Japan is fun and pretty dang safe seeming. Vietnam would be fun also but a little less safe. Cambodia even would be an interesting time.
Here in WA, if I didn't live in Yakima the options are decent. I would consider Sequim, anywhere on Whidbey except Oak Harbor, Anacortes, and Chelan.
IMO trick is to be in a community of 60-100k that is 60 to 120 miles from the city. Quasi rural is a damn good life if going to the pub isn't on the agenda.

I think I would fit in nicely. Just maybe the altitude is the difference, and I could somehow ride wheelies.
Not ‘rating restaurants’, but appreciating (and even revering) great food as a vital part of a local culture.
And something that brings people together, and creates a common bond, a shareable bond.
You need to travel more.
I’ll buy you a ticket on the first Tesla trans-pacific flight.
doesn't count if you're too ded to eat!
Well, possibly in Papúa, New Guinea!
I picture that place like durango. As in overrun with uncivilized australians much like durango is overrun with uncivilized texans.
Hmmm…a restaurant in Durango specializing in BBQ’d Texan Longhorn Long-Pig?
The supply would be endless.

Yeah, call it ‘Serious Texan BBQ’, and it would even be grammatically correct.
'dipshit magnet'
All ketchup joints. I never trust any bbq restaurant west of alabama. Real bbq involves mustard seeds.
(look, I did the 'thing')
Seems fitting
Despite my best attempts not sure how I can shit on this thread more than it has been. It is like the Germans have their own online version of Jason Bourne.

Yeah. That's still not what happened.
Valuing food as a cultural staple is not the same as conflating 5-star restaurant reviews and community worth.
That community size is double what I was envisioning, but I agree with the idea. <2 hours from a decent sized metro with an airport, and <20 minutes from a couple of reasonable grocery stores, is about the sweet spot for me.
They have one in Loveland. For mass produced bbq, their brisket is not half bad.
No the second one is not what happened until later
You literally were ranking a place to live based (partially) on the appeal of the available restaurants. And THEN you and rideit started to describe another tangent about food in general as a cultural staple after the fact.
You didn't say I wouldn't live in some of these rural italian villages because the culinary styles don't truly represent the medditeranean heritage of the region. You said You won't find an interesting restaurant for miles around,
Nevermind the underlying framing premise that other cultures exist to primarily to be sampled by fancy travelers...

He probably should have said, "You won't find a restaurant for miles around"... because *any* restaurant in an Italian village is sure to be interesting.No the second one is not what happened until later

And *every* Italian village has a church and a restaurant.
I hear they're pretty unremarkable. I hope someone left an informative review on the dining app I use.
You seem to imply that there is such a thing as a civilized Austrailian. And Texans for that matter.
We are nothing if not predictable.
Good point. Do two redundancies make a null set?

I choose the 60-100k sized city because generally theres better options and more stores to find stuff. Plus it's easier to hide in the folds. Those small towns are nice also but one becomes a "local" very quickly. Not that thats a bad thing necessarily.

OMG
Has the discussion turned to barbecuing Australians now?
Never eat an Australian before you have a drug test, good chance you'll get dinged for cocaine.
i'd say you western nc ticks a lot of your boxes (asheville area @binary visions can comment). too bad it's full
so maybe western va (harrisonburg area)?

Woo, dude, this is all complete horseshit.
I provided no information whatsoever, in fact. You injected everything you subsequently railed on. All I said was that, if places to eat outside of the home were of interest to a prospective resident, that wouldn't be found in a lot of these places that were seeking to bring in new residents.
Local or foreign, authentic or not, none of that mattered or was part of my comment.
If you're a human being who occasionally goes out to eat to a place that's not a fast food chain, it's probably because you enjoy food. It's not offensive to include food options in your local area as a consideration for whether you'd enjoy living there

Not only was this, again, imagined by you - but it's directly contrary to what was being discussed, which was living in these places. Not sampling as a fancy traveler. Living there.

Don't discount laziness and lack of planning on my part.
I only go to casa bonita
It doesn't re-open until May, man...Don't discount laziness and lack of planning on my part.
I only go to casa bonita
I'm fasting to protest the lack of quality restaurants in the area. Only casa bonita deserves my patronage. #standards
partsabara was nice...
i forget who i made mad from nc when i commented on the lack of deodorant worn and clean air at a COC reunion show in asheville....i'd say you western nc ticks a lot of your boxes (asheville area @binary visions can comment). too bad it's full
