Gourmet Fast Food?

[guids]

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.

The laws vary state by state, so I dont know what they classify them as. 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.

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

How good is Pei Wei? I'm feeling like some asian food...

[silver book]

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.

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.

There is at least one drive thru McDonald's in Manhattan. It's at 10th Avenue & 34th Street, and it's a travesty. Google StreetView image here.
