I took my daughter to the UGA-Tech game in 2019.  It was cold and drizzly, colder that day than in Columbus, OH where she lives.  There were almost no tailgates out, so we stopped at a University cafeteria for lunch, it was actually quite good, and warm.  When I was there, the cafe food was pretty bad.  I tried a meal plan one quarter.

I couldn't afford HH in grad school, it was maybe a once a year treat.

I do like escargot a lot when done well.  I'm not very finicky.

In 2016 my buddy got married at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, KY. My wife [then girlfriend] and I hit a couple spots on the bourbon trail the day before the wedding, and managed to find a rural Kentucky Mexican restaurant--had to pull in just to see it...

It was an experience. The menu literally had a pronunciation guide on the back in case people didn't know how to pronounce complicated words like tacos... "tah-kos" lol...

The food was as terrible as the menu. I could almost see the shame in the Mexican waiter's eyes when he brought us our meal. Like the old environmental commercial where the Native American sheds a tear over litter or something--this man knew it was a completely bastardized version of his heritage. It was like Hamburger Helper with lettuce and cheddar cheese grated on the top of it.

I've had better representations of Mexican food at Taco Bell.
Something tells me that the California yuppy 5 star take on Mexican and Chinese isn't very authentic either.

No, it's not okay to pay like $12 at a restaurant for HH, but it's perfectly fine at home for $3.  We must have had vastly different culinary experiences in college.  I was eating ramen and gas station hotdogs while learning.
I never had ramen in college, 1981-1984.
Ate plenty of kraft mac & cheese and hotdogs from the grocery.  Baked beans.  the really cheap frozen pizzas.

couldn't afford to eat from the gas station

the was a butcher shop a couple blocks down from the house 3 of us rented...... lots of chicken and sausage, burger, cheap steaks.  had a small table top charcoal grill... knocked the glass panes out of the window on the porch off the kitchen.  Grilled year around.  Landlord didn't mind.

one of my roommates tried to feed us HH.  I came back from a night of drinking, looking for food in the kitchen, ran across the 5 or 6 boxes of his HH.  Threw it all in the garbage.

I think I hurt his feelings.

No doubt, especially with Chinese... Some people here don't know that Chinese food beyond Panda Express on the low end and PF Chang's on the higher end exist. Despite there being some outstanding Chinese food, it hasn't permeated culturally that deeply. 

Not so with Mexican food, though... It's one of those things like pizza that it's no longer even "foreign" or "ethnic" food here in SoCal--it's just part of the panoply of everyday eats.

lol, so one college due screws it up so it's bad forever?  Mkay.

I ate gas station food because my parents gave me a gas card.  I even used it for gas sometimes!

Hamburger Helper.

It contains a massive quantity of salt.  The rest is basically starch filler.
