Bennigans

Does no one like the Monte Christo's at Bennigans? That's the only reason to go to Bennigans.

"He must like TGI Fridays."

"I wish you was a broad cuz I need some poontang!" (paraphrase)

What are Monte Christos and what is Bennigan's like?

We have TGIF restaurants here...what's the joke about?

TGIF and Bennigans are direct competitors. TGIF is better, IMO.

Bennigan's is basically a clone of TGIFridays. (or as I like to call them, TGIMcScratchy's - Simpsons ref.)

Obviously when Butters expressed his love for Bennigan's and the person slighted him, Butters assumed the person preferred TGIFridays over Bennigans and was being rude to him because of it.

Bennigan's came way before TGIF. So that makes TGIF the clone. A much better one, though.

As mentioned elsewhere, from Butters' point of view, the trucker kicked him out because he sang the praises of Bennigan's. Butters figured the driver preferred some other restaurant.

Of course, that wasn't the case at all.

Monte Christo's are basically club sandwhiches that have been dipped in batter and fried. I belioeve they are served with raspberry jam and maybe a non-diary whipped topping.

Benningans is the original "fern bar", kind of an upscale adult restaurant/bar with ferns on every table and memoribilia stapled to the walls and ceiling.

TGIFridays is a third rate Bennigans immitator.

Wow, you must have some sucky TGIFs in your area. The ones I've been in are nothing like you describe.

I'm waiting for some to come out with Cholesterol City, and push the on-staff cardiologist and recovery rooms.

Cool idea, with an "ala carte" price for the medical care, and an "all you can 'eat'" price too. <grin>

I've never tried it, actually. The thought of eating a deep-fried sandwhich kinda puts me off.

TGIFridays is the "Yugo of Bennigans". I'm surprised the chain is still in business.
