American cuisine...isn't that some kind of oxymoron? A food court does not constitute actual food.
And as for Arby's or Wendy's etc those places are a one way ticket to heart disease. I remember reading the family breakfast on the menu; 12 eggs, 16 link sausages, 24 slices of streaky bacon, biscuits (?), hashbrowns, 2 sliced pans and a gallon of coffee and juice. Great value but you'd need life assurance with it.
Also any food served in a bucket should be reserved for animals on a farm.
I did enjoy lots of nice grub in New Orleans, Savannah and Baltimore. Beans, rice, meatloaf bison, crab claws.
But for the most part it's essentially burgers and pizza right? Fat Sam would love it.
