- SwellJoe 17y agoNo one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. - Mencken
- jamesbritt 17y agoHow does that quip apply here? The folks running P.F Chang's seem smart enough to have a formula that works. Do you think people who like P.F. Chang's are dopey?
- SwellJoe 17y agoDo you think people who like P.F. Chang's are dopey? Yes. I thought that would be obvious to anyone of reasonable intelligence who has eaten at P.F. Chang's. Simply horrible food.
- menloparkbum 17y agoI want to agree with this but I've met dozens of really genius people who only like "mall food." Especially in science and engineering. The wizardly EECS PhD who only eats out at the Cheesecake Factory was a total cliche when I lived in Cambridge.
- SwellJoe 17y agoI guess taste and intelligence are not necessarily the same thing.
- jamesbritt 17y agoOne is easier to measure.
- jamesbritt 17y ago" Simply horrible food." I find it good enough for various circumstances. Maybe I'm dopey. Besides, people go to restaurants for all sorts of reasons, food being but one.
