This food category seems to be the Lowest Common Denominator that commercial foods turn to. DH used to work in DC and enjoyed all kinds of great Chinese restaurants. The tiny ones here have all the food Corporatized in exactly the same way you describe.
But we don't have much in the way of franchises, either, so the local restaurants do use local ingredients, and have an actual chef. Our favorite place doesn't even have a deep fryer, and the food is all the better for it! |
