Still, not once has the United Nations passed a resolution to fund the building of TGI Fridays franchises in South Asia or sub-Saharan Africa, where nearly everyone lacks access to warm, inviting restaurants with vibrant Americana-themed decor [1] https://www.theonion.com/tgi-fridays-is-a-human-right-182535...
Lol! They jest, but TGIF was literally my main reference for "America" before I visited for the first time. They do a better job propagandizing than VoA for sure.
They had a TGI Fridays on the US military bases in Afghanistan.
The fast casual restaurant chain still exists, and is definitely still cartoonishly embellished with Americana, and surprisingly decent food for what it is.
