The reality is that the bigger cities are not where everyone lives nor are they any sort of real indication of what's available in most cities and towns.
You seem to be forgetting that this is a frequent flyer forum. In the last couple weeks I ate at several decent to excellent restaurants in freaking Borneo that weren't chains. I travel a LOT including once a year to Marco Island for the last 10 years. I even found several decent places there that weren't Applebees and that is a lot smaller than Tampa.
