There are only a couple hundred countries, and only one can be "the greatest". You'll get different answers based on which metric you pick, but clearly the right metric is "quality of US-style BBQ restaurants". And that's why the United States is the greatest country in the world.
I actually heard the South Korea's got a pretty good one. 🤣
Very true, and to judge, one would therefore also need to have a fairly good overview perspective and context of all those countries...
If only it were true. I suspect that while we'd still win, that would be a narrow victory over the koreans or possibly the south americans. Argentina and Chile both apparently have a really strong bbq culture.
No, the true contest would be for deep-fried novelty foods. There, it's just down to us and Scotland, and they're not even their own country yet.
