While I appreciate the general sentiment. We should encourage people who can afford to, to spend their money. The more money moves around, the better for our economy. Restaurants will have better incentive to maintain quality if people are willing to pay for it.
The cleanest and tastiest chana chat I've eaten was at a thela in KAECHS, Karachi. This elderly gentlemen sold some well cooked chana with imli + lemon chat that I still cannot forget. He would always keep his utensils covered. Only slightly opened them when inserting the spoon to serve. He would wash dishes very carefully.
Point being, cleanliness and quality derive from characters of people managing a place rather than how much they get paid. On the other hand, you have the likes of Arizona Grill.
