I’m a picky eater, but my stance on cheese on chicken is legendary.

Trips to Italy have ruined Italian food for me here in America. I havent had pizza since last Dec in Italy... cant eat that crap here.
$20 in a non touristy area will get you: a bowl of the best pasta ever, a glass of excellent red house wine (no need to upgrade), and a tiramisu. No tipping required.
French food is awesome also (I love snails!). Their ability to make simple dishes into awesomeness with sauces is unparcelled.
One major disappointment: while in Germany last summer, I found out that "Black Forest Cake" doesnt actually exist. I tried to find it in Baden-Baden (which is actually in the Black Forest area) and all of the folks I asked basically said its an American creation. Bummer... cause its awesome lol.
In the Cincy area most of the Italian food is crap (Pompilio's in Newport is a joke)... Scotti's and VV Italian (run by a woman from Puglia) are pretty legit, however.

How do you elevate pizza to that level?
Some are definitely better than others but it's hard to f**k up pizza unless you burn it.
I've had plenty gourmet wood fired pizza in the states and to me it's just different not really better.

Ethiopian ? We tried that once at a fancy hot spot in Washington DC .. Like intimate setting , hard to get in , might see the big power brokers there etc etc .. food was barely edible !!! Awful. Thats my only experience , reason those dudes are all skinny .
I love all food so much it's hard to answer .. ??
Chinese ( forget 99% of places , never ever go to a buffet)
Thai
Mexican
Also dont dig Indian food at all. And Japanese ? love sushi but all I think about is those terrible hibachi places selling chunks of unseasoned chicken on a flat top and people salivating over it .

Its the tomatoes. That volcanic ash soil in Italy makes them so much better: you can eat them like an apple.
Also, their food supply doesn't have the preservatives and other crap that we have here.
I eat tomatoes out of my garden like apples. Have been for years. Maybe it’s the ash from my wood stove I add to my compost pile
