Mark just returned from a business trip where he had been meeting with British colleagues who had been living in Switzerland.
The British colleagues bemoaned the lack of good food in Switzerland. "It's great if you really, really like cheese," they said.
So Mark, being that day in eastern Iowa rather than in the vast food desert that is French-speaking Switzerland, took them to a Vietnamese restaurant. He says the imperial rolls with curry vegetables were quite nice, and the phở looked pretty good too.
"We really take it for granted, living in the U. S., that lots of people will have migrated here and opened restaurants," mused Mark. No kidding.
Also, even smallish towns in the US have probably at least a couple decent restaurants or cafes, so you don't need to go to a city to have brunch, or get a sandwich that doesn't look like you robbed a school kid.
