Re: Why won't you EVER eat at a certain restaurant or franchise?

[(Anonymous)]

In my experience (at least, outside of Hawaii), a community in the US actually has to be of a certain size before you even get a chain Asian restaurant, even on the order of Panda Express. I travel a lot to Midwestern small towns and rural areas for my job and I've been to a lot of tiny towns where there was exactly one Asian restaurant (and many more where there are none) and it was inevitably an independent, mostly-Chinese mom and pop place (usually a buffet) where "Mom" and "Pop" were Asian, and the the food was heavily Americanized and usually rather awful. Non-chain is not necessarily an indicator of quality (for any kind of cuisine, I have to say). These places tend to get a lot of business, though, so when the locals travel to places with better restaurants, they have no basis for comparison and aren't necessarily going to wind up somewhere good.

I'm always trying to hit upon one of those hidden gems, like they visit on the Food Network, where you go to some one-stoplight town and there's the best restaurant ever, but I rarely succeed.

Yup. I moved to a small town in high school and there was only one Chinese restaurant. It was independently owned and the food was very Americanized. For being an American Chinese restaurant it was OK, but it was all we had aside from fast food burger places.
