I always think back to this one NY Times article where the food reporter breathlessly praised the new food craze that had started in Brooklyn: banh mi.

I remember thinking, “Banh mi have been popular here in MSP, in the US, for…what, 10 years? 20 years? And have existed in Vietnam, their place of origin, for •how many• decades now?!” But no, it officially does not exist until it reaches NYC.

That’s the mindset in which somebody can thing Colorado is somewhere near the Pacific Coast.
