Houston's because they are consistent, and who doesn't love an In-N-Out Burger?

Chipotle. They are the company I most would like to resemble. If I ever had a secret crush on a national restaurant chain once upon a time, it was the Cheesecake Factory. They amazed me with their ability to consistently produce gourmet meals for so many people ranging across many varied cuisines. But now, so many other national and local restaurants are doing the same -- and often with better service.

I must admit, I do crave the occasional Big Mac or Whopper. Please don't tell anyone for as the saying goes, "Friends don't let friends eat at chain restaurants!"
