What is the best US food?
What's one US food invention you wouldn't want to live without? Hot dogs? Hamburgers? Something less basic?
Pizza is pretty good... invented in NYC by Italian immigrants iirc, so technically American, although I gather there is controversy surrounding that take (flatbread was invented in Italy, even with cheese topping, but the whole tomato sauce thing that we recognize today was invented here; this orc entirely ignoring the debate about whether flatbread is "better" or "worse" than American style pizza).

Texas does a lot of things wrong, but what it does the least wrong is Brisket.
The answer is Mexican Street Tacos though.
Nobody is saying anything about that completely cursed gif??
I can't decide if the pun is a play on the phrase "food for thought" or a pun on "brain food"... or a secret third thing....
Clever but it was "Hot dogs in my head"
Proper crab cakes. Unfortunately 99.9% of the country doesn't do it right, so you basically have to travel to very specific parts of Maryland to actually understand the hype.
Fortunately, they're easy to make.
As long as you can get fresh crab. The canned lump stuff can definitely make a good cake, but the fresh stuff is still a pretty big step up.
Texmex
Cheesesteak
In a similar spirit, the Juicy Lucy was invented in MN, though two different bars claim to be the ones that invented it.
A Jucy Lucy (or Juicy Lucy) is a stuffed cheeseburger with the cheese inside of the meat instead of on top, resulting in a melted core of cheese. It is a popular, regional cuisine in Minnesota, particularly in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Two bars in Minneapolis claim to have invented the burger, while other local bars and restaurants have created their own interpretations of the style.
Imagine ordering a food and the lady pulls your order out of her forehead. I would have doubts, if I would eat it or not.
"Eat this if you want to live."
Perfectly prepared BBQ ribs
And throw in a side of pork belly.
One of the few places I'm proud to represent my home state: Pepperoni rolls.
Leave one out for Mothman.
It wasn't invented in West Virginia, but I feel like the thing that I most enjoyed in West Virginia that I don't find nationwide is apple butter.
I had one not too long ago in Harper’s Ferry, not bad!
Haven't been to Harper's Ferry in forever. It's beautiful. I should probably take a day trip up this fall.
I've had similar food before, but never exactly that, looks good! The history is interesting, being invented for coal miners is a very WV.
There's good ones, and there's the ones you can buy at the gas station, lol. If you're ever in the area, I can recommend some good ones.
A couple weeks ago a bunch of friends from college came in for a semi-annual get together. The ones from out of state were all craving pepperoni rolls. I begged them not to buy anything from a gas station / convenience store and to let me hook them up.
I showed up the next day with $100 worth of these super bougie artisanal rolls from a local place. They were a hit.
New Mexican green chile
What makes it special? Is there a particular dish/sauce that's made with it that you like?
BEC SPK, NY represent. That's a bacon egg and cheese on a roll with salt pepper ketchup, for the uninitiated.
That looks like the perfect hangover food lol
It's perfect for a retaively mess free, easy to eat, high protein breakfast. And really does help after a hangover, yes lol
