When Linda and I visited China several years ago we were surprised to see that Pizza Hut was considered a fine-dining establishment. On the pedestrian mall in Shanghai there were two Pizza huts a few hundred yards apart and on Friday night there were long lines of waiting diners at both locations. As tourists we opted for a more local cuisine we called Chinese food, but were fascinated by the crowds at Pizza hut.
I am not sure how Pizza Hut Restaurants are doing in China these days but they are still making history. The Pizza Hut Chicken Parmesan Sandwich with Breadstick Dipping Sauce and Fries was named one of the unhealthiest orders at any fast food restaurant. One sandwich contains 1,790 calories, 99 grams of fat (22g saturated fat), 4,380g sodium, 174g carbs and 54g protein. Yum!
I believe the government should subsidize the sandwich so they can sell them for 1/2 price in Shanghai. It might be our most effective secret weapon!
