In addition to the variety and blending with new food ingredients, the restaurants that stick around are the ones people like. They may be inspired by regional dishes, but over time they recycle succcessful dishes from other restaurants and adapt to the US palate.
Same as Chinese food, you can often order something that has the same name in different restaurants and it will be slightly different but the same concept because the restaurants are doing their own take on what already works for a large portion of the menu.
This is a positive thing because the familiarity is great, and each place doing their own take plus some unique dishes makes them both different and familiar.
