What a topic. The most disappointing thing for me coming back to the US from abroad is the food. We have a lot of immigrants but for whatever reason the food here just doesn't stand up to where it comes from. American food it self is pretty underwhelming. It lacks flavor. Americans won't eat the flavorful parts of meat, wont eat anything with a head. Even boring Britain eats blood in blood sausage, you cant get out side specialty butchers in the US. It tastes great. Why can't we get fresh shrimp with their heads and shells on? The parts with all of the flavor. There are no spices or intense flavors. Even the sub cuisines the US does do OK in doesn't have intense flavors. BBQ got brought up which often relies on sweet sauces. NYC pizza is a close to other countries ime of what food is like. It can be fast and good. It can be high end if desired. It's iconic and almost every likes it. Halal trucks also. Food trucks seemed to have potential, where people could experiment but they have gotten expensive, basically sit down restaurant prices. Singapore has the best food culture imo. If you want an example what to strive for. Where there is good food at all price levels and experiences. People expect good food. To many places in the US get away with bullshit. Part of the issue with the US i think is that its to hard to run a restaurant. There is to much overhead, regulation, hiring i suspect. So food quality suffers to keep a profit. There are to many mid tier burger places serving that same things. You cant just run a grill on the side of the road in the US with some seating. IDK what with these comments acting like food in France is only baguettes and cheese? One of the popular food places in la marais is a falaffel place. Damn I keep going, US has so much potential but its just wasted.
