I’ll stick with Cracker Barrel. Cheap tasty pleasant atmosphere and fast.
These are all ethnic restaurants operated by young people. Up and comers.They are in about 15 different states and cities.
Restaurants are hurting these days. With Trump-47 this dire situation should improve.
LA had in my travel days good but in my opinion not great restaurants.
One exception was a Middle Eastern food place south of UCLA.
You ordered a plate with a little of this, a little of that, etc.
It took well over an hour to get it all down.
There was a place in eastern downtown San Diego that had excellent wonton soup.
In San Francisco I happened to hit a Chinese place in Chinatown (more jewelry stores than restaurants) closing up for the night. Clean that tray,....Yum!
In the San Francisco area, I typically overnighted in Newark, CA, a bedroom community for Silicon Valley. It had a lot of promising restaurants I never got around to eating at.
what are places out of touch elites eat, Alex.
Pizza Ranch...best fried chicken ever.
Waffle House is hard to beat.
Enough Mexican joints. They are everywhere and serve up the same glop in every one of them.
