    I like this a lot better than the standard American [insert meme here] where everybody has like 5 guns. Such a tired trope.

      Indeed, it has been done many times, but there’s no sign of it stopping anytime soon. like their school shootings

        In the early seasons he grilled on charcoal. Also they sell propane grills that use charcoal, this isn’t actually a conflict, it was more an affectation.

    I went to a western restaurant in Japan that was “stereotypical USA” themed and there was mainly kitschy shit all over the place like advertising memorabilia (stuff m&m character statues) and of course american flag themed stuff (but iirc no actual flag)

    It was a long time ago but I remember the menu was like burgers, hotdogs, mac and cheese, etc and the food was super mid. Main thing I do remember was the mac and cheese was 100% kraft dinner which was so disappointing. the burger was also weak which is inexcusable because japan has serious burger game

      Honestly, that kinda sounds like the average American diner experience. Not bad, not good, just okay. Granted, a small hole-in-the-wall or independent diner that’s been around forever will almost certainly be better; but when it comes to your average American diner (like IHOP, Denny’s, etc) that sounds about right.

    They have authentic American food all over the world.

    It’s called McDonalds and its authenticity highly processed and commercialised. Even prepared by children to give it that true American experience.

      MERKA BAAAHD

      I literally emigrated because it’s so bad and I don’t talk like this. If you want to talk shit on America I’m right there with you, but if you’re going to pretend our food sucks you’re not invited to the cookup.

        America is a big place. There’s some good food, but a lot of the food people eat does suck. The entire midwest or god forbid you live in one of those highway stops where your only options are fast food chains or a fast-casual chain.

        McDonalds, Starbucks, and Dominoes exist because people buy that shit.
