Thanks MidTowner, but I'm not young. 
i'm not entirely opposed to franchises, and nor do I think that every restaurant need be some potentially snobby, foodie haven either. Lower and mid-priced places are needed as well. I do prefer one-off places to franchises but that doesn't mean they need all be Berlins or the like. I mean Boston Pizza (which charges you extra for bacon on a Ceasar salad for god sake), Casey's, Crabby Joe's, Kelsey's and such are all fine, but they all sell the exact same product and it's generally overpriced. As I said, not every restaurant should require you to sell a kidney just to eat there. So if I want a good burger for example, I go to Frat Burger, a one-off place. If I want wings (which I do right now actually), I go to Milton's or Morty's (prefer the former). Sunday pizza deal at Ethel's is also damn good.
I actually tried to convince the owner of Milton's to set up a Waterloo location in the Chen's Buffet building, but no dice.
Anyway, I think it's great if certain restaurants put K-W on some kind of map, but ultimately I want selection in types of food, and price. Some chains are fine, but I'm glad to see some local one-offs are thriving.
