a 'california' burrito has fries in it. a few "Belgian" restaurants over here are just fries, different dipping mayos, and beer. so that is not surprising.

Different mayos? We only have two types here. Regular and with lemon. Hmmm. Argh I need fries now.

Hey nathom, thanks. I also thought frjtz mayo selections were old-world. Except for the chipotle.

I am v interested in the idea of the American Belgian restaurant bc I grew up in the supposed Belgian section of a small town and have seen one 'fancy' Belgian restaurant in the states ever that was in Charlottesville, VA.

I have had the Belgian hamburger/fries sandwich in Brussels. I was in a very strange hotel, suffering from the worst headache of my life caused by drinking a tall can of beer at 9am on an empty stomach

Haha. I love tourists not realizing how strong our beer is and then becoming drunk in the middle of the day. (Feel sorry for their hangovers though.) Esp Americans love how it's "acceptable"/legally ok to drink alcohol on the streets. Yes, they won't get fined but it's still soc unacceptable. Noone here does it cause it's frowned upon.

It was a Carlsberg

The American Belgian restaurant was invented here in DC and there are many different takes. My current favorite has a brunch dish where they just put the waffle in a bowl and pour chicken waterzooi on top of it.

A couple of weeks ago my son, 5, suggested we try baking some bread with cooked noodles mixed into the dough. Considering it tbh.

I had a slice of pizza with ravioli and a slice with penne alla vodka on it last week. I have no regrets.
They tried to make ramen burritos a thing. I tried to make it at home once but I don't think I got the seasoning right.
