If Italian food is as good as people say how come they have 0

Only anglos are thinking of it as a business idea. I have never seen any food chain that's not from Japan or an anglo country

>>68544777
Because fast food is trash. Also Italian cuisine kind of needs time to cook.

you must be new. spics and assorted beaners are always been like this.. they are totally assdevastated about italy. the inferiority complex is huge. funny because in europe nobody cares about beanerland.

Italian food is too good to cook "fast". But here we have a chain called Sbarros that sells pizza and small italian dishes. Its pretty disgusting actually, basically airport/mall food court food.

Simply we don't need fast foods other than Mcdonald's and Burger King, really, we didn't have KFC and Starbucks since last year, the same goes for Subway.

In Italy there are restaurant chains who aim at a "premium" experience over Mcdonalds ecc, I'm talking about Roadhouse Grill (Steakhouse), Old Wild West (basically a premium McDonald + some steaks but it's shit nowadays), America Graffiti (god like) and so.

We prefer to create our brands and if you can't have access to a fast food / slow food chain you can find billions of places where you can eat exquisite food.

You just have to search for them, the magic place that does for you.

Everything cheaper than that is pure shit and McDonald's tier, so if they ask me 10€ for a quality hamburger - a big one - which is 10x times better than a McShit, for me it's cheap.

It's been years since the last time I went to McDonalds but if I'm correct a McChicken menu, the large one, is 8-9€...so it's not that far and at least you eat real meat like pic related.

Where are you from anon?

Italian food is shit. Went to a restaurant in Berlin, and the pizza bread was very thin and could nit even be cut. The staff were rude aswell

Overpriced is not the same thing as expensive though, 10€ for a quality hamburger is fine but i don't think they make quality hamburgers, then again i only tried a couple of them

The idea at the base of Eataly is nice and strong, nothing to say, the only problem is that you're giving money to mafious people...so I prefer to buy the same products they offer from different suppliers.

I bought from them 1 time in my life and only because they had free shipment > 30€ and I bought 1 Baladin Beer and 2 Baladin panettone alla birra.

I take it a lot of Italian restaurants are family businesses and turning it into a chain would be retarded. Why do people think that more capitalism = better quality?

I'm from Milan and honestly I'm tired of the same panettone and pandoro every year, also in my family at christmas (we are like 10 people eating at christmas lunch) we have all sort of shit included panettone bought from pastry and I don't give a shit because to me they all taste somewhat alike.

This time I wanted to try the Baladin panettone alla birra because it's different, so if you wait 13 days I'll let you know if it's good or not.

>>68551433
why do all Italian American names sound made up?

I mean even the article in Buca de Beppo is wrong.

>>68551543

All panettoni are the same, it's a meme that here in Milan it's a traditional christmas sweet...it's from Milan but I'LL TELL YOU HWAT, most of the panettoni and pandoro you can find at the supermarket comes from Bauli and shit, they're from Verona so not even in the same region as Milano...

The Baladin panettone I bought comes from somewhere in Piemonte.

itt: retarded ass foreigner think italian food is overcooked noodles drenched in acid tomato juice

-there are actual little shops with local dishes that you could describe as "fast food"
-italian food is the most diverse on the planet
-the concept of "italian food" applied to an american-style fast food chain is dreadful you fucking kikes

>>68551744
I know but I think the whole ceremony in which all relatives bring different Panettoni to christmas dinner and then you taste them all and discuss about their quality is something very Milanese, which is cool.

>>68551911

Why don't any of those has international success? Could it be that they're just not that good and Italians overrate them because "muh traditions"?

>>68552427

International success =/= opening 400 more of the same locals worldwide.

You can be internationally successful when people across the world come and visit your single local restaurant which is famous.

Apart from that if you don't understand this it's simply a cultural gap that you can't comprehend if you don't live here.

Also muh traditions are what made our cuisine so great and recognized, so it's a good thing we keep them "in the family".

>>68552427
I think he's referring to focacerrie or pizzetterie and the likes, they don't go "international" simply because they would never be successful in Italy, since (trust me on this because I know my chickens) Italians would always distrust the chain in order to go to the single store because it's more "authentic" or they actually want bars and snack places run by people from the neighborhood to stay alive.

We have a pizza chain called Spizzico in Italy and there's also another chain of semi-fast food tier food called Autogrill, and despite being almost everywhere, if you ask your average person if they prefer to go have a slice of Pizza at Spizzico or down the corner where zio Gigi makes a perfect trancio with oven baked potatoes on the side, the answer will always be zio Gigi.

Spizzico is pleb but it simply is the McDonalds variant for pizza fast food.

I think that a proper comparison could be done calling "Spontini" in.

Spontini is a premium pizza chain and it's only based in Milan (they have like 19 restaurants), but the pizza is way better than the one you find at Spizzico.

I mean in every Italy related thread there's some latino talking shit about us and it's just a mystery to me why they would do that.
