Your list sounds remarkably similar to both the way I was raised, and the way we did it with our children.
The one addition I would make to your list is the purely local restaurant, that's probably on a par with Denny's et al although with
much better food.
I'm thinking of the wonderful Mexican restaurant we had in the little town in west Texas whose nachos I still lust for.

No, please don't. This thread has been remarkably civil and thoughtful unlike other threads that relate to children that too often go the sadly slogan-slinging route.
Many kudos to the original poster for setting the tone and continuing to do so too! ^
