As much as that sounds feasible, have you ever watched "man vs food"? American cuisine is awesome. It's just the greediness part that sometimes spoils it.

I lived in the US (Florida). It was very poor quality as a rule. Even the better restaurants were nothing special.
The Publix chain of supermarkets weren’t good. Bread was, well, not worth buying for instance.

I have a French friend and he can't understand the concept of American bread. I showed him a picture of a loaf of bread and he said "WTF is that?" basically. He was horrified when I informed him that we keep it for more than a week sometimes. (The French often go buy bread in the morning every day).

I guess good food isn't universal to all States.

I think the best food (and bars) I’ve seen was in Chicago. SF wasn’t up to much. NYC was “ok”. Boston wasn’t so good though fish and chips in Maine was not bad. I can’t recall food in Seattle.

Either you have much higher standards than me, you just happened to never eat somewhere that wasn't sub-par, or you're only counting food that's distinctly and entirely "American food", and given you've listed so many densely populated locations with relatively high tourism I'd be surprised if it's not the second or third of those.

The best food across the major cities of Canada and US in my experience are the ones within those immigrant communities that speak little to no english. The restaurants that use napkins for dinning clothes and possibly look like they should have been closed down for ungodly reasons. It's the ones that come for a new life without a diploma or degree but a family recipe in their back pocket is what I love.

Man vs food seems to show that barbecue country is best.

Everywhere seemed like BBQ country in that show!

I’ve seen the gluttony show before. How he’s not died from a heart attack, I don’t know.
I expect he’s diabetic nowadays.

Ya, I lived in Florida too. You are right about Florida. NY and California, even Texas are better for food.
