culinary adventures

A big part of America is the food (which is definitely big.) So to start our trip off, here's a quick culinary summary of our first day.

Breakfast

What: Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food
Location: Heathrow Terminal 5
Summary: Restaurant space is really nice and open, with big windows facing the planes outside. The male waiters wear suits (big plus). Food reasonably tasty, but overpriced and the portions aren't big enough. Service is a bit patchy - Gordon evidently hasn't done enough yelling in this restaurant, because I frequently observed people delivering meals to the wrong table. Epic Fail.





Lunch

What: McDonalds
Location: On a highway somewhere just past the state border of Connecticut
Summary: Chicken McNuggets seem a bit more 'faux' than their British and Australian counterparts but are reassuringly "made with white meat". Drink sizes are huge. The paper bags are written in Spanish on one side, and English on the other.





Dinner
What: Domino's
Location: Lexington, Massachusetts
Summary: Pleasantly surprised that Dominoes deliver to motels. Familiar greasy stomach sensation experienced after consumption. Thorough examination of pizza box reveals that Americans are wackier than we thought.

I think it sums up the level of quality we're probably going to eat for the next couple of months. Let's hope you still recognise us when we return to Sydney...
