Tbf american food is ass. There is no american cuisine. American's just eat shittier versions of original and good recipes from other countries. Even hamburgers that are one of the most popular in america us not american food.
this is the dumbest shit I ever heard, Southern bbq, creole, cajun, soul, New England there are many types that you donโt know cause you eat frozen nuggies all day.
While all these cuisines are awesome and I would love to have a taste. They don't compare to French, italian, greek, turkish, thai, chinese, japanese and so on..
im from LA, the food there is ass ngl. it's not that American food is bad cuz I've had really good food in NYC, SF, Texas. LA just doesn't have a great food culture, it's more about aesthetics, so I've never ever had really great food here
