Munchies [1], the Food section of Vice, recently published an intriguing interview with Guy Fieri [2]. Helen Hollyman, the editor in chief and author of the essay, asked the Food Network star the question so many of us have pondered after all these years: "Where exactly is Flavortown, USA?" Guy responded in a way none of us could have expected:

"On camera, I once said, 'This pizza looks like a manhole cover in Flavortown.' Willy Wonka had a chocolate stream, you know? So it's taking these iconic food items, these iconic food moments, and giving them a home. They all live in Flavortown. It's like one of those things in The Matrix: You can only get down with Flavortown if you believe in Flavortown. I have people walk up to me and say, 'Hey, I'm a citizen of Flavortown.' I have people that want to pledge to be a city council member of Flavortown or the mechanic. It doesn't stop. What would be the airline of Flavortown? Sausage Airlines? It just doesn't stop. I just said it, and then people heard it. Of course, there's no Flavortown — unless you believe in it."

So there you have it, folks; Flavortown exists in your mind, and its citizens are your favorite food memories. BRB, booking a one-way ticket via Sausage Airlines to Flavortown!
