This is in EATDRINK because, well, it's at the Hard Rock Cafe. Try something new people.
Australians all let us rejoice because surely we have national icons to wave our flags about? According to two American ex-pats, Eric and Steve, our nationalistic fervour is the plight of the American immigrant.
Who can deny that Neighbours is deservingly one of Australia's proudest cultural exports? Eric And Steve can: "Who invented the soap opera? America."
Okay, well if we can't pride ourselves on the Timmons family at least we can say we're a croc-wrestling nation, right? Eric and Steve don't think so: "Alligators in Florida eat more humans than your Crocs."
In that case, what other nation has the tiniest front man known as ‘that short guy' from Human Nature? We knew we had them there. Eric and Steve then invited us down to the Hard Rock Cafe to be awestruck by the Van Halen cover band, XHalen and their accompanying dancing midgets. We got donuts.
If you prefer a slice of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving over gorging a vomitable Four'n'Twenty on a belly full of VB, this is your night.
In an all video-projecting, stand up comedy-ing, singing and midget-dancing star spangled event, it'll be proven America has more than an embarrassing president.
