Oh, no! Poor Butters!

Have you ever been to Bennigan's, Mister? Oh, it sure is great. I'm goin' to Bennigan's tomorrow night with my family. Oh, I can just see it now. We'll walk in the front doors, and the nice Bennigan's hostess lady will take us to our cozy booth, and then we'll order some mozzarella sticks for appetizers. Dad will open his present, and Mom will open hers, uh then the Bennigan's wait staff will sing:

Happy Happy Anniversary from everyone at Bennigan's
Happy Happy Anniversary-eh from everyone at Bennigan's
Happy Happy Anniversary from everyone at Bennigan's
Happy Ha... whoa, are we stoppin' for sodas? Hey, can I have chocolate milk?

The Bennigan's restaurant chain has closed after its parent company files for bankruptcy. That's, like, every single restaurant in the chain, closed and locked up.

I'm not sure how much of a tear I can shed for a chain restaurant with food like every other chain restaurant of its ilk, but man, every restaurant just closing up like that is harsh.

Dang. We used to go to the one quite a bit near Great America. Now we'll have to find some other collection-full American-type theme restaurant to go to.
