Where did that man go in Italy? Was he in Sicily? Naples? Rome? Florence? Venice? Liguria? Did he even try food in Emiglia-Romagna?

So basically he likes Italian-American food more than actual Italian food. I think many Americans would probably feel the same

Paywall. And reader view isn’t doing the trick. Does anyone have the full article text?

My mom has the same take. However I personally think it’s about more where you are. Food is bound to be different between Sicily, Napoli, Rome, Turin and Milan

I dunno man my brother in law is Italian and they really do have a food oriented culture way more so than we do here. The fast food industry is obviously not what it is over here and I feel like that has a big impact, not just in Italy but in Spain (where my wife is from) and a bunch of other Western European countries.
Even the grocery store food from their big chains is much more authentic (I can personally attest to Mercadona in Spain).
My brother in law literally takes four hours to make Ragu sauce haha. It’s what he made the first time he was teaching me to cook and when he said it takes 4 hours to make I thought he was kidding or messing with me.
For me it’s really night and day.

Americans are used to huge portions and no seasonality. Italy is all about regions and seasonality. Generally, food in Europe is superior to food here. I still love the USA though

100% agree. I didn’t like the food in Italy and I went to nice restaurants. I like the American version more.

I think most Americans would react like this were they ever to try the cuisines from other countries. Whenever I go to the US food tastes weird for me and waaaaaaay too sweet.

I’ll never forget when I did a semester in Italy and made chicken Parmesan for my Italian roommate who had never even heard of it. Meanwhile my north-Jersey Italian friend used to rave about how his grandma had the best recipe because it came from when she lived in Italy as a kid.

I like American pizzas better for sure. I don’t like pasta either way.
But tomatoes in Sorrento/the Amalfi Coast are god tier, and it’s not even close.

I would only say that about pizza.
Madone…that’s a spicy take from the Dogman.

He also isn’t a fan of German food.
