No, Americans should recuse themselves because in the absence of real history they go all gooey in the presence of nostalgia. Brits are less gullible. I must remember to post this on the BHSB thread too.

If anyone wants to compare the Shake Shack burger with Molly's Monday or Tuesday next week, speak up. But no clipboards and thermometers.

Oh lord, Molly's was the first BC meeting, almost two years ago. And it was . . . okay.
