I might be missing a few places, but we covered a lot in 4 days.

I don't know what you mean by greater Los Angeles. And you must have been taking side streets if you could not find a chain eatery.

I mean, greater Los Angeles area. Pull out a map, and look the cities I named off. I covered quite a bit of geography toots.

If you call Sepulveda, and Santa Monica side streets (as examples) then yeah...

I also did not say, "I could not find any chains", I said the chains I saw a lot of (Taco Bell/Pizza Hut).

Furthermore, I said I did not see them in numbers like I see here, or in other big cities. I saw more mom and pops then chains.

However, I admitted seeing more as I went into Orange County. But still not on the volume I would see in some other big cities.

I just do not get why you would want chains, or did you?
I understand they are familiar and shit but I also feel they are one of the worst things to happen to American food culture ever, even above and beyond TV dinners.

Good point.

It isn't that I wanted chains, or didn't. I was simply making an observation on things I saw around L.A., and the areas I was in, versus some of the other places I have visited.

i.e. less chains, more mom n pops with a lettering system.

the last time i was out in LA (for the GFY party at the Playboy Mansion in November which was a great party) I decided that I actually HATE LA. seriously, and that's coming from someone that has preached about California being the best to live since he was 6.

i no longer consider Los Angeles part of California.
