Make sure you take him out for some Mexican food. My D had a French grad student living with her for a summer and she ended up liking the Mexican food places we took her to and even learned how to make quesedillas herself while she was here. Anyway, she seemed to be open to eating most things but she was quite surprised at the large portions served in restaurants here. Really, it’s a good time for him to try some things he’s not used to. When it comes to eating different types of foods I’ve found most Europeans more adventurous than a lot of Americans and especially me. After all, the French are even willing to eat snails of all things (although not this French girl - haha).

Maybe see if he’ll be willing to pick out some things at the grocery himself.
