It's a trope Hollywood loves. And you know what? It mostly isn't real. Half of that shit is in a mall food court or a chain restaurant.

The fact that the same food can cost more in NYC doesn't mean it isn't available elsewhere. Also LOL at Mexican is all that's accessible

I'm a Chicago girl. Born & bred. Want to know where most people of my income level meet new foods? At the Taste. Or the mall.

By high school I had eaten food from at least 15 different traditions in Central & Southern America. And most of Eastern Europe

Perhaps a certain strain of white Midwesterner really does avoid everything new. I don't know, that's not my culture. But it isn't normal

They absolutely do. A lot act like any food with multiple syllables in the name or no meat is for gay communists.

There was a huge book that was just titled "real men don't eat quiche", like a fucking cheese omelette pie isn't the most American thing.

Being from NYC and having lived in N. Indiana for years: yep. There is an idea that mediocrity = authenticity.
