With so many great local non chain restaurants out there, why would you fly that far only to eat what you can at home? Chains that are not local are an exception. IE: In N Out is not anywhere close to where I live so I'll make that exception.

Part of traveling for me is trying something new and different. Example: I tried shark while in the Bahamas. I'm not going to find that at home.
