A couple of years living in San Francisco persuaded me that I really am a European, temperamentally as well as just by birth. But I would always recommend Europeans, and especially Brits, to go and see what the US is like. Especially Brits because the common language allows you to see in amazing detail just how bizarrely different people are. There is some great food, too, and even some great beer. Admittedly mostly on the edges, and there's an awful lot of middle. I find it's a good plan to assume that people are lovely everywhere. It generally turns out to be true. -- Jeremy R1200RT

Well, that may be the case... but the restaurant (chain) serving some of the best tasting steaks I've eaten is in the US; Morton's.

Morton's, Pete Miller's, Ruths Chris - all very good in their own way, but, if I had a choice, it would be the porterhouse steak from Saltgrass Steakhouse in Galveston TX. -- Dnc
