The vast bulk of the US is utterly homogenous, consisting of highways, suburbs, malls, fast food restaurants, etc.
Any decent suburb will have better-than-fast-food restaurants (mostly chains - Olive Garden, Bennigans, Don Pablo's, Pizzeria Uno, etc - stuff that you might not like but suits me fine), Come on over the river and settle here in Loudoun County, VA. There is plenty of good food here. Within walking distance of my suburban house -- not quite a full McMansion, more like McHappyMealMansion -- is the best mom-and-pop pizza place I've ever been to. We also have execellent Italian, Indian, Chinese, Japanance, Buffalo Wing, and Asian Fusion in our neighborhood. It is a short drive to a wonderful family-run Mexican restaurant in one direction, and a Peruvian roast chicken place in another. Yes, we also have Ruby Tuesdays, Mickey D's Popyeyes, TB/KFC, but it is not all fast food & chains.
If you want really fine dining, there are some very good places down the road or in DC.
I am a former Montgomery County resident and this is much better.
