    I don’t think this take is saying that chain restaurants were actually exciting in the mid/late 20th century in the abstract, but rather what the perspective of the time was. Boomers were the proverbial frog thinking it was getting a gradually warmer bath and millennials/zoomers are staring at the rotting piles of overcooked amphibian parts.
