Nor do I but, but in my small hometown in Ohio that I escaped from a number of years ago, that's eating high on the hog for many people... might even be their special monthly night out. Then again almost everyone I knew during high school who still lives there is now grossly overweight supporting your unhealthy statement.
Frankly I despise all of those chain restaurants in the US in that similar teir. Everything is ridiculously over sauced and over spiced to cover the otherwise drab to rancid taste. When I do go back to my hometown I usually eat at someone's home or a local restaurant. I'm sure the local joints aren't terribly healthy but at least I don't feel like I'm getting ripped off either... oh and no false waits. In larger cities I prefer something ethnic.
