I can only say that what you describe has not been the norm for Knowlwood.

The restaurant was around the 80s which alarmed me for sanitation and bacterial growth. The employee who took our order didn't know what half the items were that we tried to order. The employees were mumbling something back and forth to each other about trying to useHappySlothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843296433269646919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32801812.post-41898792855395473552007-03-26T17:04:00.000-07:002007-03-26T17:04:00.000-07:00Anita,The burgers are good, but they're definitely...Anita,<BR/><BR/>The burgers are good, but they're definitely not the "world's best". We just like them better than most of the other burger options available to us in Irvine.

The catering company that served us food was replaced a few years ago. Maybe "Premium Night" has actually gotten better. =b<BR/><BR/>Simcooks,<BR/><BR/>Awww... I think In-N-Out is much better. They treat their employees well and the food quality is higher.<BR/><BR/>- ChubbypandaChubbypandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12930326230203564199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32801812.post-83756891203029138822007-03-19T18:45:00.000-07:002007-03-19T18:45:00.000-07:00I like in-and-out burgers too!

Also I don't remember the Frisco burgers being offered at Pippin Commons for Premium Night...I guess I had a tunnel vision for those Chicken Strips and overcooked steaks. And then on Friday night, they put out the worst food they have all week. Man, Fridays were depressing.elmomonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102068612919963395noreply@blogger.com
