Dear Ms Limey,
Next time you visit, you are welcome to go on a hunger strike.
You have my support all the way!
I do apologize for those thoughtless yanks and yankettes who held a gun to your head and forced you to pig out. And don't feel bad about being a size 22. it looks good on you!

American food sucks? What about Chow Mein, Pizza, Borscht, Burritos, Goulash, Schnitzels, huh?

Ordering from the food encyclopaedias of restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory is rather like resitting one’s SAT tests...And despite the bewildering variety of foodstuffs on offer, any attempt to veer from the menu is greeted with blank incomprehension:If you're stupid enough to visit The Cheesecake Factory, you deserve what you get, IMHO. I suppose that goes for any restaurant with "factory" in the name.

There are many valid points here. A lot of American food sucks. A lot is great. That's one result combining capitalism with consumer ignorance. Also, she probably spent way too much time in MacDonald's and Burger King.

Well geez, if all you eat is junk food, you can't say you've tasted real American cuisine! Try some chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beens & carrots, and cornbread. Now there's a meal fit for an American!

Ella...when you start bad mouthing Twinkies..you have gone too far. However..don't equate junk food with local cuisine. Cajun...Creole...New England chowders...Iowa fresh corn on the cob...Texas BBQ...Northwest crab/seafood...heck, even my kitchen where I make a mean PB&J.

This article is utter and complete nonsense.. It's difficult to find a mainstream restaurant these days that doesn't have some healthier options. I've never encountered a problem when requesting no dressing or no cheese..etc... The thing that concerns me here is the food bashing has crossed over into the 'conservative' sector.. if you don't like something don't eat it, but don't shove your viewpoint down my throat.. Eating "badly" occasionally is not a sin, the Bible says everything in moderation, and that's the God I follow, not Dr. freakin Atkins.

American food is the best food out there. You just have to know where to go. McDonalds ain't it.
Two words. Wild Turkey. One more. Venison.

I've spent too much time eating British food.
If you like boiled potatoes, fish, etc. you'll like British food. If not you're out of luck...

Oh please...A Brit criticizing food in America? This from the country of blood sausage and mushy peas? I'll agree we often go overboard in terms of portion size. As for choice, I'd rather have too many options than not enough.

A pastrami sandwich comes with a good six inches of meat in the middle — how do you get your mouth around (that)... Looks like I won't be taking her out on a date. ;)

The Guardian already wrote a very similar article a few years ago, bashing the Olive Garden. James Lileks makes fun of it
here.

Just salt it. That'll fix anything. If it doesn't, it needs pepper.
