Generally, they've embraced local customs and seldom complain as long as Buford and his posse don't pester 'em for autographs while they're a-dipping their bread in that silly balsamic vinegarette instead of slathering it in butter like God intended. It's who we are. But we smell better and none of us has armpit hair. It's NOT to confuse judges from the James Beard Awards, although that's an awfully good guess.
