I took my business elsewhere, once the stories of deteriorating food quality started turning up (after a major corporate takeover).

Now, every time a big company acquires a restaurant, I see "I hope to hell it doesn't ruin the food like it did with Whataburger" comments online. Damn shame; Whataburger used to be worthwhile.
