The other day my son Jasper asked me what sounded like a simple question: “Dad,” he said, “what is American food?”
Jasper is six years old, and we live in Southern California, which meant that in the course of the preceding week he and his twin brother had encountered Sonoran-style tacos, Lebanese kebabs, Vietnamese spring rolls, and several iterations of pizza. It is customary for first-time visitors in Los Angeles to remark on the multicultural multitude of the city’s restaurant landscape, but only when you live here do you realize (as did the late California food critic Jonathan Gold) that the scope of its globe-hopping is immeasurable, that you can roll along miles and miles of boulevards such as Pico and Venice marveling at shopping centers that read like culinary maps of the world.

Steak-and potatoes!
From a movie called Enchanted. I never saw it but I liked this gif.
I thought everyone in that show ate at Los Pollos Hermanos.
For breakfast, even!
“Whatever you do, don’t press the [red] button!”
I know that joke.
Looking at all those pictures confirmed that I’m just a commoner. None of the dishes appealed to me; my plebeian taste buds want good and plain food. Forget the fancy stuff.
American is whatever I cook from scratch. We finally finished 101 ways to serve T-day leftovers so now it’s back to checking out what produce needs attention - chayote, cabbage, 1 carrot, potatoes and onions. Maybe everything in a slaw with a side baked potato topped with homemade yogurt and leftover breakfast bacon. Hmm, the bacon can go into one while the saved grease can go into the other or not. Or German America putting it all in a skillet and dessert is yogurt and can candy some pecans I picked up on the way back from setting out the trash. Tomorrow, leftovers can be turned into Asian American adding the last little bit of frozen bamboo shoots and homemade wraps.
Ack, the first picture had to have been throw on the plate by a 3 year old and the rest look straight out of the garbage. No decent piece of beef needs a brown gravy mix. The burger might be ok if the bun is soft but it looks a bit over baked and is that more brown gravy mix? The bunuelos look ok but the article scared me enough to wonder what is in the batter not to mention it is right above the bathroom of the year.
Guarantee the multiple authors voted D.
Whew, ANOTHER big passenger plane from Mexico just flew over. Rattled the windows for the longest. We never had this route until the past few weeks. Joe has to get as many illegals as he can before 1/20.
What? It is passing it’s cousin on the way back to Mexico. How many more??????
And again! Every where I click on Flight Radar 24, there are more. Back and forth and back and forth.........
steak and potatoes with corn on the cobb.
cooked on a grill.
