Just yesterday, one of those Fools, nrandleman, highlighted BJ's as a particularly tasty bargain opportunity:
Just seems too good to pass up below $32/share. I have always been a fan of BJ's as a restaurant to eat at. From a business perspective I love the fact they have no debt and expand slowly into the same area to build a brand vs scattering locations all over the US.
