It's a way to find family-owned restaurants. The other ones are "good Asian restaurants have bad service" (though I don't think that's true anymore) and "good restaurants will never be expensive".

The last one is a problem because real family restaurants do want to raise prices/be more upscale too, but none of their customers will let them because they expect banh mi to be $3.
