It's weirdly strange...




One of the restaurants we used to go to occasionally before Covid was Cheddars.  They have burgers, salads & general dinner-y things.  It basically tasted ok but nothing special.  

One thing they did well was onion rings.  ORs are my favorite thing in the world & I try them everywhere.  Some come out of bags like I'm sitting at Sonic so they are pre-fabbed.  But if they are hand breaded with or without a beer batter, I'm usually a fan.  

So we went one day in 2021 & they told us there were no onion rings because they were short staffed & could not batter things.  I kid you not.  So we just left...no point in paying their prices if no ORs.  When I got home I dropped them a note on their customer support sight nicely pointing out that that was a stupid policy.  I don't remember if I got a response.

So, last week, I got an email from Cheddar's customer support telling me onion rings were back!  3 years later. I then posted it on Twitter & they responded with the above picture.  It's way cool!!  I wish they'd have responded with a gift card but that was a no.  They also said their Monte Cristo which is pretty good was never off the menu but it indeed was at our restaurant because I asked.  It's a battered thing too.

My Tweet:

We used to go to #Cheddars a couple of times a year because they had great onion rings. They went away during pandemic. I'd sent an email to website in 2021 voicing disappointment. Got email today from them telling me they are back starting today. #Bumfuzzled 3 years later!
