This is an outstanding idea.

I like the idea, but why the fuck is Hank cooking on a charcoal bbq? Does he want to taste the heat and not the meat?!?

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This is from Season 3 Episode 19 where Peggy makes a video for the Dallas Cowboys by cobbling together old home movies to show them the personality of the people of Arlen. Presumably, this footage is from before Hank’s hatred for charcoal began—I’m going to take a wild guess and say he became more evangelical about propane when he became a lead.

In the early seasons he grilled on charcoal. Also they sell propane grills that use charcoal, this isn't actually a conflict, it was more an affectation.

Why would someone want a propane grill that uses charcoal?

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Charcoal flavor with propane convenience. I've definitely seen gas grills with some sort of insert where you can put charcoal or mesquite.

I went to a western restaurant in Japan that was “stereotypical USA” themed and there was mainly kitschy shit all over the place like advertising memorabilia (stuff m&m character statues) and of course american flag themed stuff (but iirc no actual flag)

It was a long time ago but I remember the menu was like burgers, hotdogs, mac and cheese, etc and the food was super mid. Main thing I do remember was the mac and cheese was 100% kraft dinner which was so disappointing. the burger was also weak which is inexcusable because japan has serious burger game

Honestly, that kinda sounds like the average American diner experience. Not bad, not good, just okay. Granted, a small hole-in-the-wall or independent diner that's been around forever will almost certainly be better; but when it comes to your average American diner (like IHOP, Denny's, etc) that sounds about right.

They have authentic American food all over the world.

It’s called McDonalds and its authenticity highly processed and commercialised. Even prepared by children to give it that true American experience.

MERKA BAAAHD

I literally emigrated because it's so bad and I don't talk like this. If you want to talk shit on America I'm right there with you, but if you're going to pretend our food sucks you're not invited to the cookup.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

America is a big place. There's some good food, but a lot of the food people eat does suck. The entire midwest or god forbid you live in one of those highway stops where your only options are fast food chains or a fast-casual chain.

McDonalds, Starbucks, and Dominoes exist because people buy that shit.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -1 points 4 months ago

You know you can cook for your self, right? And cook outs and potlucks still exist.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I like this a lot better than the standard American [insert meme here] where everybody has like 5 guns. Such a tired trope.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Indeed, it has been done many times, but there's no sign of it stopping anytime soon. like their school shootings
