I don't want to start a new thread, so I'll put this here.
A HS friend of mine has been in the food business for years. He's been a chef, food broker, fish monger, etc. He knows the food/restaurant industry inside and out.
I read an article this morning about the big boys setting up small "mom and pop" restaurants around the country to take advantage of the farm to table concept. He said it's absolutely true and has been going on for a while.
So, the next time you find that awesome little spot that has great food... it might be from the minds of McDonald's, Taco Bell, etc.
That's crazy!
