      I got an idea to do a fun "odd menu items!" thread from every chain restaurant, just like I did with my old international McDonald's thread, but as I went through it made me realize that every American chain restaurant... Basically has the exact same menu. And I got depressed

      On one level I get it. These are restaurants designed to fit the mood of individuals within a family, regardless of what everyone wants. It's a product of brutal utilitarianism.

      But seeing the sameish pictures of mozzarella sticks, wings, quesadillas, salads, burgers, chicken sandwiches, steaks, chops, pastas, salmon, and chocolate cake just... Again, it honestly just made me depressed.

      The only distinctions among them are slight differences in quality and kooky naming conventions. There are barely even specialties anymore. But this is what exists everywhere. This is the menu of modern Americana.

      Some would argue this is a classist argument, I assure you it's the opposite. You can get cheaper, more delicious food all over if you know where to look for it (especially if you're adventurous). What we're seeing this byproduct of corporate domination.

      To use that term again, these places are brutally convenient. They are safe and known quantities. I can defer to them like anyone else. But as a result, they can punch and push every mom and pop roadside to the curb in seconds.

      To be clear, I'm not telling you anything you don't know, already. Of course we all know. It's just that as I combed through every menu looking for distinction, the sameness felt so incredibly suffocating. And sometimes it's important to see the forest.

          Maybe it's my european experience, but I personally try to never ever eat in chain restaurants. There are unavoidable cases where there is single chain restaurant in small town with no other option but still

          I felt similarly upset that a fancy hotel I like would have special regional cocktails, uniquely named & local flavors. Then that menu went away... same drinks everywhere. So I wouldn't search out the bar when I traveled. I used to love seeing what a Boston cocktail was to them.

          Living in Korea and seeing the American restaurants they have here just drives the points in this thread home more. It’s kind of embarrassing how poorly we export our food culture abroad.
