Pretty much.
Portions in America are of the size you pay for them to be. Unfortunately, too many of us choose the larger sizes. But Man vs Food is a stunt show that showcases the ridiculousness that restaurant marketing can take you too.
Come to my neck of the woods Readie. No teeth, fat like cottage cheese skin, ruddy complection, pimples, bad hair.................need I go on? Don't believe Hollywood.
This has always been the land of plenty. Sometime in the '70's, with the explosion of fast-food joints, the overconsumption began.Is this something that has just happened over time?
The image of America here is the slim version....white perfect teeth, an even sun tan and slimmer than a slim thing.
My teenage lad, who has an appetite to say the least, can't wait to be unleashed on the food emporiums of America.
I would rather drive down Route 66 and see America.

Have the lobster in Maine, Everything is good in a New Jersey diner, Pizza in New York city, A Chicago "Dog", the pizza is good there too, different than N.Y., but worth the effort. Barbeque every where you can find it, it varies all across the country, mostly in the south. Same goes for Chilli. Shrimp in Lousianna, Steak in Texas. Southwestern cuisine in New Mexico, Huevos Rancheros is a specialty in the west.
Oh and Vegas is notorious for huge sizes ($1.99 steak dinners, free drinks at the tables, etc) to make it appear the Vegas is such a bargain while they rob you blind gambling. Vegas and Reno are two of the most dispicable cities in America. Unfortunately, in the number of seedy gambling casinos have been increasing exponentially all across our states.
Ok, if it was truly heaven you could have both, I think you're showing a pic of hell!
Very true!
I guess I'm getting old, I noticed the bacon first.
