34. The same goes for hole in the wall family restaurants

rather than big chains. If you want to give the CEOs of Applebee's, Olive Garden and Papa John's a black eye, go to the competition running little ethnic restaurants or even diners.

You won't be sorry. Often the food is a hell of a lot better, especially when it's pizza!
