I mean, principle of charity- we're talking about ethnic meaning ethnic non-American.
Regardless, I've also been to Memphis, and I had some really good BBQ there, and I had a lot of really average BBQ. I think another problem is that a lot of regions coast on the reputation of their "regional" food, and there's a lot of people that aren't great chefs or aren't dedicated to the art of food that ride the coattails of the region's reputation.
- User23 8y agoThe really charitable thing to do would be to recognize that there are indigenous, albeit relatively young compared to the old world, American ethnic groups with their own culture and cuisine. This is a consequence of demographic change. Historical Americans are just another set of ethnic groups now, equal with any other. Another big reason for the decline in the quality of these cuisines is that the old people who know how to make them are retiring and dying and their descendants aren't interested in maintaining their own culture.
