      <![CDATA[Having grown up eating Mexican food, I never eat at a Mexican restaurant if the diners are mostly Anglos. The chances are that the flavors have been dumbed down and the food tastes like the bland, mass-produced goo, glop, and garbage that Manny's shovels out.

      <![CDATA[I think this is a fair rule. <br>
<br>
My experience tells me though that fat people generally aren't picky eaters and also generally dine at places I wouldn't eat at anyway (Bob Evans, Applebees, IHOP, really any chain you'd find in the burbs)<br>
<br>
I don't think I'll ever walk into Cafe Europa or Room 39 and find the majority of the clientele to be overweight.

      <![CDATA[This is a very good rule.<br>
<br>
The rational foundation is that fat people tend to like huge portions and portion size is generally negatively correlated with food quality. There are a few Mexican and BBQ places where that relationship breaks down, but generally you don't want to eat where fat people eat.

On the other hand, if I go to a Chinese restaurant and the majority of customers is Chinese, I assume it's at least authentic.
