It was a predictably patriotic week around the Menuniverse, so let’s get to the highlights of the celebration of America

• In addition to iced tea and hot dogs, MP: Boston shared the wonders of community-supported agriculture. Can’t get that in Communist Russia! Well, in theory, you probably could, because that was kinda what Marx was getting at … nevermind. USA!

MP: Chicago unearthed several people living out their American Dreams.

• And would America be complete without its gluttony? MP: Philly had that covered this week, what with all the news about steaks, cheesesteaks, country fried steak and cookies. There are no vegetables in Philadelphia.
