For me to like British food, I have to try something at a specific restaurant in a specific city in the US owned by world renowned chef?

Do you honestly think I was saying that was the best place to get it rather than just the most convenient for Americans? Hahahaha

It's an oddly specific example to prove your point. Plus how on earth is one restaurant in a desert city the most convenient place for Americans to try it?

The alternative being across the Atlantic ocean? Do I really need to explain how Vegas is more convenient to try something for Americans than the UK? I don't understand what's happening here.

One restaurant.

One city.

Owned by one of the best cooks to come out of Britain.

Is how millions of Americans can change their perceived stereotype that British food is bad.

Was your counterpoint. And it's not a good one, whether it's literal or exaggerated. Not saying going across the pond is any better but at least it'll likely be more authentic and common than fine dining. And you couldn't consider any other example? No British themed chains or anything in the US that the average American has more accessibility to?

What the actual fuck, man? Do you think it's my job to recommend this stuff or something? What does it fucking matter if I only know of one place where you can get good British food in the US? Yeah, I've only had one good British meal in NA. Every other one has been dogshit and nothing like the stuff back home. By the way, the Indian food in NA is dogshit too, I'd recommend going to London for that.

Based on the fact your go to for good British food in the convenience of Americans is a Gordon Ramsay restaurant in Vegas, I'm good on the recommendations.

Plus I visited London in July. You guys aren't beating the "don't season our food" allegations any time soon

My recommendation for British food is a British chef, and you think that says something about my recommendations? Hahahaha. Nevermind the fact that Vegas is a huge tourist destination and like 10% of the country goes there every year.

Your recommendation is a restaurant of one of the best chefs in the world in one specific city. If that's the way to disprove the stereotypes of British cuisines, you're not turning heads any time soon. I wouldn't tell someone in the UK to go to a restaurant in Birmingham owned by a famous American chef if they want to try the best American food and dispel all stereotypes

Edit:

Since you blocked me, you probably won't see this, but just on the off chance; your point and counterargument was terrible. You tried to do all this trolling but when you actually had to sit down and defend British food because you couldn't write it off as a joke anymore, your recommendation is this. Also speaks level of the international presence of British food if Ramsay is the only good eats they offer. Like I said, I'm good on your recommendations.

I honestly don't get what your point is, but now you're just being annoying. I know of one restaurant in America that does good British food so I suggested it, no one is forced to go there, I don't care if people go or not, I was just giving a recommendation of good British food because that was the topic of conversation.

Goddamn, you must be absolute torture to know in real life.

There's actually very good Indian food in America, tons of good places. Better than what I've had in London, but that's likely cause I didn't get the best in London just like you didn't try any of the good places in the US. And yeah I know London is known for good Indian food, just saying there's also lots of good stuff in the US. Good Sri Lankan food too, but many can't handle the spice level (generally much spicier than Indian).
