    I mean, it’s pretty easy to dismiss this desire, but our chain foods in other countries can be quite unique. You can have a burger and a sauna in Finland at a McDonalds. A beer in Germany. Spain’s version of McD’s is insane. And that’s just the arches. Japan has a waiting line at KFC for Christmas because it’s become a tradition. I get why it would be cool to see how what we grew up with differs on the other side of the world.

      I went to a McDs in Rome and it was fookin trash. But I mean, its my fault for going to a chain in Rome…I ate at much nicer places otherwise.

      The problem is eating at chain restaurants in the first place. But then again I’m not American. If you visit a foreign country and eat at chain restaurants from your home country you are the lowest of the low.
