this can't be fucking true can it? v. Chinese Restaruants

some guy on history channel just said "Today in America, there are more chinese restaurants than Burger Kings, Mcdonalds, and KFC combined"

 

i wouldn't doubt it. i know a few tex-mex restaurants owned and run by chinese

 

It certainly seems that way here in Canada. But I love chinese food so I don't mind one bit.

 

That sounds about right, theres 4 or 5 in my town at least. But for the most part I prefer their food to any fast food chains, but I am pretty careful to try and find one serving high quality food.

 

I just goggled it out of curiosity.

40,000 or so Mcdonalds.

11,000 or so Burger Kings. 14,000 or so KFC's.

There are apparently 18,000 towns and cities.

So if each town has 4 Chinese restaurant's it beat's that combined total.

Houston has over 100 I'm sure. I have no idea what the standard is per town. I'm sure they're probably counting some super buffets as Chinese. Of course that also is considering you're counting mcdonalds as hamburgers.

Happy Valentines Day!

 

of course its true... people will pay alot more for good chinese food than some gross mcdonalds and burger king

 

I know for me it is true. There are 4 Chinese places here and Subway is the one and only fast food place.

 

No pizza?

 

Not fast food pizza... we have some local gourmet pizza places though. They definitely aren't fast.

 

whats the difference. Its all dog food anyways.. Wait, I wouldnt even feed this so called food to a dog.

 

About 40,000 In My Small Country Town, And 11 Chinese Restaruants...



Cheers Glen.

 

40,000 that would nearly be a sity here

Im in quite a large town and we have 5,000pop

And two chinky houses (no racism implied) we also have 2 kebab places and a few chippers.

 

40,000 seems huge to me...

IMO there is a huge difference between things like burger king and Chinese restaurants.

 

if you want to count habachi san and panda express. but then i still have a hard time believing anyone actually eats at macdonalds because they want to.

 

That's not a large town. That's hardly a village.

 

Not in Ireland

 

google informs me that "town" and "city" are not clearly defined and usage may vary widely between location, government type, and just what people like to call it. but, it seems like 10,000 is a pretty popular cutoff between the two based on what i've found.

that's irrelevant considering most chinese restaurants i've seen have shitty cheap food and are dirty as fuck and most fast food places are actually pretty clean.


also, along the lines of the original subject, i remember that at least as of about 10 years ago, there were more than twice as many country radio stations than whatever the second most popular format was.

I believe it

In my town once a chinese restaurant fails it never just goes away; someone puts up a new sign
and suddenly its open for business again under new management

My town of circa 14,000 has:

1 Mcdonalds
1 Dairy Queen
2 Dunkin Donuts
3 Chinese places

also about 6 or 7 pizza places and like 9 package stores
