Should Chiles and Applebees and Olive Garden branch out to Europe?

Not really. I don't think there would be all that much market for any of them - especially not here in Italy. I might go to a Chilis occassionally if one were here because barbecue ribs are something that aren't so common here. But I'd much rather see a Red, Hot %26amp; Blue or Smokey Bones for that. As it is, I can get excellent ribs at De Nachtwacht in Rembrandtplein in Amsterdam or in Scandinavia.Should Chiles and Applebees and Olive Garden branch out to Europe?
Red, Hot %26amp; Blue and Smokey Bones are in the US - you can find the locations on their websites. De Nachtwacht isn't a chain, but their Caribbean Ribs are excellent, but a huge portion. The lobster soup with cognac there is also top notch.

Should Chiles and Applebees and Olive Garden branch out to Europe?
The olive garden - no, because I don't think there'd be a market for Italian/American food. That would be like opening a Chevy's in Mexico. It isn't what they'd expect. Chili's and Applebees maybe if they focus on bar-b-que and the diner experience.
I mean...as an American, if I was visiting Europe, the last place I'd want to eat is a generic chain restaurant. But I guess it could be different if you're European.Should Chiles and Applebees and Olive Garden branch out to Europe?
They could not compete. America is at a disadvantage in the cooking game. We gotta one hell of a Military and Space Program to make up for that though
There are already applebees in Europe, as well as other countries.Should Chiles and Applebees and Olive Garden branch out to Europe?
