and before you ask - I can follow a recipe (most of the time), but I'm next to useless in cooking 'something new'. The above was a passing comment, rather than a threat

America is finally getting it's head out of it's ass when it comes to food. It's a hard process that is a difficult thing to break in most people's minds/stomachs. In some areas of the US there is some great bastard breeds of cooking that turn out some great food. French/Spanish influences turned into Cajun/Creole cooking in the south, there is a lot of french influence in the east coast (they are faint, but still there) and the tex/mex border food that can sometimes turn out great meals.
It all depends on where you eat and what you eat. Now, if only our street food would catch up.
