I'm sure you can handle the under $9.99 entree wherever you end up. 

OK,   you and Dutch come to Barberton and I will buy the  $7.50 lunch at Al's.

Retirement I highly recommend it, more time to watch sports, waste time on sports boards......and cook up good gameday foods!

.......oh my wife hits 62 in June, taking her pension. Dutch meanwhile has to keep working.

Of all the threads in this forum, this might be the one which draws the biggest separation between you and I, guys... Not only for the vocabulary (I don't travel too much, thus I am not proficient on food vocabulary) but for the tastes and choices. 

I've been eating fast food quite a lot when hanging out with friends, but I'd say that most of us wish to earn just enough money to pay a restaurant's bill and never have to step back into any McDonald's.

You may have a gang of Americans coming at you with pitchforks after comparing their barbecue to McDonalds...

How can I buy when you can't even name the restaurant in Canton that we are going to?

The Desert Inn is excellent, Middle Eastern cuisine.

Bender's in downtown is as good fine dining as you can find anywhere.

Canton brewing company makes pretty good beer and has excellent food.

The Bistro at Gervasi Vineyards is world class.

Casual but excellent Greek food at Papa gyro.

Table 6 upscale-casual top notch.

The Brown Derby is an Ohio tradition owned by Gus Gurves' grandson Parris.

Classic and popular seafood restaurant there since the Earth cooled Tim Tavern.

Mission BBQ is one of the best anywhere.

Get out your wallet Gipper.

I didn't include any chains except Mission BBQ but Texas Roadhouse is not bad.

No one's forcing you to eat McDonalds, so if you don't like it, don't eat it.  Problems solved.  Lot's of spanish food is Shmucking gross.

I hope they didn't understood it like that. I was just commenting about McDonald's because it's the only restaurant I know myself and it surprises me how people keep going when in my case we only use it when we are broke.

Of course no one is. It just amazes me how in a thread about food, talking about great beer and so on, fast food gets involved. And I was pointing how it is a cultural thing. I'd be more than happy having lunch at any fine American restaurant. Every country has it's own specialities in gastronomy and it's one of the joys of travelling.

See, I live in a town of 200,000 people with a metropolitan area of 300,000. Probably it's because it's not a big city, but had we have a conversation about places to go to eat, we would comment restaurants or specific places. Never about food chains.

I’ve always been a McDonald’s apologist here. I think for the sheer amount of food they turn out at such a fast pace, that the quality is better than its given credit for. 

Its more than edible. 

That said I’d much rather eat a plate of chorizo and patatas bravas of course

Wait, what? You mean chorizo separated from the patatas bravas, don't you?

I hope no one has ever served you both mixed up. Both are great but tastes don't combine well (it's weird to add any sauce to chorizo)

I don't know....do you eat a lot of mutton over there?   I don't think Americans are big consumers of mutton.

Though...I suspect otherwise that what we eat is pretty similar.....just prepared a bit differently.....and named differently. 

I assume you eat some concoctions that consist of beef,  pork, chicken...or other poultry....and fish?

And you eat vegetables no?  tomatos, potatos, rice, corn etc.?

And cheese.  You do eat cheese?

And you eat sweets?  Some kind of cake or pastry

Though I probably do need to take my wife to the Gervasi Winery sometime.

Food like art, music, even different sports can be a bit subjective and vary a lot by region or points on the globe it makes life more interesting especially if you have an open mind about things.

There is nothing wrong with fast food restaurants or drive thrus for a quick economical meal I personally prefer to try different places plus I like to cook and my wife is an excellent cook and we have a very extensive cookbook collection.  Often when our friends are invited for a meal they will bring more unusual books! (but we have enough!)

I also love sports and food and love to combine the two, nothing better than good food on gameday! Try something new once in awhile.

Well....you know...this is America.....so we do have it all.   From the finest most expensive restaurants to your fast food and greasy spoons.    I don't know if the Spanish are like the French....but we don't usually spend 3 hours eating dinner....so sometimes the food is fast and furious.

I agree for the most part....considering that the door of my office is 100 steps from the front door of a McDonald's.   (and just this morning I ate one of their Sausage Egg McMuffin's).

It is also a matter of cost.   I can eat at McDonald's for $5.00.   To go anywhere else for lunch...with tip....it would more like $15.00.  That said, maybe today I will treat myself to a real lunch.  

Maybe Mexican.

What does our Spanish friend think of Mexican food?

It does seem that you obsess on food a bit.   Maybe to my detriment I don't actually spend much time thinking about what I am going to eat.  It is almost spur of the moment.   And I eat what my wife puts down.  I am not finicky.

We aren't called the melting pot of the world for nothing inside of our 3,000 mile borders plus Alaska and beautiful Hawai'i.

There probably is no more diverse and delicious food anywhere else in our little world.

Well I have been retired for a long time and my wife and I both love to cook and eat well.....big surprise you can eat well and very economically at home, but I also enjoy a great restaurant, I used to travel a lot. 

I also have very many other interests in music, movies particularly TCM, sports naturally, finance (a hobby now) and a whole lot more.

We're back on monthly menus again, makes shopping and eating not boring at all.... Bon Appétit!

Some languages have an unique word that does not exist in any other. In Spanish we have 'sobremesa' which refers to the time/moment when you stay talking (and drinking) after having lunch. We give a lot of importance to lunch, more than many other places, and family meetings tend to be at lunch (we can stay talking for a long time in the sobremesa). We don't eat a lot during the dinners in our daily basis. 

In fast paced cities like Madrid or Barcelona, with office schedules and long times for commuting, it's more like America and the rest of Europe, with a short lunch and a main dinner.

Yea.....we gotta work, sorry.  We can't spend 2-3 hours eating lunch...and then sleeping for another hour. (another Spanish term we don't have here:  siesta).

It would be 'nap'. We don't spend 2-3 hours eating and 1 hour sleeping. I'm talking about family meetings.
