[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it isn't even close. The vast majority of food in the US is mediocre to really bad.  And it is very, verrrry expensive.  I mean try traveling to Tokyo. The number of eateries per block can be mid warping, and it is often insanely high quality.  I was watching a show the other day about prepared bento boxes that are sold as quick foods on the go for Shinkansen riders.  It was all fresh and very well prepared food that would probably blow most US restaurants out of the water, and it was only like $10.  Or try going to a country like Thailand.  The food there is 1000x better in terms of flavor and price.  The US just has very subpar food that is very expensive.  [/quote]

Comparing Tokyo to the entire US is disingenuous. Compare Tokyo to the only US city of a comparable size (NYC) and now tell me that the "vast majority" of food in the US equivalent is mediocre to really bad.

These arguments are so tiresome. No, the food in some midsize midwestern town is not going to be able to compete with the food in one of the culinary capitals of the world. This is surprising to no one and not really an argument.[/quote]
Um Tokyo is like 37 million people. https://www.gotokyo.org/en/spot/6/index.html The view is just like this as far as the eye can see, 360 degrees. [/quote]
