There's a distinction between "not very good restaurants" and "not very authentic Chinese food" that is being lost here. And a lot of those non-chain restaurants are still staffed by people who work very hard to make a living, even if it means altering their cuisine to suit local tastes. Let's be clear - the debate isn't that there aren't any bad Chinese restaurants in the Midwest, the issue is that Zimmern was really condescending and insensitive in his criticism as a wealthy, white outsider attacking working class Asian small business owners.

I agree! My point was just that you can't reduce it to chains vs non-chains here, as though chains are the only bad Chinese restaurants. What Zimmern said was very very dumb,
