United States

America the “land of the free” and the “land of the massive portions and [often] tremendous service” if you ask me. Tragically, I have only a few reviews here (that I hope to expand in due course) as I have often been so busy eating I have not had time to type in any reviews. Sure, Americans love their calorie-laden fast foods and drinks but you have to admit sometimes it is awfully tasty.
