Americans are so soft. You throw shade at the Europeans by making fun of their food or wine or streets or whatever. They take a shot back and you guys whine.

Take a shot back instead of flipping the table.

As an American I don't know what you're talking about, aside from the UK most of Europe has amazing food, and the wine there is so much better and cheaper

Fight me and my bad dentistry you overweight, stetson wearing, language butchering, gun touting redneck.

The UK has a Michelin star restaurant for every 360k people, the US has one for every 1.5million people.

It's probably better to look at the distribution of Michelin stars in major city centers since you guys are only about 20% the size of our population (edit: and about 25% of our land area).

For instance:

Population of London = 8.982 million Amount of Michelin stars in London = 71 Amount of people per star = 126,507

Population of New York City = 8.468 million Amount of Michelin stars in NYC = 72 Amount of people per star = 117,611
