A 'Chain' Reaction

fish tacos at j. alexander'
Despite living in a city some say is a culinary capital with countless original menus and unique flavor pairings, I cannot get enough of the chain restaurant.  There's something about knowing exactly how a fish taco will be seasoned in Ohio AND in Chicago.  

Chain restaurants know that consistency is key, and J. Alexander's (a current fave) always turns out exactly what my very specific and sometimes overly critical palate is expecting.  I highly recommend the fish tacos, Asian ahi tuna salad, old-fashioned cheeseburger and turkey burger, fries, chicken pasta soup and Caesar salad.
