This has only happened at one restaurant for me up here ( no other white person ) as it's almost impossible ( over 90% white ) - but it has happened twice.

I laughed. Why?
Because this morning I am planning on going to a deli where the majority of people dining in it will be White Jews. You guys walk in there, you would be a minority.

Being more serious, one of the nice things about living where I do, I can go about 5 miles in 3 different directions and go to at least 250 decent if not good or great "ethnic" restaurants in which as a Caucasian I would definitely be in the minority of patrons. Often but definitely not always, that will indeed translate to being a legit place to dine - for whatever type of food they are serving.

P.S. Assuming 99 was referring to the chain, I think Pollo Campero should reach to 99 and give him some royalties for his mentioning them on the Top 3 in your city thread.
I would have bet $100 it wouldn't have been mentioned on this thread - ever.

Which brings me to.......
What is a Top 3 in your city that is a chain and most people wouldn't put on their top 3 in your city list?

cost and convenience make this spot one of our favorites…not sure if they’d be top 3 as far as quality though, generally. their salads can be quite good when made well

Kraft Mac and Cheese powder.

I had no idea that was a chain. If all their locations are that good, more power to them.

I was surprised to see fish list it as a "chain" too, but he's a smart guy and I'm afraid to cross him. I think there used to be 2 or 3 in KC. Now, it looks like there's only the one up north on the frontage road on the west side of I-29 on the way to the airport, south of Barry Rd.

I lived up north, and ate there more times than I'd care to admit.

But I never saw fish's wife there...

I wish we had decent fake Tex-Mex like in-a-tub here in Central Texas. Heh. Spoiled for choice. Even La Cabana is pretty good. And it is bottom tier.

You know, you may have.

Yes, there used to be a small handful of them.

Maybe so. Does she happen to have any distinctive tattoos or exotic piercings I might remember her by?

Sitting here prepping bruschetta with tomatoes, basil, garlic from my garden, toasting up a baguette and about to grub!

Honestly, my favorite business in Lawrence.

Wheatfields is great.
Haven't had a sandwich there in a long while but they used to make very good ones.
