chinese take out: It's like everywhere I go in any state, there's like so many chinese food restaurants. In 1 street, here in NJ, there is like 1 chinese take out on the left side of the street and another chinese take out, on the other side of the street. Why are there so many and less Japanese, Korean, etc?|||Same in London, also with Indian takeaways. Its because many Chinese are proud of their cooking and have potential to make a successful business out of it...so they do. It's a common practise among them. And its obviously very popular cuisine, so why stop if the money is coming in? Multicultural areas have more variety of restaurants too, which contributes. Enjoy your Chinese food.|||so, um.. again, how many states have you been in? apparently you've not been to mine where every other storefront it's italian. yeh, until you've done some actual traveling.... don't go on about how it's all that, when it's not. (on my street... it's all wine and seafood joints... how about that one uhummm?) and in NOVA there's not one chili joint to salvage my rectum muscles.. then when i ask for it they go "are you from up north". any town that doesn't have bbq or chili... is a bankrupt town... and i hate oysters from everywhere but the Chesapeake.... sorry dears... new england isn't oyster central.. those things are microscopic! and give me sashimi! (now that's good jap cuisine!) and other places i used to reside it was peruvian foods to salvadorian and iranian..... heh, so far you'[ve only mentioned ONE state and that doesn't count.|||Most of the Japanese or Korean restaurants I've seen are trying to be trendy and expensive. Whereas Chinese places seem to be able to offer a selection of exotic Asian cuisine that's both delicious and affordable.|||Because Americans enjoy cheap, plentiful heaps of food loaded with preservatives. This is straight from the Burning Bush.
