In the land of red, white, and blue, we think our diet of breaded SPAM, hot dogs, and underage girls is up to par, but any French chef worth his fleur de sel would blubber furiously into his apron. Putain de merde!
Perhaps Monsieur Jacques is right. Perhaps we should broaden our palate, beginning with the amazing foreign foods at Phoenix Sister Cities WorldFEST. In addition to the cuisine merveilleuse, the event offers live entertainment, cultural exhibits, a world bazaar, and an extensive selection of international beers to wean you off that dreaded Schlitz.
