Out of curiosity, do you still go there sometimes?
Emotional associations with food/places are powerful things. One of the reasons it's a bad idea to insult people's tastes--you never know whether you're really insulting their memories.
I'd probably still go to Shakey's Pizza if there was still such a thing around here just because of the childhood associations..
