As odd as this may seem to anyone not from here (USA) when it pertains to our food, "Fuck you America" is up there with one of the best compliments you can give us. It's music to our ears! 😂💜
facts
Yeah, I get a fair number of international visitors, and "what the fuck" is pretty common. It's a symphony.
The best thing about food choices in America....you can literally find ANYTHING! There are so many various cultures, you have unlimited choices. We even have fusions of multiple cultures...like Vietnamese/Cajun. 🇺🇲🌎
@@djholliday4413 First time I ever heard about Vietnamese culture in Louisiana was a Matlock episode and years later on TH-cam. I don't remember his name but there was a young Vietnamese-American guy showing food from a local Vietnamese/Cajun mom and pop restaurant. The food looked delicious. Especially, the fried chicken.
@@lisasmythe3826 Vietnamese-Cajun fusion food is amazing. They both utilize seafood and spice. I live in TX. Texans love Cajun food.We are not far from LA. We have a lot of Vietnamese-Cajun cuisine. Houston is so diverse, you can find any food from around the world.
I’m from Philly and whoever said that is setting you up for failure, you never supposed to go to Pats or Genos, they’re tourist traps. You need to go to Dalesaandros, Pagonos or Max’s.
That's what I was thinking too! I live about an hour and a half from Philly (near Baltimore) and my friend told me to go to Pagonos if I wanted a real one
iMO Cleaver's is the best steak and cheese
Jim’s roast pork
yeah pats and genos are average af.
Jims steaks is my fave
Not sure when Daz has had lobster that was too salty, but if you just get a lobster and boil it, it’ll be sweet.
I've heard that Maine lobster is sweeter and more tender. I've only eaten lobsters from Maine so maybe I'm used to it. The Mediterranean is also saltier than the Atlantic so maybe that's where they get their supply.
@@jariemonah either that or it's simply the way it was prepared, some butter sauces have to much salt in them.
I like the use of John Brown as your profile photo.
More people need to react to videos like this. Americans have got to level the playing field before WWIII. 🦼
It's better to steam the lobster instead of boiling, the meat doesn't get waterlogged. Alton Brown did an episode of Good Eats years ago about Lobster and the best method for preparing.
If nothing else, We eats good in America. LOL
Better than the rest of the world for sure aside from Italians and Mexicans
@@puebloking8280 that’s cause America is the most diverse country but I’d say Indian or Greek gives Italians a run for there money 😂
@@marleyabd1729 ya but we also invented many foods in America.
@@greenmachine5600 yea y’all invented lots of foods based on other cultures 😂
@@marleyabd1729 almost all haha
There’s probably entire videos about Louisiana food. Soooo many unique foods were made there because of how unique the culture is in Louisiana.
Besides where I'm from I tell people the two states, hands down has some of the best food I've ever eaten is Tennessee and Louisiana. My nephew use to play for the New Orlean Saints. When we went to visit him he'd take us out to eat and ever single thing I ate in Louisiana was AMAZING.
thats what everyone thinks about from where ever theyre from
I’m from Louisiana and it’s true. We got foods and desserts from different cultures that are just common to us and to other people they never heard of it
Cajuns may spell words like go in weird way but they can cook
@@bossaotroniosgames5400 this is true 😂😂 cooking is natural to us as well
I'm from Chicago. I think you're thinking of Italian Beef sandwiches, we dip those and they are one of our staples
From Chicago as well and yep its Italian beef with a very thin gravy
Or a French dip.
@@tallmunchkin868 that’s the one ..French dip sandwich
I'm from Chicago and I moved to Georgia a year ago. The things I really miss is good deep dish pizza, Italian beef sandwiches, rib tips and good Chicago style popcorn.
I was thinking French dip
Dave looks like a father staring at his newborn when he sees food he likes
You guys should travel to America and do vlogs eating your favorite foods here lol like a man vs food “British version “
French dip is the sandwich you’re talking about with Au Jus sauce that you dip in our pour over
Invented in California
I think he's referring to an Italian Beef sandwich which is a Chicago sandwich that gets dipped.
@@aaronrodriguez1226 same crap
@@bagelj it is definitely not the same. italian beef is seasoned differently than the beef used for a French dip, usually comes with giardiniera on it, and the sandwich is actually dipped whole into the jus. it's like a French dip, but with flavor.
@@chriswright8114 it is the same it comes with the same crappy au jus sauce. I don’t care about the spices and shit
Normally I wouldn't like to hear "FU America" from anyone, but watching the guys' faces react to our food makes the FU acceptable. I think Dave is going to need a pair of sweatpants during his America trip.
He will pack on some pounds, or kilos as they say.
As a New Yorker, I can't argue against the pizza as our iconic food, but I light up every time you say "buffalo wings" since that originated in Buffalo, NY which is a (long) stone's throw away from my native city, Rochester. Pizza and wings, a legendary combination to represent NY
585 rep. Don't forget our garbage plates.
@@efogg3 Oh absolutely, gotta love the garbage plate!
Yes the Anchor bar in Buffalo has great wings. Also La Nova in Buffalo wings are awesome
Hey Austin hows things going there? I'm from BKLYN but not there at the moment.
I grew up in Florida, my hub is from PA..
We can rarely find good pizza here.
There is 1 place that is real Italians and the pizza is the best around here.. but it's still not what we are wanting.. the new York pizza ya'll have if what we are looking for.
If you guys ever come to the US, a chain that sells a great cheap steak is Texas Roadhouse. They're all over, not just in Texas.
Didn't the guy just a have suicide? Their steaks aren't horrible, but not great, but at least they get a rare steak right unlike almost anywhere else.
Rudy’s is good
If you come here to go to a Steak house, there are a ton in NYC alone that are better than Texas Roadhouse. Sparks, Peter Lugers, Smith and Wolenskis, Gallegers, Rosie O’Gradys Ben Bensons and more.
Being from Alabama the sauce we put on the chicken is made with heavy mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, pepper, paprika and sugar. Some versions even contain lemon juice or Worcester sauce. In fact I actually live one county away from the restaurant that invented it, Big Bob Gibson Barbecue in Decatur, Alabama.
I love white sauce so much
Ah shit, I love Big Bob's so much. Just you mentioning it makes me want to make the long drive from Starkville, MS to Decatur
I love Bama white sauce on a pulled porked loaded baked potato
@@aliciajames8038 omg YES!!
The sandwich you're thinking of dipped in gravy is the Hot Beef in Chicago. The gravy is VERY thin, more like a French aus ju
Not a hot beef, Italian beef.
The Blokes would probably love Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" from Food Network
I think Here in America, the reason we end up with so many different good foods is we tend to embrace some different foods and tend to then put our own spin on it, for better or sometimes worse.
I worked at Giordano's (the place where the deep dish pizza in this video is from) and as servers we had to do the cheese pull for every table, it was taught in training.
my favorite deep dish, Lou's is my second
As a Wisconsinite, it hurts me to know so many people don’t know the joy of cheese curds
West coaster here. Cheese curds are awesome. Deep fried, or on poutine are the two best ways IMO.
East coaster (Florida) here, I need to try cheese curds now, lol. They look great!
I'm from America and I didn't even know what a cheese curd was haha
We have them in Chicagoland
I love cheese in whatever form!!!
The video top 25 most beautiful national parks in America is breathtaking. The Grand Canyon pictures dont do it justice. Also, do these videos make anyone else want to go to every state and try these or is it just me?
I'm from NJ, and nobody eats that saltwater taffy crap. That's grandma candy for tourists. Pork Roll, Egg and Cheese on a hard roll or bagel is our famous sandwich. It's gotten me through many a hangover. We're also the Diner State.
Office blokes always love your guys's reaction you knocked this one out of the ballpark I never thought somebody saying F U America would make me feel proud and it put a smile on my face and what you guys saw its just tip of the iceberg there's a lot more great food
"over the weekend I had avacado with salmon and poached eggs." Glad to see the revenue stream from this channel is doing well =)
That statement made me hungry.
I'm from Michigan, those 13 fudge shops are on Macinac (pronounced Mac-in-awe) island
went to a bunch of them there, and in Holland
I'd say Coney Dogs would be more popular than Mackinac Island Fudge, perhaps.
Dave said he doesn't like doughnuts 😳 🤦🏻♂️ Krispy Kreme doughnuts my friend...
Office blokes try Krispy Kreme. Let's see what you have to say then 😎
I'm from California and we ain't that crazy about avocados yes we grow the most, but quite frankly when it comes to our favorite food you can go with street tacos burritos sushi even cheeseburgers would've been a more viable option.
Facts
Shrimp tacos is kind of a uniquely California thing
I assure you that you can find shrimp tacos anywhere that sells tacos.
@@danielscott3386 facts but they are fire
they always do us Californians so dirty in these videos, like they said our best sandvich was in n out in the last video
🧀Living now in Wisconsin I attest to deep-fried cheese (squeaks) with a great dipping sauce.
Gotta be beer battered!
The best! Wisconsin is America's best kept secret. Love going there. Great everything from the landscape, the food, the festivals, the football!
I live in New Jersey. Taffy hasn’t been a state food for over 30 years. What the state food is the famous pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich. And the Fat submarine sandwiches that has every food combination you can think of that include french fries in it.
Sounds delicious, aren't there grinders out there also?
@@edwarddore7617 we call them either heros or submarine sandwiches or subs for short. Depending if your from north or south New Jersey
The fudge in Michigan is really more of a tourist treat. Why pasties aren't #1 for Michigan on this list astounds me. Can't remember the last time I ate fudge but I did have a pasty for dinner last week.
Peanut butter and chocolate fudge ftw 👍
Insider Foods youtube channel is notorious for being terribly uniformed.
Yup... Nothing beats a Pastie with beef and Rutabaga with a bit of catsup.... Reminds me of fall colors in the porkies. (Porqupine Mts)
i grew up in michigan (holland) and i never heard of a michigan pastie until i moved out of state for college. michigan doesn't have a state-wide representative food.
Honestly... What I think Michigan is known for are our "Coney Island" restaurants and loaded coney dogs. Overall "diner-esk" comfort food. However, what I like about Michigan is our diverse culture due to Detroit being a major immigration port back in the day. As such, I'd say that you can get a little but of the "best this or that" in Michigan. Not to mention, our "Detroit style" pizza.
Not really into reaction channels but you guys are actually very genuine and funny dudes. Just subscribed
Agree… I started liking them but then people got so stupid with them and just wanted a channel just to get people to like them… these guys are a real adult version of this. They’re not acting stupid and over the top. Just three guys chilling.
I’m with daz when he said “what are you on god” blue cheese on wings are absolutely delicious
I wish I could just sit down and have a beer or ten with you guys! I swear I rewatch alot of your videos every few weeks because of how genuine you lads are!
There are 3 things America does better than other nations:
1) War
2) Unhealthy, but delicious, food
3) Insane and dangerous sports
We honestly do a lot of healthy food better too.
I'd have to say that the Japanese outdoes the US for insane and dangerous sports.
We’ve declined on war since Ww 2
@@robertk2007 Yeah. We don't do it better, just more often than anyone else. We took England's place as the world police after WWII.
@@ofallmyintention9496 It's a position that's becoming increasingly economically and politically unattractive. Coupled with the fact that we've finally become energy independent and no longer reliant on foreign oil, I'd expect this Pax Americana global order to break down soon enough. No more US navy to patrol international waters means a return to rampant piracy and regional conflicts. Any nation without its own navy to protect trade is a nation that's not going to last much longer.
You three are single handedly the best TH-cam page period! Good times and laughs. Cheers from Canada!
Spent 3 weeks in Chicago, I came home more pizza than man. It's so good.
Wait, does that mean that Lone Starr and Barf owe you 1 million space bucks?
(Yeah, ok, that joke may be a bit of a reach)
can you imagine those of us who were born there? It's in our DNA
@@geoffreyreuther5260 wasn't a reach, that landed perfectly.
Where did you get pizza from?
Lou Malnati's is the best!!
Dave, you're thinking of the Italian Beef sandwich from Chicago, which you can get wet (a little gravy over it) or dipped (where they dip the whole sandwich in the gravy). It was in your video The Best Sandwich in Every State.
Chicago has the Italian beef which you dip in gravy.
More specifically a very thin gravy
@@darrenrossler5538 - It's Au Jus.
@@JHNielson4851 it probably is
I'm not sure how fudge or doughnuts are over there in the UK, but if you ever go to the U.S. go to a Kilwin's their fudge (among others things) are amazing. Also, almost ever city you go to has their own local doughnut shop, they're definitely worth the try and some have a lot of variety of flavor profiles.
I love ya'lls channels always entertaining
The sandwich you're thinking of is a "French Dip". Similar roll to a Philly Cheesesteak with sliced beef and cheese. Typically, you either get a cup of beef broth/gravy to dip it in as you eat it, or the top bun can be dipped in the gravy beforehand. Not sure where it originated, but you can find them semi regularly across the US.
Pat's, Geno's, and Larry's are the three most famous cheesesteak shops in Philly.
They’re tourists traps. Any Philly native will tell you to avoid Genos and Pats.
He's definitely talking about Pat's.
@@erikhoffman5659 Well, where the hell do I go? I've only been to Pat's and Geno's.
@@christonacracker5905 Jim's South Street
@@christonacracker5905 my personal favorite is pagonos, but you have to go to a bunch and see what ya like. They’re all different in their own way.
Been hoping for this video for a while
Thinking the sandwich you are thinking of is either Chicago's Italian Beef sandwich or a French Dip sandwich
This is for the bachelor that cooks at home. Want to cook a crisp crust pizza like the brick ovens in NY, even if it's a frozen pizza?
Here's what you do.
Go to the hardware store and buy four 12"x12" unglazed terracotta floor tiles.
Put those tiles on the grill of your oven.
Preheat the oven.
Put the pizza on those hot tiles and bon appetit!
Thank me later. ☺
Want to mention for Florida, the best Cuban Sandwiches are Miami specifically. If you aren’t in Miami (like me) and are near any of the coasts (like me), you need fresh catch of the day. We get a lot of fresh fish caught out on our beaches brought it and cooked less than 24 hours later. Grouper is almost always amazing, but so is the Mahi Mahi and Tilapia.
The Alabama white sauce is mayo, apple cider vinegar, sugar, garlic, horseradish, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.

Lexington BBQ in North Carolina doesn't use cole slaw, they use what is called BBQ slaw. Instead of mayo base it is a ketchup base slaw. It goes well on burgers, hot dogs, venison, and pork BBQ.
Love my bbq sammiches with cole slaw. Vinegar based for me. Also love my Carolina dogs and burgers
Rhode Island, home to the famous Hot Weiners and Stuffed Clams. Lmfao never even thought about that, gotta love my home state
i have been preaching this to people of all countries. FOOD TRUCKS ARE YOUR FRIENDS. food trucks are popular here in america too and if you dont travel much to get different amazing homecooked cuisines you HAVE to get food trucks every now and then like Greek on then Street or the TexMex truck etc. i get philly style cheesesteaks here in Maryland because of food trucks run by philly guys that know their shit and do it well.
5:07 sweetbreads arent testicles, big difference between testicles and thymus glands
You beat me to it.
🙃 You know your balls..
I looked it up when he said that and it seems that some people do use sweetbreads to mean different organ meats, including testicles.
@@alexanderthegreatest1781 sweet meat lol
Sweetbread is brains, right?
Never had it, always wanted to.
I am about as stereotypical American as you can get. Love hunting/fishing/farming/shooting/and of course proud of my heritage and believe in rugged individualusm.... But I love watching you guys review American stuff. Food included. - Godspeed from the Midwest.
I have a crapload of mulberry trees/bushes in my yard, lol. Would love to do something with the berries someday.
In Minnesota they have one of the most unique burgers you will ever have. They have a burger called the Juicy Lucy. It is two 1/4 pound beef patties pressed together with a giant mound of cheese in the middle.
Rochester, MN here. They're amazing...just have to be careful to not melt your face off with that cheese!
And if you are smart you won't pick sides in the bar war over them
I was in Minneapolis a few years ago and went to Matt's Bar. Best burger I've ever had.
I thought that thaws was what was going to be shown in the video.
I went to a place called The Nook, amazing, huge burgers, I'm from the Chicago suburbs.
Oh lord you gotta try an Ohio Buckeye ~ I’m not a fan of peanut butter but those things are delicious!
Oh please try Rocky Mountain Oysters 🤗! That would be an amazing reaction video!!
It would be an absolute failure if they did and no one said "this tastes like balls..."
@@geoffreyreuther5260 You know it 🤣😂! I myself had never tried Rocky Mountain Oysters, but living in Colorado have taken many friends that come to visit to a bar called Bruce’s in Serverance CO. It’s famous for its Rocky Mountain Oysters, and have been there for years! They sell T-shirts that Of course had to buy for anyone I took there, that say “ I ate Balls at Bruce’s” 🤦♀️🤣!
I'm from Wisconsin and it's crazy how big Cheese and Cheese Curds are here. Love both myself and have the belly to prove it. You can literally buy bags of fresh cheese curds at gas stations here for a road snack. My favorite is Cheddar Cheese Curds covered in Garlic and Dill. Amazing!!
"You're a fudge packer aren't you Dave?"
lmao, I guess that has no negative meanings over the pond
23:50 Now there’s an honest reaction. “JESUS CHRIST!”
I'm tired of hearing about salt water taffy in Jersey, its popular in 2 places, Atlantic city and Wildwood, Jersey is more famous for their pizza and Italian subs
Facts bro. But the answer is pork roll. No getting around it.
@@emilbackes yeah, you could definitely add pork roll, but I'd still say pizza and Italian subs, we are definitely known for our pork roll, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches
@@emilbackes I think you mean Taylor Ham
@@allisonhall3872 I think you mean pork roll
@@allisonhall3872 Taylor ham hasn't been a thing for 100 years
The fudge part!! Did he call ol boy a "fudge packer" and he was like yea!?!? 🤣🤣🤣
10:00 You might be thinking about the French Dip sandwich. One of my favorites!
There's an argument whether Chicago's deep dish is a pizza or not, mostly between New Yorkers and chicagoans, doesn't matter to me because it's delicious either way, you should watch John Stewart's rant about it, it's hilarious
Its not new york vs Chicago, its Chicago vs everywhere else
@@turkturkleton2671 don’t worry. The delusions do eventually go away.
Jon Stewart is entitled to his opinion, but it's easier to get New York pizza than Chicago style here in Texas.
Deep dish is a true pizza pie, think about it... now I want some Giordano's or Lou Malnati's
Lived in Nebraska for my 31 year old life and I've literally never once had chili and a cinnamon roll together.
It's a neccesity in North dakotan winters
I grew up in NW Iowa and it was definitely a staple on school and home menus. Savory and sweet! But then I never tried a maid-rite until I was out of college either so I might just be an outlier.
I live in Illinois and we always had a peanut butter and honey sandwich with our chili in school.
As an Alaskan I can say Alaskan King Crab is absolutely amazing. Unfortunately with everything it’s now up to $72/a POUND
Beef french dip is a beef roll buttered and usually has greens inside and you dip it in the au ju meaning natural juice or gravy
You guys have to do more TRY video’s🙏
I think you guys should open a restaurant and serve Chicago deep dish, Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and some of these dishes that you can’t get there. You would probably make a fortune!
Italian beef sandwiches are ones to pour or dip in gravy.
The sandwich youre talking about I think its french dip sandwiches. I love those. They are roast beef sandwiches that you dip in aus ju made from the roast beef drippings.
The TH-camr who makes these state food videos think that the only food in the state of Georgia is a peach. The state desert was a peach pie, the states most iconic food is....a peach pie. I bet the state sandwich is the peach pie sandwich and the favorite drink will be a peach pie smoothie.
I like the silence after mike answers the avocado questions 😄
My family is Mexican so avocados are always in the house.
Chili served with a peanut butter sandwich was real popular in school back in the 70s. I never went for that but chili with a toasted cheese sandwich is fabulous!!
I'm in Chicago, and the sandwich that you dip is an Italian Beef sandwich. They sell them pretty much everywhere here.
The best wings in the US come from our local bars.
The French Dip sandwich is sometimes dipped in "gravy" or au jus.
the sandwich he’s asking about with the gravy is called a french dip, its a super popular in the LA/Southern California area
A Ruben is one sandwich you dip in a watery gravy/ broth.
There is a sub type hot beef sandwich you do this with as well but I can't recall the name of it.
This person has never been to Georgia. She just knows that it’s the peach state
It's like they just googled each state and put the first result. To put some states with just candy and desserts is insulting. We don't eat that everyday.
@@jariemonah Yeah, I rolled my eyes with Washington and coffee. Cliche. It's also not a damn food, it's a drink.
No self-respecting Louisianan puts corn or any other vegetable besides sautéed onion, celery and bell pepper in gumbo. Gumbo is either chicken and smoked sausage or seafood-shrimp and crab. And gumbo is only one of the fantastic meals to come out of Louisiana. Louisiana rules in the American food world.
Chicago Italian beef is the one that comes dipped at wriggly field. The French dip sandwich is the one that comes with gravy on the side. So there two sandwiches that have a sort of gravy. One come at you wet and hot. Another is beef and cheese with au jus
The sandwich you are thinking of in Philly is the the Roast Pork sandwich were you dip it or they dip it. Just so you know or want to try it Dinic's in the Reading Market is the best imo. It won best sandwich in America before so its pretty good lol.
I live in Chicago and don’t know a single person who eats deep dish
You mean who doesn’t eat deep dish?
@@bradhansen8506 nah, definitely a tourist thing
I live in Chicago and eat deep dish like once a month
Not too many people are fans of casseroles, if you want one, just make it at home.
I'm glad you call it Deep Dish, and not Deep Dish Pizza.
It isn't pizza. It is bitch lasagna.
Sincerely,
All New Yorkers. ;)
dave you are on about the italian roast beef sandwich with roasted peppers, dipping it in gravy is called double dipped :) looks amazing
Marion berries are a cross between a raspberry and a blackberry. They have a VERY distinct flavor profile.They have a real thick and deep rich sweetness to them..... They taste nothing like any other type of berry out there! I am really not a fan of berry products, but when we go to Oregon to visit relatives.....I always bring back tubs of them from my relatives property where they grow them. My sister orders them to be shipped to Northern CA where we live each year so that she can make jams and jellies from them! You really have to try and order some preserves, you won't be disappointed....I promise you!
You actually have access to a pretty good Philly cheesesteak place in the UK. It’s a Philly sports bar called Passyunk Avenue in London. It’s named after Passyunk Avenue in South Philly and is run by someone originally from the Philly area, so they try to get the ingredients as close as possible. Mozzarella sticks are pretty good as well. I don’t know the exact address but I believe it’s located on Cleveland Street.
I’m new to this channel and I absolutely love it !!!! Good job boys ... and I’m from NY and we have the BEST food period 😋😋
I used to work in a fudge shop and both of my managers would send me home with the reject batches. That, plus the fifty minute drive home was a nightmare for my weight. 😅
We also made buckeyes, because Ohio. They’re usually more of a holiday treat for us though.
Office Blokes- check out Rochester N.Y. '' garbage plates''. And pile it on!
Pair that with our sister city Buffalo N.Y. and get the buffalo wings!! Winner every time!
The sandwich you dip in 'gravy' or au ju (juice?) is my favorite - the "French Dip" - seasoned beef sliced thin, on a hoagie roll, a mild cheese like provolone, some onion and green peppers...the au ju soaks into the hoagie and it is to die for!
Chicago is deep dish pizza AND Italian Beef (dipped is really popular). Portillo’s is pretty famous for their Italian Beef.
Montana huckleberries are phenomenal. They're special because as far as I know, they've never been successfully grown commercially. They're only found in the wild so you have to hike in to spots to fid them and pick them by hand. Makes them very expensive.
12:30 I'm from Michigan and we definitely have more than 13 shops in the state.
When one of you said you are disappointed with British pizza, I’m not sure if you can buy the raw pizza dough at your local pizzeria, or bagged at your grocery, but spread out the dough on a round or rectangular pan/ cookie sheet, top it with your favorite sauce and toppings, then toss it in the oven. So simple and good.
Great content, blokes!
Dave - I think the sandwich that we dip in au jus that you're talking about in Chicago is Italian Beef. In Chicago they like em dipped (or soaked) with cheese and hot peppers!!!!!
When you talk about food being deep fried you have no idea bros lol here in Texas, especially at the HLSR we deep fry EVERYTHING. 💯
Just a quick note about the "13 fudge shops" thing. That's all on one island that's roughly 10 sq km in area. The island is known for it's fudge, as well as being almost completely free of cars save for emergency vehicles. It's a popular vacation destination in the state.
As for what other foods we like, here are a few other favorites from across the state:
Detroit Style Pizza: A deep dish pizza with dough similar to focaccia, baked in a square pan with cheese intentionally burnt onto the crust.
Coney Island Hot Dog: A Hot dog topped with Chili, mustard. and onions. Most popular on the east side of the state.
Beer: Grand Rapids, Michigan's second largest city, is known as one of, if not the best, beer cities in America. The West side of the state isn't very interesting, but at least you can get drunk.
Cherries: Traverse City in the upper Northwest of the lower Peninsula holds the Cherry Festival every year. The area is the largest producer of tart cherries in the country. There's even a chain of stores in the area called the Cherry Republic where you can buy Cherry flavored foods like Pie. Cookies, James, and even Peanut Butter, Coffee, and Root Beer.
Pasties: The Upper Peninsula is known for eating Pasties. Pretty much the same stuff you'd find in England as far as I understand, though I've never had either to compare.
If you come over here and want a INCREDIBLE steak dinner, forget about "Outback Steakhouse" on their BEST day, they're mediocre & are for tourists and yolkes. If you wanna try Next level steaks, go to a "Ruth Chris Steakhouse!!"
As a general rule HATE chain restaurants, we live in San Francisco & have hundreds of restauranta to choose from (with a few exceptions) but, holy smokes and Geewhiz!! Ruth Chris is so freakin' GOOD!! The only reason we even went there in the 1st place is because, my partner and I forget to make reservations for the Holidays and were suddenly w/o anywhere to go for dinner. They had 1 reservation left, it was for 11:30 am, so we took it. When we left we got home & made another reservation for later that same month. We've been loyal customers ever since. Try the 22 .oz Cowboy ribeye steak! 🥩 Fuggin' AMAZING!!
Dave's noises from 17:05-17:19 are spot on about enjoyin a New York slice of pizza or a lovely gal. Can't go wrong!!
The Hot Brown is wonderful. It’s a great way to use up leftover turkey
Come to Ny! Especially Brooklyn + Queens you’ll get to experience all kind of culture’s foods
