As a lifelong New Yorker who grew up in Brooklyn, I think my equivalent is the outer-borough all-night diner with the endless menu. My friends and I grieve the closure of so many of the ones from our misspent youth! (R.I.P., Sheepshead Bay Diner!)
The restaurant i miss the most when we moved to Virginia from New Hampshire is BERTUCCI'S!! They serve a genuinely superior devil's food cake and i used to love their mussels. Of course the chain restaurant we frequent in Virginia is Hardee's for the chicken tenders and their sausage biscuits. I particularly cherish the time we went to a Hardee's in Fincastle where my maternal relatives are from and everyone in the place looked like me.
Chain restaurants offer familiarity and consistency, making dining decisions easier. Their standardized menus and predictable experiences provide comfort for many. Additionally, their widespread presence ensures accessibility, allowing patrons to enjoy their favorite meals across various locations.
"But things change, and if the most recent election proved anything, it’s that people are tired of having taste." so so good!
