A couple of corrections: Tex-Mex should really be along with Middle-American; Brazilian is its own thing, and I would place Bar-B-Que under American every day. Also, Chinese is a collection of widely different cuisines, and all are different from Japanese or Korean. Other than that - fascinating data and nice visualization.

The data is from Yelp not OP. BBQ not American is weird to me as well. Not sure what your clarification about Chinese is regarding, they are sorted differently and grouped geographically as east Asian just like French and Italian are European. Same with Brazilian

Well barbecue comes from some carribean natives originally, plus there is korean barbecue, south african braai, etc. it's certainly very popular in america, but a bit more widespread than cheese grits and rhubarb pie :)

I’d guess those would be classified more by their area of origin than “bbq”. Even tho you are right

Agree, and I wasn't clear enough - OP did state that they used Yelp data, so the classification oddities are Yelp's.
