Why is that? Are Londoners that afraid of things that don't have a brand name that is listed on the TSX?
It's quite the opposite here in Windsor, we have many independent restaurants throughout the city and burbs. I always thought it was mainly the American cities that were overrun with chain restaurants. We have lots of chains here too, but there are more independant places to eat, and their food is usually superior to some of the chains.
