Semi-casual South African Portuguese style grilled chicken restaurant? Similar to Olive Garden?

Similar in that it's the same tier of casual dining. Nando's has a great story. Portuguese-born Fernando Duarte takes entrepreneur friend to a restaurant, they try chicken cooked in piri piri sauce and like it so much that they just buy the goddamn restaurant outright.

Don't forget to challenge your friends to a game of "Chug The Extra Hot Sauce". That's why they give you infinite drink refills. ultrafilter posted:Another great Nando's commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7yzDSgKNU8 A good effort, but it doesn't really get me hungry for burgers the same way all those bikini models Carl Jr ads.

Based on the handful of times I've gone to a Nando's while on vacation in London, I don't think we really have an national-chain American equivalent of that level of restaurant. The closest thing I could compare it to is some of the upper-tier not-quite-fast-food burger places, like Fuddrucker's or Five Guys, but serving healthy chicken instead of burgers and fries so with a completely different clientele and atmosphere. Like it's not fast food, you wait in line to order your food but then wait 10-15 minutes for your order, then you can either eat it there or take it home, but there's no table service or anything. Food-wise, the closest thing I can compare the chicken to is El Pollo Loco, but we only have those on the West Coast so that's not going to mean much to a lot of the US. We just don't have a lot of grilled chicken chains. ReidRansom posted:Not many though. I know there's one in DC next to Woodley Park station, but I think they're only in a couple of cities.

So the standard word for "baby" in Nigerian Pidgin English is derived from a racial slur? That's fascinating/depressing.
