Noooo ... this all looks so heavy.
I'd be down for the rest of the day if I eat something like this.

For me it was hard to find decent food in American restaurants.
It was either too rough and fatty or otherwise too expensive.
Or some "healthy" options but I'm not a grass eater either.

What I like for dinner would be something grilled or fried on a pan in the most simple way (NOT deep fried).
And it should be served with a baked potato (NOT French fries) or some pasta or rice.

I hate when everything is heavily oiled, covered with cheese or sauce.
I just feel that I'm dying until I digest such things. Not a pleasant feeling.
And after such food I start to drink like a moose until I flush it down the stream.

So, based on that, my natural choice are quality steak houses, Chinese restaurants and some Mexican food.
And, of course, standard Soviet food as codified by Stalin-time books but it is rare in the US :)

For breakfast I usually eat a piece of quark cheese (tvorog) with a piece of bread.
Healthy and does not need any cooking.

Quark cheese is mistakenly named cottage-cheese by many but it is not the same because quark cheese is not aged and has no salt at all.

This product is one of the most basic things in Russia (and other Slavic countries and Germanic countries) but is almost not present in the US.

"Syrniki" are made from it.

More on this here:

So, for Russian guys, I'd recommend to live in the US only with your very own Russian wife so you can build your own ecosystem independent from what is around :))
I did not have one 10 years ago ...
