Why No Bob Evans DC?
December 16th, 2008I just saw a commercial for “Bob Evans Deep Dish Dinners” where fried chicken chunks, gravy, and cheese fall out of the sky into a bowl of mashed potatoes and (apparently) another kind of gravy. A hilarious indictment of existence itself, starting at only $5.99.
I think it’s great when the TV has ads for places that I can’t actually get to, like Shoney’s1 and Wawa2, and especially Sonic3. It used to be that way with Checkers, too. There seem to be a reasonable number of Checkerses around now, they just haven’t migrated west of North Capitol4 yet.
As for Bob Evans, it’s almost like the Beltway is a force field keeping them out:
