    Depends on who’s asking. If an American… They shouldn’t even ask. For them “bad food” is just “food”.

      Oh please. The US has many problems, and there are food deserts to be sure — but go to a first class US city and you’ll find great food.

        Gotta go where the fresh immigrants concentrate lol. Personally, LA is my food mecca. I’m a sucker for good authentic Asian/Indian/Mexican food. Gimmie all that spice!

          LA is the only place you can wake up, have authentic jianbing for breakfast, go down the street for some authentic tamales for lunch, and around the corner for some authentic sushi for dinner.

          And then when you get tired of authentic, you can take advantage of all the blended culture. Bulgogi tacos, curry spaghetti, pizza baos, etc.

          I haven’t had many opportunities to visit, but dear god the food was beyond words.

        What I read is “US is big enough that if you search long enough you find good food”. Overall, a random US restaurant will be a fairly forgettable experience

      L take. It might be poison, but the average food is definitely better than average Euro food north of Italy.

      We have nothing on Mexico/SA or any Asian countries tho.
