All of which is to say that the literal secret sauce in our metaphorical secret sauce is just size and internal diversity. And Southern CA has the finest Mexican food you'll ever enjoy.

but, if you land in Paris and travel 500 km in any direction, you're likely not longer in France. I haven't done the math, but I feel safe in wagering that New England - famed for its excellent lobster (properly pronounced "lob-stah") is more than 500 km north of Maryland (home of crabcakes). (2)

I hate to be the asshole here, but a significant reason for our culinary prowess (as an American it is beyond bizarre to write that) are the geographic and cultural idiosyncrasies - much like Continental Europe. I am not going to favorably compare American cuisine to Parisian fare (1)

Interested in selling you their rasty glass growler. I was able to fill this for $28 at CB, and $22 at Societe, so, growler are now actually cost-effective. And, if you're in the market for a growler; I can recommend this one.

don't bother with Guinness. Having said that, if you get a carbonated beer and toss this growler in your fridge, it will keep beer cold and drinkable for 48 hours, and it takes up less space than tiniest. Also, there's been a cultural shift in North County breweries recently and most places aren't

The growler is made by a company called "Wren," and they claim this 64 Oz. monster will keep beer cold and carbonated for 36 hours. As seen here, it delivers on that promise 24 hours later. I know from testing that this growler doesn't preserve nitrogenated beers well, so, (3)

is like nothing else I've ever enjoyed. It opens with a slight sour note that opens into tart strawberry flavors and a soft, slightly sweet body. It finishes crispy with a sweet malty bread note. At 5% ABV, it's an unparalleled #sessionale that I recommend for all events and seasons (2)

No. Automatic and universal forgiveness was granted the South in the 1890's. We're just going to put this problem off another generation if there isn't some sort of penance on their part.

something brand-new. So is Russian occupation of North America. By definition, any effective resistance to this will be a geopolitical novelty. But, yeah, we are embarrassingly under-reacting, as a whole.
