Yes. And fortunately, I don't think my city has a single restaurant of the Chili's, Applebees, Houlihans, or other middle-America dreck variety. There is a place that looks like it was an International House of Pancakes a few decades ago (long before they were called IHOP). I don't even think there's a Denny's. The next town has a Sizzler and the one after has a Macaroni Grill. But my little hamlet, home of some of the best food in the USA (at all price points), has been spared. ^
