an entirely new cuisine. Tex Mex has some of my favorite dishes for example. It’s not for sure better than authentic mexican food, but it’s different. Always fun to switch things up.

Chinese food

Disagree. Real Chinese food, like duck brain, is far superior to the crap we have here. Except for Din Tai Fung.

Not really. When Italians come here they uniformly acknowledge that our lasagna and pizza are better.

Every single Italian? How interesting. Sounds anecdotal to me.

And that’s even more true with lasagne. Italian lasagne is far superior.

Chinese. Making sushi more accessible. Pizza isn't as much an improvement as it
