...guess it's time for you to hate me again," says Eminem hopefully on Relapse, his first new studio album since November 2004. Not so fast, buddy.

While every highway Olive Garden and Chili's hinders that dynamism, local cuisine is not gone yet. "There is no national hot-dog chain," says Stern. "That's because people are so loyal to the hot dog with which they grew up." So maybe we're not quite Europe. That doesn't mean we don't care about our food...
