>>>the same bland crap>>>>>> I'm sorry you are having trouble finding a tasty restaurant meal. Maybe you will have to travel south to get one. We went to New Orleans this last weekend & the food was GREAT! Houston is not a bad place to find great food either. Maybe it is the cigarette smoking that has fouled up your tastebuds. That *is* one of the down sides.
Central Maine is a disaster area for good chow.
And forget about ethnic food. Ya gotta see the stuff they call salami to believe it.
The only saving grace is good fresh seafood.
