The cynic in me thinks number 1, but the stomach in me disagrees.

According to my Snapple cap, there are more French restaurants in New York City than there are in Paris.

...Really? That seems so bizarre. I have to wonder if any "American" restaurants exist outside of our own country. I mean, I know there are McDonald's and Taco Bells, etc., abroad; but are there upscale, 5-star American restaurants in Paris? London? Rome?

(...After a bit of research...)

As it turns out, there are several, but not nearly on the same scale. I figure it would be one of two things:

1. We're so desperate for a bit of culture that we siphon as much as we can from anyone we can get our hands on, or
2. We really, really like food. And French food is delicious.
