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
Completely stopping school shootings, probably not, but it seems likely that some may be getting redirected to the C-suite.
South Korea has American restaurants
Lots of the places where be traveled have American restaurants. They are a fascinating look into what people think is American. I love it
I used to work down the street from another building that had a small cafeteria, but on Fridays the chef would set up a big grill outside and cook up sausages, hot dogs, burgers, chicken, and grilled veggies. It was just like going to a backyard BBQ. Those were some good Friday lunches when we made it over there.
TBH I’d much rather have Thai food lol.
yo im down for some pad thai right now
My favorite rotates. Currently panang curry.
damm that shit good.
If your normal diet consists of healthy food like many Japanese diets do, eating authentic American food is NOT a good idea, especially southern food. I say this from experience.
healthy food like many Japanese diets do
Wanna explain what that is? Because obesity is on the rise here and people day-to-day are just eating konbini (convenience store) pre-packaged stuff laden with fried food and instant noodles.
Meals that aren’t stuffed with butter and sugar. Even the stuff at 7-eleven or Lawson is far healthier than a lot of American food.
There’s still a fair bit of sugar in everything. I think trans-fats are also still in use here unless that changed recently.
It would surprise me little if there was at least one, given how well KFC does overseas.
Doesn’t yakitori exist already?
I like the idea, but why the fuck is Hank cooking on a charcoal bbq? Does he want to taste the heat and not the meat?!?
If I didn’t want to taste the meat I’d just cook the meat on a pan
He’s even smiling. My guy sells propane.
This is from Season 3 Episode 19 where Peggy makes a video for the Dallas Cowboys by cobbling together old home movies to show them the personality of the people of Arlen. Presumably, this footage is from before Hank’s hatred for charcoal began—I’m going to take a wild guess and say he became more evangelical about propane when he became a lead.
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.
Why would someone want a propane grill that uses charcoal?
Charcoal flavor with propane convenience. I’ve definitely seen gas grills with some sort of insert where you can put charcoal or mesquite.
God I wish
I want to see Buc-ee’s and the fast food chain Cookout go international. That’s authentic American food, and it’s pretty damn tasty.
I couldn’t imagine a Buc-ee’s in Europe.
In Texas there are signs for “Next Buc-ee’s 108 miles”. Do that in parts of Europe and you have to cross multiple international borders…and none of them will know wtf a mile is.
Even better, they should still be directing to the ones in Texas.
Next Buc-ee’s in 4,181 nautical miles.
there’s one in Jersey that’s 580 miles away
There is? I just searched Google maps…I live in MA and it showed a response on Cape but it was actually a “Bucky’s”. It showed one in New Jersey but that was a podunk little place named Delta Gas.
Northernest ones I saw were in Kentucky. There were closer ones to Europe…probably Florence SC, Pelham NC, or Daytona FL.
I mean there’s a sign in NJ saying the nearest one is 500 miles away
The heart wants what it wants. We cannot decide for it.
An hour driving is not “next”. Yes, i’m europe.
As an ignorant American, does Europe even have billboards like America does?
For context…Buc-ee’s takes pride in their exceptionally clean restrooms. Also idk if gross rest stop/truck stop restrooms are as much of a trope over there.
Well, there is this guy
No, they do KFC
Fanciest KFC I’ve ever been to was in Kampala, Uganda
Ah i see you stayed in hotel kampala as well.
I always wonder how culturally authentic these gimmicky restaurants are. Like realistically hardly anybody in America grills food in the backyard. I do it maybe 3x/year and only in the summer. I’ve seen my dad multiple times grill with snow on the ground, but he was an outlier.
I think it depends on the region of America. I grill a lot in the back yard and so do a lot of friends and family.
Exactly, it’s regional cooking not “American” cooking. A Texas bbq is different from a Chicago or Oakland bbq, and some people insist theirs is the only “real” kind.
BBQ varies by region, but burgers are burgers for the most part. The only real difference is usually what type of ground beef they decide to use, and if they press the meat down or not.
Aside from that, I don’t think a burger in TX is gonna be much different than a burger in NYC or a burger in CA
American living in Japan here and I grill weekly on my Weber over charcoal. When I lived in Texas, we grilled whenever we could, basically. In the midwest, my grandparents had a Jenair for when the weather was bad and grilled at least once a week. They were rich, though, so there’s that.
I guess it’s not the backyard, but grilling at tailgating is super common.
I live in Canada and I bbq’ed dinner a couple days ago. We didn’t eat outside, of course, since it’s -10, but grilling is still a go-to method of cooking.
Like realistically hardly anybody in America grills food in the backyard.
Not so sure about that, grilling is a regular and widespread thing where I live in the US.
One of the subtler jokes in Arrested Development is Little Briton having an “American-style” restaurant where the whole plate is covered in fries.
Hey, as an American I’d totally order that.
I was dragged to a country western bar in Japan so, it’s not impossible?
There was (maybe still is?) a lesbian country and western bar in West Hollywood, CA.
Went in by mistake once.
Columbus, OH had a gay western bar one that turned into the goth club by the time I first went there.
In Tokyo? Country House? If so, I’ve been, heh.
I’d love to go to a bar like that in Japan purely to judge the authenticity.
I went to one in a small town in Japan years ago. It was actually really adorable, the owner LOVED that I was from California
I feel like it might be confusing when I tell them I’m from Ohio 🤣
