  I think it's actually the opposite, ignorance is why people go to chains. They eat their steak well done because they've never had a good steak. Most chains like Applebees are using a lot of Chef Mike (the microwave).

    Yeah, you just don't know what real food tastes like! Stop liking things I don't like, you can only like things outside your means!

    > ignorance is why people go to chains Trader Joe’s is a chain. What are people ignorant of when they shop there? Chain doesn’t mean “bland”. It means “repeatable”.

  It -is- snobbery, but the reverse of what you are thinking. Someone who grew up only knowing about Velveeta, and never experiencing a French fromagerie might think, "Hey, I like this but it seems there's more to the world than Velveeta, I wonder what those thousands of other cheese are like." But instead of curiosity, many turn into this insane Trumpy parody like "Velveeta is the greatest cheese god and america ever created and all other cheese is evil commie propaganda!" bullshit. Its like they have to build their identity on the virtue of being proudly ignorant snobs and then accuse people that call them on it for being educated snobs. No skin off my back, but try to consider the breadth of what is going on here.
