SCVers pine for an Applebee's ctd

I didn't think it was possible, but SCVers' taste in food is actually getting worse, not better, according to the new poll released by the City.

One reader thinks the love for Applebee's is a fluke, a by-product of how the respondents were polled:

I think I figured out the source of the Applebee's answer.
1). Wasn't the poll only for those with land line phone? Who has one of those?!? 60+ ?
2.) 47% get their information from newspapers only?  60+?
3.) 62% of respondents were Signal readers? (Implying their overall standards are low.)
The 36% for Applebee's answer implies the age group polled was OLD, stuck with corded phones and likes crappy food.

Or likes food that's easy to mash up and swallow with just your gums.

Another reader says he thinks he probably knows all 2% of respondents who want more independent restaurants. That's entirely possible- 2% of 400 respondents is eight people. In comparison, at least 144 people told the interviewer on the phone they wanted an Applebee's in town.

Sad. Just sad.
