Stop the presses: Italians react negatively to non-Italian food.

I worked in a resort town that didn’t allow chains. The only exception was the IGA grocery store.

There's enough salt in that bucket to make for a fun black diamond run.

I'm sure they can still feel superior in their high end restaurants to the poors crunching on some corporate slop

I mean I dislike KFC for health reasons but this seems extremely snobish. If you don't want KFC while skiing, don't eat KFC while skiing. Other people might have different desires. I tend to not mind KFC when travelling because it is familiar and low risk.

there's probably a fuckin' mcd or other [sysco hut] in the area so I don't know what these purists are whining about.

Italian food isn't even that good. Americans had to perfect it for them.

Now French food, that's the real art.
