      Their bread is sweet, their chocolate tastes like vomit, and everything has high fructose corn syrup in it

      On the other hand, real Texas bbq is amazing

        Yeah mass produced garbage is garbage, but there’s good food outside of that. 3-4 distinct bbq styles all great in their own right. Clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. NY pizza, Detroit Pizza, Chicago Pizza and hot beef sandwiches. Biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, fried okra. Blackened seafood, crawfish boils, jambalaya, beignets. Where I’m at, smoked fish, wild rice, and pasties.

            Yes. If you avoid the mass marketed junk food and chain restaurants, you can find some delicious and unique cuisine almost anywhere.

          I would add “Tex Mex” among the list of good American food, along with “Chinese Food”.

          By Chinese food of course I mean the food Chinese Americans and immigrants serve in the U.S. From what I understand it’s not really authentic Chinese food, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t tasty. I think it counts.

          Yeah, it’s a shame how we’ve exported all of the worst of American cuisine. There is so much good shit
