    Is that good? Bad? Has it changed over time? Is it something to have expected statistically or an intriguing insight?

    Oh…um…Orangeman bad, of course. But…just curious about the analytical aspect, itself, within the observation.Conl

      There are 44,558 Chinese restaurants in the U.S.

      If you count the “top 5” fast food chains by number of locations, the bad man is wrong. Just the top 3 are enough to outnumber Chinese restaurants. If you go by revenue, and include the two big coffee chains, the bad man is wrong. Leaving out the two big coffee chains and counting by revenue, the bad man is right. Subway has lots of locations, but is well down the list for revenue. Starbucks and Dunkin have lots of locations.

      Subway 20,052

      McDonalds 13,836

      Starbucks 16,622

      Dunkin Donuts 9,931

      Taco Bell, 8,240

      Wendy’s 5,790

      Chick-fil-a 3,415

          Anonymous: They are, however, categorized as “limited service restaurants” by the BLS, and the category is typically associated with “fast food”.

    We travel (camping) all over the USA. The best range and quality of Chinese food is in Huntsville, AL.
