Actually, the worst hamburger I ever had was in Paris. So, um, no, "Any chef can make a good burger" not true. Best franchise burger is at Five Guys. Best burger EVER was a 1lb Kobe beef burger in a Brazilian restaurant in Boston. Every bite was a religious experience.
New woman doesn't have much sense of humor...That makes her a fine target. I've never been to France, but French food here doesn't impress me much.Good Chinese, authentic Mexican (hint...Taco Bell isn't) Spanish, Italian, Ethiopian, Yum. French; any that I've tasted has been icky and a little rank.
I'm afraid I have to differ about the Diet Coke. Just as the best regular Coca-Cola is made now in Mexico, so is the diet version. They call it "Coke Lite"; it tastes like regular, but they claim it has 0 calories. I choose to believe it. Of course, Mexico is also part of America, so we can still claim it as ours.
There is a McDonald's in a Walmart in Clarksville, TN that hadthe best fountain coke ever. Something to do with just the right mix of soda and syrup in the machine. The only good reason to go to Walmart at all.
"If you can't do something right, call it something different" is getting painted onto a nice matte board to be framed over my tv, it is my new mantra.
You have been getting consistently great lately, keep the funny coming.
One might think that Diet Coke is supposed to provide balance to the horrible nutritional content of a Big Mac and fries, but what isn't being said here is that DIET COKE HAS MORE CAFFEINE THAN MOST OTHER SODAS.
On the authority of my future sister-in-law, who recently traveled to England and made the mistake of trying to order American foods, Britons are supremely inept when it comes to making burgers. Flat pans and grid irons are somehow uselessly foreign to their kitchens. Other friends who are residents in the country also claim their markets either have no knowledge or concern to import and procure the proper ingredients to make any Mexican foods.
It is worth noting here (though perhaps a bit late) that American cuisine is largely derived from the recipe books of the European peasants that moved here in the 19th and 20th centuries. The food of the rich, lacking such a medium, was thus largely confined to its countries of origin.
Actually, the Japanese have a tradition of sucking at burgers.
It's very odd, but the Japanese, who normally excel at rare cooking, seem to falter when it comes to beef patties.
Perhaps it's the fat bits inherent in a patty, but they end up with grey hockey pucks so often until specially trained by Gaijin that "crunchy hamburger syndrome" is a real term for visitors to the island nation.

Any idea how I would go about suggesting a Random Comic button?
I really wish this site had one, I love these comics but it's annoying (for me, anyway) having to go to the Archive and manually click random ones :(
We do have some damn good barbecue.
I actually know a place where the Coke tastes better than anywhere else. I don't know why but it does.
just wget the archive then write a 2 line shell script to pick a random file and pipe it to feh
"If you can't do something right, call it something different" is now amongst my all-time favorite quotes.
OMG, I think I'm in love with this woman.
Panel 4 - genius!
Lol! Groet Scott, thnx

Brilliant...should be part of an MBA curriculum.
BTW (and excuse me if I'm repeating something someone else has said) but does anyone else hear Jamie Hyneman's voice for Scott?

It's a scientific fact that has been proven by my own experiences that your statement about straw size influencing taste is completely accurate.

America can do some great food.
Steaks, burgers, pizza I could go on and on.
@Toni I haven't read too many of these but i've put H Jon Benjamins voice on him in my head. Jamie just doesn't quite sound arrogant enough to me.

As a diet Coke fiend, I do not enjoy the McDonald's large bore straw. I reuse smaller straws that I've obtained elsewhere.
