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.
McDonald's
- Main article: 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.
Burger King
- Main article: Burger King
Chris favors McDonald's, while Bob prefers its rival Burger King. Thus, Chris appears to usually eat here when he's out with his father.
Chick-fil-A
Chick-fil-A is a fast-food restaurant chain originating in the American south that Chris frequents, famous for its chicken sandwiches and always being closed on Sundays (due to their Christian "seventh day of rest" beliefs). Reputedly one of the most 'healthy' fast food options;[1] however, Chris has mentioned it much less often than its artery-clogging big brother, McDonald's.
Possibly its lack of marketing campaigns aimed at children and foolish sweepstakes or "reward programs" keep Chick-fil-A from maintaining the loyalty of creepy loitering manchildren. Thus, Chris has never been banned from a Chick-fil-A in an epic showdown battling jerkops.
Appearances
- Chris met up with Emily in front of the Chick-fil-A at Charlottesville Fashion Square. 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 2nd floor.
Country Cookin
Country Cookin, spelled without a "G" or an apostrophe (oh, those wacky rednecks) 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 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. It's one of Chris's favorite places to eat, probably since he can stuff his face with fatty, low quality food at a low price.
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 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 Skype conversation with BlueSpike Chris unexpectedly abandoned the conversation to take off for the Corral.
- In his profile at The Hook Cafe he lists it as his favorite restaurant.
