I don't agree with this, from my understanding; at least in Florida, most Indian Restaurants are run by people from the Punjab state. There are very few Bangladeshi in the USA.

Also, I think the Olive Garden is the National Restaurant of the US. Its odd, most Americans don't like British food; for much the same reasons many of you have stated, about your thoughts about American food.

Naans are common place here too, in fact ubiquitous I'd say, they can vary in quality though. The wife misses Puri a lot from the US, dosa is also hard to find here (only had it in Tooting myself).

Also I wouldn't necessarily say better! Definitely more authentic in the main though! I much prefer the Anglicised version.
