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.
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.
Doesn’t yakitori exist already?
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.
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.
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.
The heart wants what it wants. We cannot decide for it.
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 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.
There are a couple of “real” BBQ places, but none that I know of that would have sufficient lawn for lawn chairs. There are plenty of grill-your-own places here, most of which are Korean-style BBQ, but some of which let you grill other things. As I think about it, I don’t think I’ve seen the type of lawn chair (like oven “fabric” style) that I was used to here; it’s all just plastic molded chairs these days.
Yes but it’s actually a Mexican guy dressed in a pilgrim costume.
lol with Free Bird playing in the background. Reminds me of when Khan became a redneck on King of the Hill.
No sir, the proper song is Sweet Home Alabama. It’s our real anthem.
Tennessee has entered the chat.
As long as Tennessee brings whiskey, I’m listening!
Tennessee can keep their Whiskey. Kentucky has got us covered.
But is anyone bringing real whisky? The good stuff I mean.
Louisiana: [bursts through the door Kramer-style holding several handles of rum and bourbon]
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
God I wish
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
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.
He’s even smiling. My guy sells propane.
Well, there is this guy
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.
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.
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 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.
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
I guess it’s not the backyard, but grilling at tailgating is super common.
It would surprise me little if there was at least one, given how well KFC does overseas.
