Is that like putting a Taco Bell in Mexico City?
Yes
Not a bad analogy.
Similarly, PF Chang’s is a restaurant that makes relatively authentic Chinese dishes like are found in China, Taiwan or US restaurants patronized by overseas Chinese.
But PF Chang’s isn’t quite as good, has smaller portions and costs more.
We used to make fun of my buddy’s BIL who wouldn’t eat local cuisine in Mexico because it “didn’t taste like Taco Bell”
They have Taco Bell in Mexico City and other cities in Mexico. Rather amusing to see. They’re usually not so busy.
