That's the beginning and end of that conversation, as far as I'm concerned.

They can't replace a Vietnamese or Korean family-run joint that brings together the community members, has postings on the bulletin board of cultural events, tries variations of the menu, etc. And no matter how hard McDos, Wendys, and others reinvent themselves, become more "artisan" redesign their dining rooms and menus, they are still the same.

The thing is James, places that you mentioned like Blaze artfully not going after the same market share that the majority of the pizza places are looking towards. They have a place in the marketplace for people who want a quick meal, usually at lunchtime. These people don't have the time to wait for service at Coals, DiOrios etc. for some meals. I'm assuming, maybe wrongly so, that they would prefer other places but time just does not allow them that luxury. There are many niches in the food industry, not only for types of food but also for types of service.
