Now you have me daydreaming about French roast chicken and potatoes boxes dammit. Sometimes the cravings still hit. Rotisserie in the US just isn't the same. The French rôti is a lifesaver when you're a broke uni student with only a hotplate in your apartment and a budget that goes almost entirely to wine and drugs.
The big American cities with a large office-working population who have some disposable income and little disposable time have started seeing an influx of "healthy" fast food usually centered around the "carb-protein-veg-sauce all in a bowl" model (sweet green, cava, fresh&co etc) designed to be eaten at your desk. These not only taste like ass but are just as expensive as going out to somewhere for an actually decent sit-down meal and having an actual human conversation and leisurely enjoying your food. How you eat is almost as important as what you eat.
American's relationship with food is so broken
*gets off of soapbox*
Corissa specifically has shown that she actually appreciates good food when it's put in front of her (that farm to table restaurant they go to sometimes, the artisanal items they buy at the farmer's market etc) but I have to wonder how much is it her actually enjoying it and how much is it her enjoying the aesthetic of being a healthy, hot, rich, down-to-earth babe who dresses in frothy sundresses and eats nothing but farm to table micro green salad, artisanal bread, and small-batch pistachio butter.
Food is increasingly becoming a status marker in the way designer clothes once were. What you eat, (the afore mentioned farm to table micro greens, natural wine, expensive tinned fish, lemons, avocado out of season, fresh veg in general but only instagram-worthy examples) where you buy food (Erewhon, Whole Foods, the farmer's market but only the pretty ones) and how you cook gives people a sense of superiority amid our current economic uncertainty. When most people are subsisting on rice and beans or various types of cheap, nutrient and protein rich beige slop, having fresh veg and meat in your pantry is luxurious and having the time to cook good looking, good tasting, healthy food is aspirational. Corissa tries very hard to keep what she consumes on camera to this "aspirational" level, though the fast food wrappers and that bag of nerds she posted recently give her away.
