Sadly it seems they don't truly understand us (minimum 2 people required to order the Western Grill platter)

i gotta admit they really captured the vibe of a dying american stripmall eatery by using the theme, ambiance and food quality of a fast casual toilet clogger with the pricepoint of place you can't really afford to eat at routinely.

the contradiction of high price signaling and low gut bomb is a very powerful american experience.

Not enough American flags to be believable 6/10

I kinda can’t wait for societal collapse because I can wear a 10 gallon without anyone making fun of me because they’ll be too busy looking for food

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 28 points 10 months ago

There’s also a substantial “americore” culture in Japan that’s similar to this.

Tangentially, one of the best lowkey travel tips I have about visiting Japan is that if you want a bit of extra spending cash you should go to Trader Joe’s in the U.S. before you leave and buy a bunch of reusable bags/merch, and bring any American college merch that you don’t want. If you take it to any thrift/resell store in a reasonably sized city you’ll get way more money than you paid for it.

MY CULTURE IS NOT A COSTUME!!!

Edit: okay just noticed that sign in the one pic says "Horseshoes and Farrier". Isn't that... redundant? Of course a farrier would have horseshoes? Also they have horses in Italy so idk how they made that mistake. And they misspelled "farrier" "ferrier".

[–] booty@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

no no, you misunderstand. they specialize in horseshoes and the river crossing

[–] Sons_of_Ferrix@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

AN OPERATOR OF A FERRY IS CALLED A FERRYMAN THO!

[–] booty@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

you could call it a ferrier too. shakespeare wouldn't hesitate for a second

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 22 points 10 months ago

tbf we have plenty of stuff like this is America too, we're a nation of self-parody

Wait till Americans find out about Spur chain restaurants in South Africa. They'll fit right in!

Yes, the logo is exactly what you think it is

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago

oh man that place looks just awful. and they have snails as an appetizer. incredible.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 10 months ago

That is like finding some old chain from the 1960s or something where they were just blatant about the racism. But it's modern. So gross.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

South Africa continues to South Africa

A hotdog wrapped in a tortilla.

edit: Jesus, one of the steaks is just named after a slur for Native American women.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Simultaneously the least American and most American food possible.

Also, TIL that word is a slur.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago (2 children)

it's been fairly well stamped out i think. Don't hear it in media or the mask off cracker to cracker communication around here anyway, maybe it's more of a lingering thing in the plains states.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Also just sounds antiquated AF, like no one under 90 would say it

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

I grew up with the hiking spot for my family being slur peak and now live a day trip away from slur valley (which just got renamed) and I've never met someone who wasn't native that even knew it was a slur before things started getting renamed. You've got to be like a 1800 elo racist to use it.

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i wonder what OWW sauce is...

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

https://www.amazon.it/WILD-WEST-Salsa-vasetti-185g/dp/B08NYMXS47

sunflower oil, water, vinegar (wine vinegar and alcohol vinegar), sugar, triple tomato paste, EGG yolk, iodized salt, MUSTARD (vinegar, water, MUSTARD seeds, iodized salt, sugar, turmeric, coriander , chili pepper, paprika), modified starches, salt, dehydrated parsley, spice extracts (paprika, turmeric), smoked paprika powder, thickener (xanthan gum), chili powder, smoke flavoring (contains GLUTEN), natural lemon.

Seems like it'd be analogous to North Carolina barbecue with the mustard/vinegar focus.

I get highlighting that and gluten as allergens but I've never seen a mustard allergy.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 10 months ago

It just reminded me of the "GOOD post" thing

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

one of the steaks is just named after a slur for Native American women

only in the english version of the site?!? wut

[–] ture@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

Weird thing is it's only called that way if you switch it to english. Was looking at the italian menu and couldn't figure it out since there were also weird names on but the one you mentioned is just called rib eye so I immediately scrolled over it.

So most probably at least nearly nobody is going to order it with that name, can't imagine them having a lot of english menues available outside the airport locations and the ones in the centres of big, touristy cities.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

The only one I can even think might be a slur is using the Brazilian term for sirloin cap maybe? Feeling lost here

Edit: nvm found it, was under "grand canyon meats"

[–] booty@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Let's see if the hexbear slur filter even knows what it is

cw: antiquated slur that the hexbear slur filter doesn't know about

Navajo Burger

Shiiit

Now I'm gonna double down on my Italian jokes

anti-italian-action

[–] Weedian@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Whats really funny to me is that Navajo burgers are real, it's just a burger on fry bread instead of a bun. You can get them all over the Navajo Nation, they're great but this place definitely doesn't know that

[–] Skeleton_Erisma@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've always wanted to try Navajo tacos, same thing with the burger- just a taco with fry bread instead of a tortilla.

Though I've always seen them super loaded- there's no way you can eat them folded like a real taco.. More like a Navajo Taco Salad hehehe

[–] Weedian@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah I eat the tacos like a big tostada, they're great heres one I made

Cw taco

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

Italians are so particular about their food, but then they'll cook a hamburger, take the top off, lay both pieces on a shelf, and reheat it when someone orders the hamburger

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

Good effort, but if they really want to be really American, they would change that minimum to a maximum and lower it by 1. Also, you'd get a wanted poster of yourself on the wall if you finish it in under an hour. The crime it's for is "extreme gluttony", but that actually increases participant enthusiasm somehow

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago

let me hit a blinker in the parking lot and i'll tank that in 15 or less

[–] lengau@midwest.social 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

Spur is probably "worse" to be honest, the logo is still a Native American man wearing a traditional headdress

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

Somebody in Europe should do a restaurant with a Fallout theme.
