Here in Aus, Maccas has started converting some of their outlets into "Mac-Cafe's".... serve salads, etc. They have been hit hard by the 'health craze' and sales actually were starting to fall for a while. Many 'Pizza Hut' dine in places (same Franchise owner here I think) have closed - mostly only Take Away Pizzas now.

Here in Aus (part of Asia as Little Johnny keeps rabbiting on) we have also been introduced to the delights of 'Sushi' - mainly vegetarian filled vinegared rice rolled in seaweed. That's getting to be very popular lunch time 'grab it' food here.

But then in Aus we have a VERY eclectic palate - 'British Trad', Greek, Italian, Chinese (Dim Sum very popular!), Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, Indian, Spanish, Brazilian, Russian, Native Aussie (Bush Foods), and more other ethnic styles than I can remember - just about every National style food is here! - Oh, and Seafood is still very popular, so the big US chains don't quite get it all their own way here. Many good Top 'Real' Restaurants (this excludes US chain fast food places!) offer a range of 'Ethnic' styles, and many various 'blends' of same too. Most Aussies are far more knowledgeable about food that you might suspect - always trying out new styles of food.
