- burgers in new york
Los Angeles is America’s burger capital. I pointed this fact out to Ricky Tokyo as I was in New York over the weekend eating, curiously, almost exclusively burgers. Ricky Tokyo scoffed at the mere thought, but fact is fact and anyone who tries to tell you differently is, like Tokyo, a New Yorker.

- Snakes on a Plane: The Exegesis
