What is it with foreigners and their obsession with American fast food? I'm a born and raised US citizen and I maybe will go to a chipotle or panera out of pure necessity but I dont give a fuck nor do I ever seriously desire fast food. I know plenty of people who get it on occasion, but nothing like the weird fast food lust I see from foreign visitors to the US.
The place was franktuary in Pittsburgh if anyone has been there before. I highly recommend avoiding it unless you are a hot dog enthusiast.

Maybe he just liked it because it reminded him of food from home. Tbh though most fast food tastes okay if it's made properly and not old, a lot of money, time, and research goes into making that stuff taste good. And it sounds like he was just hungry and didn't care too much, just wanted food.

meh generalisations are boring, especially when an american claims foreigners always want fastfood.
some europeans have no idea about food, same as everywhere on the planet, i personally experienced it multiple times the other way around, americans in korea/china heading straight to mcdonalds etc
