“My childhood haunts of eating breakfast at Bickford’s — a pancake house chain serving stale, microwaved pancakes — and the two styles of ‘ethnic’ food in my suburban Boston home of Norwood, Massachusetts — sub-par Greek-style pizza and my childhood Chinese food restaurant, also sub-par — have all gone out of business. The culture has been ‘ruined’ by the emergence of authentic Mexican, Indian, Ethiopian and Thai restaurants (all unheard of in my teenage years). Eek! They’ve overrun our culture! By all means, let us give up tacos and go back to America’s historic culture of boiled dinners.” (10/07/25)
