More people with disposable incomes and less time to cook + a large workforce of young adults looking for a part time job = more restaurants and (on average) better food.
- thaumasiotes 11y ago> the poster is not wrong to point out that college towns often have better/more authentic food (both American and not) But he is wrong to say that "authentic" food is superior to Americanized food. Vendors in America Americanize their food for reasons of audience demand (for example, I hate biting into meat and getting a big chunk of bone) -- and I don't believe he's actually aware of which aspects of the food are "authentic" and which are Americanized. A greater variety of dishes offered doesn't mean those dishes are prepared the way they would be at home.
