That said, I think that many decent restaurants in the US are overpriced, with pretentious service catering to a yuppified clientele. They work harder on the ambiance and presentation than on the food quality. I judge a country's restaurants not by their most expensive, but by their average. You can go to any no-name restaurant in any no-name town in France and expect good food. Try that in the US. They may have an attitude, but they _know_ food. Snails, sheep stomach and kidneys are all good ingredients; you just have to know what to make of them. - - Phong P.S. I judge amateur photographers by their best shots, and I judge professional photographers by their average shots. Eric Welch wrote: > > Yeah, Americans don't have a cuisine.
