As someone from the west coast and now living on the east coast, the number one thing I can say is.... the food sucks. All of it.
East coast food culture sucks.
Its either bland or some unholy pairing of bullshit (that also sucks). And I also think they go out of their way to make things wrong.
Try to order a "California Burrito" (if you dont know, Google it, pretty common), so what does Virginia think goes in it? Chicken, steak and shrimp and beans... thats not "choice of meat", that all 3 together. None of which is what is a California Burrito is...
Here in Viriginia they just fuck up everything. Order a Philly Cheesesteak... what do they put in it? Fucking lettuce and tomatoes.... what's not in it, fucking cheese. You get more authentic subs from big chains like Subway. Like these people dont have the internet to search.
Oh, and sit down at a Mexican restaurant, theyll bring you chips with white sauce. Everyone else is thinking "oh cool queso". No, not queso.... its mayo with some onion powder.... these mf serve tortilla chips with mayonnaise.....
... How did we get here from mountains?
We talking about burritos now.

You need to hit up the south. Amazing food. Sure the weather is hot af, the politics are fucking terrible, and you'll probably get some odd looks of you're not white.
But boy....that food. Put some pounds on you quick but you'll leave fat and sassy
Correct, barbeque from the south, dessert from the Amish, Italian from New York and nearby Italian grandmother's. If you get a burrito from some place that's bad that doesn't mean there isn't top tier food there.

I love love love listening to my Western friends complaining about how much more difficult Appalachian trails are. See this creek bed? That's the trail. No pansy switchbacks to keep the grade nice. If there's a headwall, we're going straight to the lip.

I've lived in several places, all FLAT. Whenever I visit a mountainous place like Denver, it always seems so weird that there are these mountains always looming over me. At least you always know which way is west.
I grew up in hill country and I cannot for the life of me understand how people live in the flatlands. It makes me physically uncomfortable.

The real difference between them is the trees.
You see that little bump in the middle, those are the Ozark Mountains. The East coast's seem perfectly fine from here

Gringos and their flatland they call a country
The east coast has some teeth, Mt. Washington will absolutely ruin your day.

Those mountains to the east have endured much more bullshit than those young whippersnapper ranges in the west. Their story begins as part of the African continental plate.
I don't know a single thing about USA elevation. Is this map real?
No, the Earth looks smooth to the naked eye when viewed from that distance.
Here is a typical physical map of the US:
