An Economist Gets Lunch

This seems like it might have more appropriately been entitled "A food blogger, who happens to be an economist, gets Lunch." Although there were some interesting stories and viewpoints proposed, I was hoping for/expecting a much more pointed economic take on the material with some significant statistics, graphs, charts, etc., but instead was met with much I already knew. I did find some of his discussion of eating in foreign locales and ethnic foods fairly interesting and worthwhile however.
