That is what I think.

Plus...lots of people don't like Asian food.
Sorry, Graciegirl...you say thrifty, I say cheap. I don't know how picky folks here are if they think that Panera makes a great bagel, or if Red Sauce or the Italian restaurant in Spanish Springs (forgot the name) are "authentic" in any way. There are no good ethnic restaurants here. Period. Perhaps potential restaurant people are discouraged from opening in TV because of the kickback (for lack of a better word) to the developer.

There's always hope that areas outside of TV compound will welcome ethnic restaurants and find an appreciative audience.
