A more fair analysis. Where I live has one of the highest (second, I think)
density of fast and chain places, which I despise. I therefore find all the
good places available, all of which aren't "American Comfort Food" which is
a euphemism for fat peoples food.

We out here hear such mixed reports form the interior.
A friend who was American once before she came to her senses (:-)) reported
that on a visit 3-4 years ago, while driving up the east coast, they had to
eat in Thai restaurants to get any fresh veg. input at all.
Apart from that, she said, just variations on the same old fast food crap.
I guess it's different for locals who know where to go.
This'll probably start a 'where to go for great BBQ' thread.
