2. takes
3. choose
4. cheaper
5. friendliest
6. bigger
7. better
8. worst

【分析】
首先通读短文，理解短文对比Carol餐厅和Lenny餐厅的核心内容。再逐个分析每个空：1. 根据前文“餐厅不在城镇繁忙区”，结合固定搭配be close to（离……近），确定填原级；2. 考查固定句型It takes sb +时间+to do sth，结合主语和时态确定动词形式；3. 结合语境“选择去Lenny's吃饭”，确定动词原形；4. 由than和“节省钱”的提示，确定用形容词比较级；5. 由in town（多者范围）和前文的比较级提示，确定用形容词最高级；6. 修饰hamburgers，结合语境确定形容词比较级；7. 修饰salad，由than确定形容词比较级；8. 由“不要在Lenny's吃披萨”的提示，确定形容词最高级。
【解析】
1. 固定搭配be close to表示“离……近”，结合前文餐厅位置的描述，此处填close；
2. 固定句型It takes sb +时间+to do sth表示“做某事花费某人多少时间”，主语it为第三人称单数，一般现在时，故填takes；
3. 结合语境“我的朋友和我经常选择去Lenny's吃饭”，主语为复数，一般现在时，故填动词原形choose；
4. 由than和“save money（节省钱）”可知，此处表示“更便宜”，用cheap的比较级cheaper；
5. 由“in town（城镇范围内，多者对比）”和前文“friendlier”的提示，此处用friendly的最高级friendliest；
6. 修饰hamburgers，结合语境表示“更大的汉堡”，用big的比较级bigger；
7. 修饰salad，由than可知，用good的比较级better；
8. 由“never have pizzas at Lenny's”可知，此处表示“最差的披萨”，用bad的最高级worst。
