[[Chris]] isn't much of a cook, nor is anyone else currently living at [[14 Branchland Court]]. When he's not eating reheated frozen dinners, he's usually chowing down at a variety of local '''restaurants'''.

== Applebee's ==

'''[[Wikipedia:Applebee's|Applebee's]]''' is a popular chain of sit-down restaurants. Chris has occasionally eaten here, but it's generally too dear for his budget. His most notable visit was [[Catie Date Conversation Transcript|his date]] with [[Catherine]] and her cousin Al on 31 [[October 2014]], where he horrified staff and patrons alike.

== Arby's ==

'''[[:wikipedia:Arby's|Arby's]]''' is a large quick-service sandwich chain. In one [[IRC (18 December 2008)|IRC chat]] Chris considered Arby's as one of the possible restaurants to which he will take his first date.

== Baja Bean ==

'''Baja Bean''' is a small chain serving Mexican food. A look at their websites suggest they have only three restaurants, one of them which is in Charlottesville.<ref>[http://bajabean.com/ Baja Bean's website]</ref>

=== Appearances ===

*Chris tried to set up a meeting with [[Regina]] at that restaurant.<ref>[[Regina e-mails#Chris rambles like a motherfucker]]</ref>
*On 25 [[October 2010]] Chris mentioned that he once went to Baja Bean at Charlottesville but does not go there much anymore.<ref>[[DayOut]]</ref>

== Burger King ==
{{main|Burger King}}
Known as Hungry Jack's in Australia, Chris favors McDonald's, whereas [[Bob Chandler|Bob]] preferred its rival, Burger King. Thus, Chris usually ate here when he was out with his father.

== Chick-fil-A ==

[[Image:ChickFilA.jpg|thumb|right|Admittedly, the store might've been a [[Chris and writing|literary influence.]]]]

'''Chick-fil-A''' is a fast-food restaurant chain originating in the American South that Chris frequents, famous for its chicken sandwiches and for always being closed on Sundays (due to their founder's Christian "seventh day of rest" beliefs). Chick-fil-A is generally considered to be one of the healthier fast food options in the United States.<ref>http://health.yahoo.com/experts/eatthis/11230/americas-bestand-worstrestaurants</ref> However, Chris has mentioned it much less often than its [[Chris and health|artery-clogging]] big brother, [[McDonald's]]. The reason for this is unknown; possibilities include its lack of marketing campaigns aimed at children or an absence of foolish sweepstakes or [[My Coke Rewards|"reward programs"]]. As such, Chris has never been banned from a Chick-fil-A in an [[Sonichu 3#Sub-Episode 4: Christian Chandler in "McAttack"|epic showdown]] battling [[jerkop|jerkops]]. Even when the company came under fire for its founder's anti-[[homosexuality]] views and its involvements in "family values" movements, both of which would likely endear it to Chris, it did not seem to curry any favor with him.

===Appearances===
*Chris met up with [[Emily]] in front of the Chick-fil-A at [[Charlottesville Fashion Square]]. [[Apology to Emily|Or at least tried to by calling out to the patrons (who were undoubtedly amused and perplexed)]].

*The Fashion Square Chick-fil-A was the site of one of the missed meetings between Chris and [[Surfshack Tito]]'s agents during the drama over destroying Chris's [[PS3]].

*The [[CWCville Shopping Center]] includes a lone Chick-Fil-A on the second floor.

== Country Cookin ==

'''Country Cookin''' is [[Christian]]'s not-quite-fast-food restaurant of choice. It is a Virginia-based chain of rustic steak house/buffet and grill restaurants, akin to [[Golden Corral]], ''Roadhouse Grill'' or ''Ponderosa/Bonanza Steakhouse'' in the US, and ''Harvester'', ''Beefeater'' or ''Brewer's Fayre'' in the [[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!|United Kingdom]].

He has mentioned it on several occasions and even has taken his troll friend [[Joshua Martinez]] there.

===References by Chris===
* In an e-mail conversation with [[Anna McLerran]] from 2007, Chris mentioned his regular trips to the restaurant with Joshua.
* In [[Mumble 2]], Chris mentioned Country Cookin as one of his favorite restaurants.
* A Country Cookin branch is located in the [[CWCville Shopping Center]].

== Golden Corral ==

'''Golden Corral''' is an all-you-can-eat buffet chain, well-known in the American South and Midwest as ''the'' place to go for a maximum ratio of calories consumed to cash expended. Just don't think too much about where it all came from. During Chris's [[Emily Date Conversation Transcript|date with Emily]], [[Bob]] mentions that he had a heart attack there while paying for the family's meal.<ref>[[Emily Date Conversation Transcript#Bob's health problems revisited (0:29:59–0:32:11)]]</ref> Despite this, it was one of Chris's favorite places to eat, probably since he could [[obesity|stuff his face]] with fatty, low quality food at a [[Chris and money|low price]]. However, the Charlottesville branch went out of business in 2010<ref>http://www.dailyprogress.com/news/article_65967a91-e979-5f58-9c05-093af6241996.html</ref> and became a [[China|Chinese]] buffet.<ref>http://www.yelp.com/biz/hibachi-grill-supreme-buffet-charlottesville</ref>

===References by Chris===
*[[Caitlin]], a waitress Chris had a crush on for a day or so, worked at Golden Corral.
*In [[Mumble 2]], he mentioned that it's one of his favorite places to eat.
*Describing his ideal date spots in an [[IRC (18 December 2008)|IRC chat]], Chris proposed Golden Corral as a second-date destination.
*Chris's visits to the Corral with his family seem to be tightly scheduled. In a [[MySpace]] conversation from 04 September 2005, he noted that they'd be there from 3:30 to 4:45 the next day.
*Perhaps because of that precise schedule, or perhaps because he was simply overwhelmed by [[stress]], during his final [[BlueSpike Skype Logs 13|Skype conversation with BlueSpike]] Chris unexpectedly abandoned the conversation to take off for the Corral.
*In his profile at [[The Hook Cafe|''The HooK'' Cafe]] he lists it as his favorite restaurant.
*In a [[May 2014 Facebook Posts|May 2014 Facebook]] post, responding to news that a fire had destroyed the Chinese restaurant where the Golden Corral once stood, he angrily demanded that his favorite restaurant be rebuilt on the site.

==McDonald's==
{{main|McDonald's}}
Chris's cheap-and-easy fast food of choice. When he wanted to cut down on his Big Mac and McNugget intake, he stopped eating there... more than twice a week or so.

== Sheetz ==
Sheetz is a chain of gas station/mini-mart stores based in Pennsylvania with stores in five other states (including Virginia) in the United States. Among the chain's selling points is an array of fast food options.

===References by Chris===
*Chris ended [[Mumble 5]] by saying he needed to [[duck]] out to Sheetz to get his mother a sandwich.
*In the e-mail revealing the [[muscle bra]], Chris mentioned that he'd sought a job application at Sheetz.
*While chatting with [[Sarah May Skype Logs|Sarah May]] in February 2009, Chris noted a trip to Sheetz for gasoline.
*Attempting to defend his dietary choices in one of the [[Kacey Call 8|Kacey phone calls]], Chris claimed that he enjoyed fruit smoothies from Sheetz (which can easily crack 600 calories apiece).[[File:Nnocac.jpg|thumb|right|Note he ordered no [[pickles]]]]
*On 4 [[June 2011]], Chris told [[Jackie]] that recently he was at Sheetz with his mother, where a man approached Chris and asked him if he were a homosexual. Chris replied that he was a [[Tomgirl]].<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 28]]</ref>
*On 2 [[September 2013]], Chris wrote on [[Facebook]] that a couple of weeks earlier (presumably at August) he met [[Michael Snyder]] in [[Ruckersville]] at Sheetz and at [[McDonald's]] in the same morning. During the Sheetz encounter Snyder gave Chris the finger, while at the McDonald's encounter Snyder told Chris that he won't hurt him.<ref>[[September 2013 Facebook Posts#Offline Troll/Bully]]</ref>
*On 15 [[June 2014]], Chris gave Sheetz a [[:File:CWCreviewsSheetz.png|five star review]] on [[June 2014 Facebook Posts|Facebook]].

== Sonic ==
Sonic Drive-In is a fast food chain that Chris has eaten at in the past. It is coincidentally the same name as our autistic hero's
[[Sonic the Hedgehog|favorite video game franchise]].
===References by Chris===
* During the [[Ohio trip]], Chris dined at Sonic's, eating a hamburger with mayonnaise, and a lemonberry slushie "made from real fruit."<ref>[[Sarah May Skype Logs]]</ref>
* While not by Chris himself, at the beginning of the [[WTFIWWY Segment]], at the beginning Tara asks, after Nash says Chris has a huge obsession with ''Sonic'', "The Hedgehog? Not, like, the fast-food chain?"

Cutco

Boj: Grammar fixes

[[Image:VectorLogo.png|right|thumb|Of course it's not a pyramid scheme; just look at the logo.]]
[[Image:CutcoUltimateset.jpg|right|thumb|The knives that Chris never cut himself or anyone else with]]
[[Image:147-LightKnife.jpg|right|thumb|Wonder where the inspiration for this card came from?]]

'''Cutco''' is a company that sells overpriced medium-quality knives. [[Chris]] was employed by Cutco from June to September [[2003]], and it was the only other employer Chris has ever had besides [[Wendy's]].

==Employment==

Chris describes his background with Cutco in the [[Miyamoto Saga]] e-mails:

{{quote|One summer I was employed as a Salesman for Cutco products; the owners of the "Double-D" Edge and the Super Shears that can cut a penny to create a [[Little Pig Blanket|pig-tail]]. Lifetime Guarantee on sharpness. The boss left at Summer's end, and I lost that job. FYI, I was very cautious with my samples of cutary ''[sic]'', and I do not have any intentions of harming myself or anyone else. My record is clean.|Chris, clarifying that he is not [[You know what, I HATE ME TOO!!!|emo]]}}

Cutco, under the guise of Vector Marketing, is a notorious borderline scam.<ref>http://marketingpr.suite101.com/article.cfm/vector_marketing_is_not_a_scam</ref> While arguably not an outright scam, they will hire more or less anyone who is willing to pay [[Chris_and_money|$150]] upfront for a "demo kit" and get people to buy overpriced knife sets on commission through [[Wikipedia:Sales lead|leads]] (in other words, Chris was not going door to door). They target high schoolers and college students along with people with no real experience (such as [[Autism|autistic]] manchildren) for these "sales positions."

It is unknown if Chris was ever able to sell a knife set to any of his leads, as even people who aren't autistic, [[Obesity|corpulent]] manchildren have trouble doing so. Chris touched back on the subject on his [[CWCipedia]] entry, noting that "[my status as an employee] may have gone longer if my boss had not left [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] for good in August."<ref>http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcipedia/index.php/Private_villa_of_corrupted_citizens#Mary_Meets_Christian</ref> Chris is oblivious to the fact that his "boss" pretty much took his money and skipped town. He later told [[Vanessa Hudgens]] that his boss "got replaced."<ref>[[Vanessa AIM Chat 3]]</ref>

Chris took the Cutco job at a critical moment in his personal life, as he had realized several months earlier that he needed a girlfriend. He seems to have hoped that the job could help him with his [[Love Quest|sweetheart search]]; he remembered that it gave him the opportunity to "socialize." He believed that the job had allowed him to utilize his "good people/social skills," and he was disappointed that it "was ONLY a Summer gig." It was at this point, with a growing sense of desperation and urgency, that he made his first [[Attraction Sign]], which stated that, among his other positive qualities, he was a "Natural salesperson."

==Other mentions==
*Chris put a Cutco outlet in [[CWCville Shopping Center]].
*After Chris [[Chris Destroys His Vibrator|crushed his dildo]] on 6 [[February 2009]], he used a pair of Cutco Super Shears to cut it into pieces.<ref>[[Mumble 7]]</ref>
*Chris used a Cutco knife to make his [[Chris and fashion|"Gay Trucker" denim top]].<ref>[[Kacey Call 2]]</ref> We can assume from these two references that he may have a number of unsold Cutco knives in his possession.
