Chico’s

Nothing really special. You’ll get the quality you expect. Wouldn’t make a special destination out of it. If you’re nearby, hungry and not picky you’ll get good burger or sort.

As long as you’ve never eaten American food, tex-​mex, Mex, pseudo mex or even pseudo American, you might just not notice how bad this ‘American Eatery’ is. This place actually made my nostalgic for the English food of the early 70s — not the charming regional cuisine, but the pathetic, no-​care, no talent, no idea food that reigned before the UK’s much hyped culinary renaissance. i can only think that this chain is a way to exploit the lack of knowledge of the average Finn about any kind of foreign food. whatever you order, ‘burger’, fries, mex, its ALL BAD. clearly the menu has been cleverly designed by accountants and MBAs to squeeze max profit per plate — cheap, nasty ingredients, small portions of protein, mass produced ingredients and sauces reeking of preservatives, artificial color and flavorings. imagine you had to feed a family of 4 with 4 Euros and could only shop at the cheapest grocery store for the cheapest bulk, frozen ingredients, and had only 10 minutes to throw together the whole meal. well, you now know what a visit to Chico’s is like. Locals may be able to tolerate, but for anyone who has ever traveled abroad, or for foreigners, for goodness sake AVOID.
