Wait is this a thing? Do Americans legitimately call it “togo”? I came in here to find out what sort of food togo was.

No, we do not. We do say "to go" however. OP probably accidentally missed a space.

british ex pat in America. I have said "to take away" and been met with blank looks, until I corrected to "to go"

I think "take away" is valid too. "To take away" just sounds odd.

I remember when anything from a chippy came wrapped in newspaper. I don't know why, but I really appreciated that as a kid.

There is nothing like a poke of chips. Somehow, something so simple truly has no analog in the US. I really don't know what they do so differently.

Fish and chips shop. Traditional and delicious British dish.

Chips here meaning french fries in the US, not potato chips, which themselves would be crisps in the UK.

It's what British people call a drug dealer. It comes from the word chipper, meaning perked-up

I suppose being wrapped in newspaper would make it feel more scruffy and home made

I don't think it was that - the way they wrap it is very quick and professional looking. The texture was nice in particular - a warm parcel of newspaper. Idk.

Mildly infuriating, they weren't supposed to have the oils touch the inks

They should have wrapped it on the other side

You should ask a refund

This place is in the middle of nowhere and it was a biker dive bar, I sure as shit am not asking for a refund haha.

Don't ask for a refund; demand it. Threaten them if you have to. Tell them you'll bring the pain if they don't give you your money back.

Is this the one part of the night qualifies as merely mildly interesting?

In all likelihood, it's rated for direct food contact on both sides, like the stickers on fresh fruit; you're meant to be able to safely eat them (although you may not want to).

It was actually ok. I wouldn't say it was great, but I enjoyed it. It was a Philly cheese steak.
