not a favorite of mine by any means
but it was the only place we could get my dad to go to. He has had a stroke
and has lost some of his memory for things.

The other chain does cook from scratch. I do like most of what I have
gotten there but they have really weird salsa. I am not sure what they put
in it. There are tomatoes. I can tell that by sight. But the end result
is an odd color. Not dark red like it should be but sort of washed out
looking. And it is oddly sweet. It is advertised on the menu as sweet.
