Taking out chains would lower it but that tweet probably isn't far off. Shouldn't count chains since it's the same food just a different location. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 20:44 8
- I'd guess the board of health also counts bodegas with a grill for egg sandwiches. Are those really dinner places? -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 21:14 3
  - And some places are only open for breakfast and lunch. -- nm - Meg Apr 6, 21:16
  - also, they probably also have to certify carts and trucks, just guessing though -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 21:15 1
    - I don't know if those are counted separately or not. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 21:30
- Yeah, chains should be collapsed into a single entity. I've been considering this for my grubthing site. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 20:49 3
  - Though everyone who's been to, say, more than one KFC knows that there are good KFCs and bad ones. - Roger More Apr 6, 20:55 1
    - Good point, except for choosing kfc as the example. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 21:00
  - Might be a good call. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 20:50
That sounds about right. Greater Victoria is about 2,000 food facilities, so ~1200 restaurants -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 20:43
