Great Restaurants

I have dined and wined here for many years, and I have seen many restaurants take flight. I also have seen many restaurants that I love start vanishing before my very own eyes. I am a married man with two kids going through school, and I don't know about you, but since I'm staying in EC for a while I don't want it over ran by chains. I don't get why people chose a fast food chain over a wonderful local place, many are just as casual and same price! Oh yeah they also help out our economy!  What I am trying to say is – why do people give money to a bad grade of meat at Outback or for frozen packaged noodles at Olive Garden, when they could eat at two of Eau Claire's best restaurants: Sweetwater's (Steaks/everything), Drags (Pasta, real cooked GARLIC)! Just to name a few (my favorite), but if we keep venturing out to these over marketed places to eat, we will lose the already wonderful places we have!
