      Mikhail Maxwell i need to visit the souther states and learn how to make good fried chicken and just make some in the uk.
      The shops in the uk just fry em and just leave them in a warmer until someone buys one, but over there it seems to be fried per order.

    In 2005, I showed up to Dookie Chase in shorts and a polo shirt, not knowing the dress code. The staff hesitated to seat me and my wife, but Ms. Leah intervened and walked over and showed us everything in the lunch buffet, telling us what was good that day. It all was amazing, and we were made to feel incredibly welcome, despite our attire. The classiest lady I've ever met, in one of the finest restaurants in the world.

    Greetings from Italy, so sad that in my country people generally look at the american food culture thinking of it of just hamburgers and fries, seeing this video made move not just because it shows that of course America is not all about that, but because it shows that preparation of food wherever you might be when done well, is done with something everyone shares from the tip of the south pole all the way up to the northern one, and that's love, it's something very powerful, it brings people together, it brings down barriers, it lights up life...

      blah Well I did, and yes it's always like that, people have prejudices, they kind of need them, and they hold on to them, it would be nicer if more and more people actually started to gain interest and see how it really is.
      I've lived in Baltimore for a few months and I got the chance to experience the seafood there which, if you go to the right place, is just fantastic, then I had the honour of eating at the James Beard American Restaurant in Milan for the EXPO, and it was amazing so now I can't wait to come back and discover more about American cousine.
