look. imagine a place where the burger is not native. where the best burger you can hope for is... adequate.
imagine, if you will, a country shaped like a schnitzel.

I can already hear the stomp clap music
Portland 2005, except it's damn near impossible to get a bad meal in Portland. Best food I ever had consistently in my life.

Burgercore!
I wouldn't judge a book by its cover. Following aesthetic trends is just being savvy, it's not necessarily compensating for something.
SED PORTTITOR
The most mediocre dining experience (for the money) I've ever had was at a restaurant called "Smallwares." Emphasis on small, it turns out. Case in point, we ordered duck breast, which cost a fair bit. I was picturing at least a fair amount, but it was the smallest smidgen slivered up with a dollop of sauce. It was the same with every dish, high prices for not much food.
Sure there were other places that had worse food. One remote dinner lacked any fresh food, but you can't really help that when you're in the middle of nowhere. But never have I felt like I was being fed by Famine from Good Omens.
But where else do I get my malt vinegar fix?
