American Food

I eat a lot. Ultra fast metabolism. Won't stop.

Don't dare it--mine did. Trying hard to get that mojo back.

Fried clams - just fantastic:

How aren't they all dead? Only in america would a fat guy be celebrated for how much he can scoff. Actually, it's probably not only America, as we seem to like MVF too.

Was in NC for a month and put on 12 pounds.

only 12? Then you didn't try hard enough

Green bean casserole

Dinner on the grounds after the sermon.
Add some fried chicken, potato salad, mac and cheese, corn on the cob, banana pudding for dessert.
Be good, or you'll go straight home.

It's Clark Griswold's greatest triumph. Food science, lid.

If he only gained 12 lbs, he was actively trying NOT to gain

YESSSSSSSS... This is proper, this. Good bacon ratio.

Far too many ways this thread could go. Really, needs to be threads on BBQ, Tex-Mex (need @obc's input on what this is called outside of Texas), Southern food (@RAFUH and @mezzrow can handle this), Cajun food, ... well, it's a long list. What else has been mentioned? Holiday fare? Fair food? Ballpark food? Burgers (hot dogs in this category)? Grilled food? Sea food? NY Deli style? Pizza?

My favorite sandwiches:
The Special at Darrell's (Lake Charles, LA)
A burger at Louis' (Gainesville, FL--sadly now closed)
Smoked meat sandwich at Schwartz's (Montreal, CA--this counts because it's "NY Style")

Also try: chicken fried steak, fried catfish

Petco Park (San Diego Padres) has the best stadium food I've ever tasted. Nearly $20 for a Sam Adams and hot dog, but man it was great.

I shall have to try when in San Diego! I've also seen a huge ice cream dessert served in a plastic baseball helmet but I can't remember which team it was now.
