I've lived in LA for 49 years, traveled extensively for business for 20+ years. No moderate sized city is going to have near that quality or breadth. New York, Chicago, San Francisco sure. At best you will have small outcrops of good food but the majority is bland Americanized "this is what is safe to serve in the states" food.

FOr people who don't know, cordyceps sinensis is the fungal caterpillar. It is a fungus that grows in a caterpillar kills it and bursts out a big spore rod thing like the chest-buster from Aliens.

The spore rod is long and rigid and erect though, like a big dong. So it is worth its weight in gold in China as part of their 'traditional medicine' because since it is long, rigid, and erect... it makes your dick long, rigid, and erect with magic.

This has nothing to do with "non-white" people wtf are you even talking about? It has everything to do with population density and economics. In LA the Ethiopian population it over 60,000 easily the size of a moderate sized city in the Midwest. Because of this volume, markets, foodstuffs are plentiful enough to support real value add businesses like legitimate restaurants for that population. That is not the case outside of these large population centers except in very rare instances.

Here is a little tidbit, wonder why all of these "foreign" restaurants across America all have such similar menus and tastes? Because SYSCO has an "ethnic restaurants" division where you can literally call them, tell them you are starting a "Greek" restaurant and they will send you their starter packs including suggested menu items, breakdowns of everything you need to order down to the actual individual portions so you can control costs, all nicely sanitized and made safe for American palettes. Every major food distributor has a division like this.

If you want homogenized "foreign" food be my guest. I'll enjoy the real thing.

Lol of course NYC, LA, and San Fran have unrivaled varieties of "foreign foods", but lol you sound like nobody I would ever want to travel with because their are plenty of small towns and cities that have great non-homogenized ethnic food. poo poo, I found a great authentic sichuan restaurant in Edmond, OK of all places. Nowadays with Yelp it's incredibly easy to find these places, but you sound like you might be someone who " doesn't do apps"

(vaguely remembered, so had to google) The centroid of an earthquake is located at the centre of energy release, usually near the centre of the rupture area.

What kind of stuff specifically is he going on about?

tbh there's probably not much you can do, but if you're gonna do anything you have to figure out what and why he believes what he does. It's not often about what's true, like you know how batshits on the right argue ridiculous things they know on some level aren't true, but their goal is more to own the libs? It's like that with more misinterpretation of books they haven't read.

This is basically a 1:1 analogy, the chief difference being that the tankie version of "owning the libs" is usually some form of anti-Americanism. The factual basis for their beliefs is less relevant than if they serve that one fundamental idea

Many Chinese restaurants in America have a public menu with typical Americanized food and an authentic menu for Chinese people. You can usually tell if there is one based on the number of Chinese people eating there. The menu will be entirely in Chinese and will not be advertised. They will probably pretend there is no Chinese menu or refuse to give it to you unless you chat with the staff in Chinese. This is done to avoid bad reviews or refund requests from people that are used to sweet and sour chicken that would be horrified by stuff like offal dishes. Ethnic food has exploded in popularity and restaurants in major cities often open up their entire menus to everyone now but I would still say a majority have the secret menus.
