    IDK where you went, but saying the west coast is all chain food is absolutely bizarre to me.

    A quick search shows a PBS article where researchers found the southern US and Republican states as a whole have a higher % of chain restaurants, as opposed to more left leaning states where people tend to be more concerned with what they’re eating.

      I lived there for 20 years. I went everywhere.

      E: why the downvotes? I’ve literally been in every State, and have been all over the entire state of California, from Mono to Crescent City to Blythe. I was there twice last month and I’ll go back again soon. Compared to where I’ve lived like Boston and NYC CA is full of chain restaurants. Not as bad as TX or the South. Y’all need to get out more.

          My friend, the number one thing I eat when I go back to CA is the Mexican food. Y’got me there. CA has huge indy owned Mex food. “My man” loves the taquerias and every other hole in the wall Mexican joint. Just went to El Cholo in L.A. two days ago.
