    There’s a large swath of people who never try anything new. They’d visit somewhere 3000 miles away and eat at somewhere familiar like McDonald’s/Subway etc.

      I’m interested to see if that happens to me as I get older.

      Right now my policy for trips is “no chains”.

        Checking out foreign versions of American fast food chains can be pretty fun. Their menus are often changed a bit to suit local tastes. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t turn down any chance to eat at a local hole in the wall, but I’ll make a point of getting something from a McDonald’s or KFC that they don’t offer back home at least once if I get the chance.
