When you find yourself in small town New England and there is a sushi place with GREAT reviews, but to get there, you have to drive for 30 minutes on a country road to the middle of nowhere, take that as a sign that nothing good in this country involves driving further in-land.
This is why they all eat at chains, isn’t it? Better homogenous and expectedly bland food than kinda “off” nigiri full of crunchy little bones.
