And what does he mean about mid-market chains in France? There aren't any. The only thing close might be Hippo but I rate them lower than a TGIF.
Stimpy, for shame! There are Flunch, Melodine (both same owner), the lunchstands in Lafayette Gourment (great!), the Crespi restaurants (La Pizza) and dozens more. France also has excellent Routiers, most of which are parts of chains. Just because they're chains does not mean one must accept US prefabricated food. We do not want to talk of Quick and the other French McDonds imitations because there are so many McDo with decent beer to be had in France, all with the genuine US stale grease smells.
