Profitability and quality arent the same. Theres restaurants that make money but arent good in every country. Im not sure why you think it would be different in the states. Ive certainly not been blown away by the quality of the food whenever Ive been there.
The example I was thinking of though, was pho.
Its everywhere here, and while some are certainly better than others, Id say Ive never had one here that was below a 7/10 and its easy enough to get. 10/10. Eating the dish abroad in a number of different countries, its very rare to get one that is as high in my estimation as the base level for here.
Of course, its all subjective to a large degree.
There is a strong correlation between profitability and quality unless we're talking fast food in which case the product is not the food itself but the convenience.
In order for something to sell well, especially in these unprecedented times of inflation, it needs to be good. I did a brief stint in Laos and yeah good pho, was all around, but nothing there tasted like something I couldn't get in Westminster. I have to admit my bias as I grew up in a cultural melting pot with plenty of 1st gen immigrants. Let me refrain my point. It's not the place that matters, it's the people.
Mans has never been to Westminster.
