Bennigan's

1976–2008

Potato skins in the Irish-pub booth.

The green-and-brass Irish-pub casual chain where the loaded potato skins, the powdered-sugar Monte Cristo, and a booth full of antique clutter on the walls were the whole point. Happy hour, big burgers, and servers with flair pins. Its parent company's abrupt 2008 bankruptcy shut the corporate restaurants almost overnight.
