If China thinks KFC is good dining we have little to worry about.

A couple of things. KFC in China just tastes a little different, and make what of that you may. And secondly, this idea of ordered food works well and almost any choice is far better than the box lunch they hand out on the trains. But you can get a variety of other things as well. KF may not be your best choice.

Yeah. KFC is very popular in China. They adapted the menu to local tastes before opening stores (where most Western chains started by just offering the same basic menu and hoping for the hype. Very popular in Japan too, where they learned the lessons first.

Perhaps. I haven't been in one of their 'beaks and feet' stores in years. I understand the Japanese vending machine dining is something to behold (there's apparently a word for it).

Mary Browns is better.
TBH, if Via or other passenger carriers were to work with local places, this could be seamless. It is something that they would need to see a benefit from.

Yes, much better. I'm a fan of Dixie Lee but there are something like three left in Ontario.

With onboard wifi now, I suppose nothing would stop a passenger from ordering something and having it delivered to the next station stop.

If the trains could run on time, that is true....

KFC in Japan is now the major Christmas meal. My Canadian pal who lives in Chiba tells me that some Japanese refuse to believe that KFC isn't the major Christmas meal in Canada, too. LOL.
