Thought I'd ask this because I want to discover more foods from across the world

(Also I shouldn't have to say this to americans, please state where you are from and state where you are from without acronyms or shortened names because I've seen US Defaultism on lemmy and not all of us are going to know your acronyms considering we're global users)

Do you mean local like within my own city or regionally/by country?

Countrywide: Hotdogs are the first thing I think of when I think "American food."

Statewide (California): The sour dough bread bowls at the San Francisco wharf are amazing as fuck.

In my city: The best thing here are taco trucks. There's even a whole dedicated parking area for a bunch of them to gather downtown called "Grub Hubs."

I almost mentioned the sourdough bread bowls because SF is known for their sourdough and those are tasty.

It’s really tourist food though. The local soup is Cioppino but I never see it served in a bread bowl.

There's not a lot of things I'm envious about when it comes to the US

But good and cheap tacos are one of them
