Apple pie isn’t American.

The next time you call something "as American as apple pie," you might want to consider the fact that neither apple pies nor apples originally came from America. Apples are in fact native to Asia, and the first recorded recipe for apple pie was actually written in England.

My grandparents, immigrants from Holland, loved apple pie. But they would put a slice of cheese on it. It's surprisingly good, but it sounds weird.

The easiest way to find authentic Chinese food is to go on Yelp and look for restaurants with three and a half stars. Exactly three and a half — not three, not four. Three and a half stars is the sweet spot for authentic Chinese food.

This works best in major metropolitan areas.

hmmmm...what is the sweet spot of stars in Yelp for best Mexican restaurants in the area?

years ago, I went to a Mexican place that was rated by Yelp as the best in the town (Escondido)...my friend, Charlie, (RIP) a Mexican, said don't bother with Yelp, just look for the Mexican restaurant that is crowded with Mexican diners...he said the first clue is a parking lot full of older American cars...then look for Mexicans leaving with bags in their hands...and a few waiting outside...

we went to that Yelp restaurant, half empty parking lot with more newer Japanese cars...mostly Gringo diners...place sucked...
