Bradford has as much buzz as a injured wasp.

You're right man! Bradford is a million years, no wait, a billion years, or better yet, a bajillion years ahead of Paris or Lima or Bangkok when it comes to cuisine! Macaroons, baguettes, ceviche, coq au vin, aji de gallina, tom yum, larb gai, carapulcra, that's all okay, but it doesn't compare with the glory of Yorkshire Puddings or the world famous Bradford-style curry! And when it comes to culture, oh please, Parisians and Romans are a bunch of uncultured pheasants compared to the classy, well-read Bradfordians. I know that cities like Tokyo or Rio de Janeiro or Shanghai are a lil bit bigger than Bradford, but as they say it's not the size of the boat matters, rather it's the motion of the ocean and let's not forget about the beautiful City Hall! Bradford's City Hall makes the Empire State Building, Eiffel Tower, Cristo Redentor, Machu Picchu, Taj Mahal, and the Hagia Sofia look like just a bunch of bricks. Truly nothing in this world can compare to the glory of Bradford!
