I went to a bar like this in Brooklyn. It was decorated like the outside of a trailer park, complete with little trailers that were dining booths. There were strings of lights for ambient lighting and the tables had camping lamps.
The rest of the furniture was lawn chairs and folding tables, and they served hot dogs and hamburgers and potato salad, standard picnic fare.
that actually sounds really good, and I don't even like that typical assortment of food. Just put me in the right environment and I'll eat thousands of pounds of it
Honestly that sounds pretty fun.
And super Brooklyn. "Let's cosplay as the poors!"
It was very relaxing for a bar in Brooklyn. Not even any TVs in it.
They could have had some broken tvs!
A 52" rear projection TV propped up on bricks.
Need to have another, smaller, tv on top of it. Bottom one has picture, top one has audio. Gotta have em on the same channel to watch anything
Edit: can't forget the coat hanger antenna!
Topped with an assortment of empty natty light cans, a bong, and a funko pop of that guy with the crossbow from the walking dead.
Honestly, that sounds like some refreshing fun. Have the cook with a big grill out front, and putting in the order is just chatting with them.
"Hey, bud, you want a burger, hot dog, steak, or some of this brisket I been smoking since this morning? Want something to drink? There's beer and soda in the cooler, or we got tap water. The little cooler has juice for the little'uns."
And then have a cashier keep track of what they had, conveyor-belt sushi style. The cook chats with whoever is standing around drinking a beer with them (and is drinking beers or soda or whatever all shift), and everything gets served on paper plates. And the tables are all those wooden picnic tables with cheap plastic tablecloths.
And those who are eating there are encouraged to stand around and chat with other people as well (if they want). Just make the whole thing like a backyard barbecue with your neighbor Hank.
And hire nothing but retired men and women working part time as the cooks. Nothing but grill daddies and mommies, working just for some extra cash and the fun of barbecuing. I would take that job when I retired in an instant.
Edit: better yet, make it habachi-style, where there's a grill daddy/mommy for every group or two, set up like a park barbecue. I love this and want to go to one or work at one now.
Shut up and take my investment money.
(Please note I have no investment money.)
My new retirement plan is to open that joint here in the States.
I want to open it overseas! Export some actual American culture.
I also want to have special football nights where we put the game on and do snack food appetizers. Pigs in a blanket, a couple crackpots of little smokies, chips and dip. There's a big sign out front that says when we offer tea we mean southern style sweet tea, so please ask for unsweetened if that's what you want!
So many ways this could be done right.
I would take that job when I retired in an instant
You won't have to get a job when you retire if you have this kind of good ideas
Or better yet, please ship authentic texmex anywhere outside of the us thanks. I am dying.
I would do this, just give me a pack of smokes and drinks and ill cook ya whatever you want (and im not even american!)
I like the idea, but why the fuck is Hank cooking on a charcoal bbq? Does he want to taste the heat and not the meat?!?
This is from Season 3 Episode 19 where Peggy makes a video for the Dallas Cowboys by cobbling together old home movies to show them the personality of the people of Arlen. Presumably, this footage is from before Hank’s hatred for charcoal began—I’m going to take a wild guess and say he became more evangelical about propane when he became a lead.
In the early seasons he grilled on charcoal. Also they sell propane grills that use charcoal, this isn't actually a conflict, it was more an affectation.
He's even smiling. My guy sells propane.
Yes but it's actually a Mexican guy dressed in a pilgrim costume.
lol with Free Bird playing in the background. Reminds me of when Khan became a redneck on King of the Hill.
No sir, the proper song is Sweet Home Alabama. It's our real anthem.
Have the full experience with Accent and flags. It might sell.
I tell you hwut.
I think the full experience would be children running around with the dirtiest faces you’ve ever seen.

I grew up in Florida
I went to a western restaurant in Japan that was “stereotypical USA” themed and there was mainly kitschy shit all over the place like advertising memorabilia (stuff m&m character statues) and of course american flag themed stuff (but iirc no actual flag)
It was a long time ago but I remember the menu was like burgers, hotdogs, mac and cheese, etc and the food was super mid. Main thing I do remember was the mac and cheese was 100% kraft dinner which was so disappointing. the burger was also weak which is inexcusable because japan has serious burger game
Honestly, that kinda sounds like the average American diner experience. Not bad, not good, just okay. Granted, a small hole-in-the-wall or independent diner that's been around forever will almost certainly be better; but when it comes to your average American diner (like IHOP, Denny's, etc) that sounds about right.
I was dragged to a country western bar in Japan so, it’s not impossible?
I’d love to go to a bar like that in Japan purely to judge the authenticity.
One of the subtler jokes in Arrested Development is Little Briton having an "American-style" restaurant where the whole plate is covered in fries.
I like this a lot better than the standard American [insert meme here] where everybody has like 5 guns. Such a tired trope.
Indeed, it has been done many times, but there's no sign of it stopping anytime soon. like their school shootings
I want to see Buc-ee's and the fast food chain Cookout go international. That's authentic American food, and it's pretty damn tasty.
I couldn't imagine a Buc-ee's in Europe.
In Texas there are signs for "Next Buc-ee's 108 miles". Do that in parts of Europe and you have to cross multiple international borders...and none of them will know wtf a mile is.
The heart wants what it wants. We cannot decide for it.
Even better, they should still be directing to the ones in Texas.
Next Buc-ee’s in 4,181 nautical miles.
