As far as strip malls are concerned, I used to be snobbish like that but in the last couple of years I have found that some of the best restaurants I have gone to have been in strip malls. No more paying for a view if I can get better elsewhere.

I have nothing against strip mall joints per se - one of my favorite seafood and chop houses in Las Vegas "was" just such a place - Alan Albert's, which I was sadly informed recently closed.
My wife would usually order a 2 lb Maine Lobster, I would get a large cut Prime Rib, and we both ordered a twice baked sour cream potato, and Caesar's salad.
Foodgasm...great wine list, plus the decor was straight out of the Rat Pack.
I shall miss that place...
