OFFICIAL ROAST REPORT
We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Once known as the 'Hay Shipping Capital of the World,' Gilbert has transformed into America's largest incorporated town where Mormon settlers fleeing Pancho Villa found their suburban promised land. Now it's 300,000 people desperately clinging to that 'small town charm' while living in a sprawling maze of strip malls and chain restaurants that makes Scottsdale look authentic.
Gilbert residents brag about their 'health and wellness initiatives' and Saturday farmers markets like they've discovered agriculture for the first time. These are the same people who drive their oversized SUVs to TopGolf and think picking up artisanal honey at the farmers market counts as living off the land while living in the middle of the Sonoran Desert.
Gilbert proudly touts being the 'safest town above 200,000 people' and having zero murders in multiple years. Congratulations on achieving peak suburban boredom where the most dangerous thing is aggressive minivan parking at Whole Foods. The biggest crime wave here is probably soccer moms cutting in line at the Starbucks drive-thru.
Gilbert residents consume enough ice cream for a city three times its size, which makes perfect sense when your biggest entertainment options are chain restaurants and celebrating the paving of Gilbert Road with an annual festival. When your cultural highlight is a three-day party commemorating asphalt, you need all the frozen comfort you can get.
