Re: Gourmet Fast Food?
[ QUOTE ]
fwiw, I just met with the st louis county health inspector last week, and I had to classify my place, it is full service, but I was curious as to how it worked and what the classifications meant, they were full-service, deli, fast food, and a couple others. A fast food place is anywhere that you order at a counter, and pick it up at a counter, it has to have a drive through otherwise its considered a deli. [/ QUOTE ] Almost no mcdonalds,BK,wendys etc in manahatten have drive thrus.So they should be considered delis?

You can also check more than one classification though, there are hard and fast rules, but there is overlap. They just look for different things depending on what classifications you check.

Isn't Pei Wei owned by PF Changs? [/ QUOTE ] I think so, at least that is what I have heard. PF Changs is just a lot "fancier", more expensive, and not much better in terms of food quality imo

Re: Gourmet Fast Food?
Pei Wei is the best non-sitdown asian resturant I've ever been to me. Much better than koyoto bowl, panda expres, etc. imo

Pei Wei is owned by the creators of Ruths Chris Steakhouse and PF Changs. [/ QUOTE ] I don't think Ruth's Chris is correct. The PF in PF Chang's stands for Paul Fleming, who started Fleming's steakhouses among other restaurant endeavors. They are based out of here and I think Fleming's are located nationwide now. Pei Wei's are too, I believe. The original location for all three was in or near Downtown Scottsdale. Pei Weis were thought up several years after Chang's as a mid-priced alternative to capture the niche between fast food and fine dining. I'm pretty sure there is zero difference between the food at PF Chang's and Pei Wei, you just pay extra for the atmosphere at the former.

Re: Gourmet Fast Food?
I think the industry classification that encompasses both Chipotle and Burger King is "quick service." This refers to any restaurant where you receive your food at a counter, as opposed to a "table service" restaurant.
