Yes. And in a time before I was born, exploring American towns was actually worth the effort because there was a variety of restaurants that corporations have killed off. At the same time, locals in American towns know the good restaurants that beat the chains in quality. And if you're visiting, it would do you good to ask locals for recommendations where to eat. Within the country, itself, American cuisine is defined by home cooking more than dining out, and there are restaurants that pander to that.
