Who cares about NPR elitism. Why shame people for doing what they want.
Hell, the Buffalo Wild Wings in Daly City has a more diverse crowd than any bar or restaurant in SF.
- mire_rustling 6y agoToo true.
- throwanem 6y agoBetter mozzarella sticks, too, not that that's a high bar. It's not an accident they called out Applebee's by name. They knew what they were doing.
- katzgrau 6y agoHonestly, BWW had the best tap lineup in my area for a long time, which has no shortage of trendy bars.
- rconti 6y agoThe first time I walked into a BWW (maybe 10 or 15 years ago) my eyes opened wide when I saw all the taps. My excitement wore off when I realized that it was literally all budweiser products and most of them had the exact same thing.
- katzgrau 6y agoAh yea. Good beers took a while to come to my area (maybe 5-10 years ago). I'm guessing other parts of the country might have been a little different, especially as Big Beer tried to catch the craft wave and smaller breweries didn't have any distribution yet. Maybe it's different now in most areas (hopefully)
- hamandcheese 6y agoI live(d?) in SF and would on occasion rent a car just to drive to Buffalo Wild Wings :)
- lotsofpulp 6y agoBuffalo Wild Wings followed the same pattern as any other rapidly expanding chain - start with an okay product, get name recognition, expand quickly with excessive financing, and then cut costs (and hence quality) while milking the brand's original reputation. I'm sure a few people cashed out along the way.
