Our family has a love/ hate affair with Boston Market.\n\nIn the early years, Boston Market was a hot property, as hot as Chipotle is now. Back then, when it was know as Boston Chicken, the sight of those spinning chickens would make our mouths water. \n\nThen the dot com era burst and people didn't want to go out for something they could buy at their local grocery store. And then, due to over expansion, Boston Market went bankrupt.\n\nSo now, if you are following along at home, this when McDonalds came in and bought the company and saved them. I forget what state we were living in at the time, but it seemed that all the Boston Markets, but a few were closed over night. \n\nToday, we have a more upscale restaurant. Not quite a wait-service place, but close. You order, like always up front and someone will come by and deliver your meal to your table. Nice! They even have fancy napkins and everything. How about those green tinted Coca-Cola glasses, eh? LOL\n\nWhere our family has a disconnect, is the more upscale price and somewhat diminished quantity; hence value for our money. They've also change several standard menu items like stuffing and cream spinach for what benefit I cannot understand. In retail, you don't fix things that aren't broken! \n\nThe food is still good. The service is even better and the menu is still mostly (with the above noted exceptions) unchanged. It's just times have changed. Fry's and every other supermarket offer a fully roasted chicken for $6.00, and those guys at Chipotle are growing exponentially. And one of these days, the public is going to figure out that El Pollo Loco is just as good.\n\nSo, we don't come here as often as we would like. It's just now, there are so many places in the crowded \"I don't feel like cooking tonight dinner market.\" Sorry!
