That's *quantity* you're referring to, Ronn -- not *quality*.

Besides, I can't blame the French for not opening French restaurants in the 
US. (Allow me to throw in yet another stereotype). The French probably fear 
that when that most delicious French food is served (after the chefs have 
been slaving for over an hour to prepare it), you culinary challenged 
Americans will ask for a bottle of ketchup...   :)
