Y'know. I'm all for supporting local food. Hell, once I finally tried Buz and Ned's, I was a convert. But, in my experience, local food can be pricey. While I'd love to support those businesses, if I can't afford them, I have to settle for a chain or just eating at home with whatever was cheapest at the store.

And sometimes, I just have a craving for a TGI's Mojito and Potstickers. There isn't a single local place I've found (in Richmond, so flawed comparison) that makes mojitos. Or dim sum, but that's another wank for another day.
