    The Asian food is way better than the Euro crap anyway.

        My tip for all you poisoned ones is always eat at busy restaurants. This principle has served me well all around the world with all kinds of food.

        High customer volume usually means the food is good and fresh

          Wow. A good tip from AH.
          I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                Though the quality of the chains has improved, it's still a shame that the chains are everywhere.
                Franchise operations are actually pushing other restaurants out of the market. The logic being that since they are "individually owned", they qualify for small business loans and incentives, even though the franchise operations themselves are mostly controlled by large corporations.

                It's easier to get someone to open a franchise than to start a whole new retaurant because the big chains offer a lot of startup assistance, training, and advice, plus the built-in advantage of the brand name. As time goes by, it's getting harder for independants to enter this market. As old restaurants close, franchises replace them.

                My favorite restaurants are all holes in the wall run by immigrants. They are the cheapest and offer the best food.
                My favortite place is a hole in the wall diner by my place. It looks like it hasn't been redecorated since 1965, but the food is great and I get a huge meal for about five bucks. The menu changes everyday too, which I like.

                Never feel sick after I eat there, either.
