No argument here. But you actually need a nearby neighborhood full of the people who will actually support such a business. That's not necessarily common for a whole lot of suburbs.

These are hard facts. It's improving here. We finally figured out what tacos actually are and places have been popping up. But the lines are too damn long at the few places we have still.

I used to complain about the 150 Chinese food places that delivered to us because it seems like you have to ask for your food super spicy to get it the way it should be (or go with an actual Chinese person and get the real menu that only they can read). Of course it also depends on which region in China the restaurant focuses on. But I soon swallowed my complaints after eating Chinese elsewhere. You people are deprived, even of the good Chinese dishes created for Americans.
But we got a Sichuan place near us recently that is just ridiculous. I shovel their dishes into my mouth while sweating from the spice levels. So damn good.
