Ask yourself two questions:
What type of restaurant makes more profit? sit downs or quickies?
How adventurous are most americans at mealtime?
Quickserves make far more profit....and most of this country's citizens are burger and fry only types (i know we all eat other things....but nothing "ethnic" other than ****** chinese (Nine Dragons) and italian)....so the ****** quickserve in the american pavilion makes monetary sense for Disney
it is embarassing though...nonetheless

I've never eaten at the American Pavilion and I probably never will. Still, I don't see it as an embarrassment at all. Considering that most of WDW is serving American food, I've always appreciated that we were gracious and willing to step back from really showcasing our culinary skills in World Showcase in favor of letting the cuisines of other countries shine brighter.
I think the burgers and fries are there as more of an offering to people who aren't adventurous enough to step out of safe ground and try something new. Basically, if you're opting for the same ol' "American" burgers and things at World Showcase, you're probably not taking full advantage of all they have to offer there-- and you may not be much of a WS fan. Or you're not American, in which case you have plenty of dining choices all over WDW to sample some uniquely American cuisine.

That will just give Disney the excuse to charge 15 dollars for a hamburger and fries.

Considering the difficulty in getting ADR's at all of the other TS restaurants, I think that theory lacks something, or are you saying the vast majority in those restaurants aren't Americans?

I do wish the American Adventure had a sit-down restaurtant with different types of food from around the country, or even counter service with different types of food (clam chowder, gumbo, etc...) from different parts of the country rather than just burgers and hotdogs, which is not the typical food in my part of the country.

The American Adventure is not usually new food for a lot of people, I know because I've been to Epcot with them. I don't see anything wrong with what is there, but an additional restaturant would be OK. I think for those looking for something other then burgers and fries, there are plenty of places in World Showcase to choose from. I've done the ... we'll go here, you go there, and will meet over there to eat.

Any time we're in Epcot (me, DH, DS13, and DS4, we eat our meals at either American Adventure or Electric Umbrella. We are among those who are not adventurous eaters. We're so thankful that it's there, I don't know where we'd eat without it. I never thought of it before as being a poor reflection on America, I always thought of it as an oasis of comforting and familiar food in a sea of strange and scary cuisine.

HA! He's a donut. I just re-read the thread. Well remembered...

come on....you know better than that...
The amount of seats at table services are a tiny fraction of the people in the parks on a given day....
all it takes is moderate-heavy attendance to jam the sitdowns....
However.....the table service restaurants are just as guilty of american mainstreaming as the quickserves.....as all sitdowns have basically steak, salmon, chicken as the main entrees on pretty much every menu
Think about it....what's truly unique on any menu? not much.....even in chefs de france...akershus....not much in variation Biergarten might be the most "different"
The most "exotic" thing at a restaurant outside of V&A's on a menu at a disney sitdown is the Buffalo steak at Artist's Point....or the occasional special catch at coral reef or flying fish....
....not very impressive....

You're logic is flawed. You can't assume because there are people who can't get ADR's. that they don't want them. You are assuming. You know what happens when you assume...
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

As a non-burger-non-hot-dog-eating American, I do indeed wish for a restaurant serving different American food. I love the idea of showcasing delicious regional cuisine from all over.
Perhaps we could call it the "Dream Cafe".
