American Cuisine

Maui Mikes

Maui Mikes, they are truly finger-licking good.

Classic American food has to include fried chicken, barbequed ribs, steaks of all sorts, hamburgers, hot dogs, pancakes, waffles, seafood, jambalaya, bacon and eggs and, of course, homemade apple pie, Mom's preferably. There are more of course, but what America might be most famous for is the variety of ethnic foods that are in the 50 states.

From Italian to Greek and from Brazilian to Japanese and from Europe to Africa and Russia to Australia, there are restaurants featuring the cuisine of the population of the country. So what is American food? It's the varied cuisines of the entire population. Today the most popular ethnic cuisines in the U.S. are Mexican, Italian and Cantonese Chinese.
