Ruby Tuesday Punks Us All, Blows Up Wrong Restaurant

I love Ruby Tuesdays. They are one of the few chain restaurants that don't freeze your precook their meats. Everything on their menu tastes great. What is the story with them blowing up Cheeky's? Were they in on this?

I worked at a RT as a line cook. Their food is pathetic. All of their steaks and burgers come in frozen, individually "cryovac"ed in plastic. The burgers are pink and void of any moisture what so ever. Even the rice comes pre-prepared in a plastic poach and nuked. The mashed potatoes and soup also come in bags and reheated in a pot of boiling water. All the seafood comes in frozen and ran thru a conveyor type mini-pizza oven. Bassicly, you're buying a TV dinner. Even all the salads come in in bags. UGH. I quit when I decided to return to a cooking job, rather than be a professional re-heater.

I laughed my frickin' head off, but then again... I'm in marketing and advertising. What's funny to me, as a professional... may not be funny to anyone else. We're the twits that laugh at our own jokes, and think we're geniuses. Hardly. ;-)

Now they are using this as the basis for a TV ad campaign. I work in advertising, and am usually all in favor of anything a little bit different. But I'm also an ex-New Yorker who knew people who died in 9/11. So maybe this sounds over-sensitive, but given that event, and fatal bombings that take place on a fairly regular basis on Europe and The Middle East, are buildings being blown up "by accident": really such a big yuk?

Aw, seriously you guys? I though was pretty awesome, actually. I mean, at least they blew SOMETHING up.

Sounds like a "had to be there" type of thing, which doesn't work very well for a national marketing campaign. I imagine if you're standing there watching the Ruby Tuesday's waiting for it to blow and the restaurant across the street goes up in smoke you'd be effectively suprised. But in print, it's boring.

This must be one of the worst marketing ideas EVER! I'll up Adam's comment and call it TRIPLE PRIME LAME!
