I am currently visiting the USA, and before I leave I want to try some food that is “uniquely” american - IE, you can’t really find it outside of the country.
UK stores do tend to have a “USA section” which has a small amount of sweets and other products. But I am wondering what americans specifically missed / couldn’t find in other countries.
As an example - Wendy’s as far as I’ve seen, isn’t local to the UK or at least where I live. So trying that was a “unique american food”, to me.
I’m also in Chicago at the moment, so I made sure to try a proper (real?) Chicago deep dish pizza (loved it, by the way).
Alternatively, any other suggestions of food to try?
Immediate edit - turns out Wendy’s is in some locations in the UK. I just assumed incorrectly!
Thanks for all the suggestions!!
A hamburger from a non-chain, or small chain restaurant with rave reviews is often an incredible experience.
Do NOT go to In-N-Out, Five Guys, Shake Shack, etc… I know people rave about chains, but they are seldom going to be as good as the smaller guys. Just get your reviews from Google maps, and make sure they are 4-5 stars with hundreds or thousands of reviews.
Chains are more consistent, but Indies have more potential to be great. More potential to be terrible this week too, but more potential to be great.
