but not a chain restaurant (Bob Evans, Cracker Barrel etc)
Trust me, the chain food here isn't much better. But it gives me pointers for the *kind* of thing I'm actually looking for - fast, cheap, easy, relatively decent (when not made en masse in advance) food. I want to expand my cooking repertoire, and I'm a lot more likely to learn how to do scotch eggs and croque madame, etc., than I am celebrity or higher-end foods.
Knowing what kind of word to search for - cafe, carinderia, bistro - gives me the direction to search.
Watching the Brit side of the discussion evolve is a bit like watching Americans draw the lines between truck stop, diner, and steakhouse... but in the end, it just gives me three new terms to search, y'know?
If I get 12 terms, I'll pick one per month next year. :D
