I had signed up for a bread making class but they cancelled due to scheduling issues. I would like to set up a sourdough though, i prefer my bread fermented.

The Waldorf Astoria hotel has a $125 all-you-can-eat brunch buffet. I'd like to try it out sometime.

Upstate is really beautiful a lot of people don't know this. I travel up there for work on occasion a lot of our scenic shops are up there because the space/rent. I sometimes stay at a farmhouse of one of the owners of the shops it's so freakin cool..it's this big old rustic farm house with an old fashion huge country style kitchen. Just roll out of bed drink coffee on a porch and then go paint all day. It is so peaceful.
They convert the old barns and storage places into these huge shops.

McDonald's is an American chain though, right now American food is global food due to America's cultural reach.
Note also that European cuisine as we know it would be virtually inexistent without foods native to the western hemisphere: chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, eggplant, squash, tomato, potato, corn, bell pepper, avocado, peanut, cashew, pineapple, blueberry, etc.
Barbecuing comes from aboriginal populations of the Caribbean, does that count? It's very much a traditional American food technique, and if you've ever been to a BBQ truck festival, you'll know it's awesome.
Soul food is developed by African Americans.
I'm a fan of certain gluttonous foods like chocolate chip buttermilk pancakes, and ice cream with extra flavours in it.
Here's a traditional thanksgiving meal:
You're missing the ham, being an American in Canada, people look at me so weird when I tell them I'm eating ham on thanksgiving

I like the cranberry sauce, the sweet potatoes, the pecan pie, and of course the turkey.- Reaction score

No wonder 'Muricans are so fat. This is traditional Norwegian food, come here if you want to lose some weight.
Sheep in cabbage, that's literally what it's called.

good points @Afro_Vacancy . i was going to say burgers as a highlight of american food but i didn't know if its basically considered a global food now (if there is such a thing? lol). kinda like how ramen is basically poor american food and not japanese food anymore.
@Dante92 @Dench57 i'll continue with my recommendation of the burger restaurant "five guy's" then. if you guys come to america again i STRONGLY recommend it. not a sit down place either so pretty cheap. i have plebeian taste. i'm literally looking forward to eating some hot and spicy ramen i got.

My bad man, I thought I read "traditional American thanksgiving meal"
I've actually never tried pecan pie, there's just like 50 pumpkin pies on our table on thanksgiving

No, you're right, ham is important, it's just relatively invisible to me due to my priorities.
Pumpkin pie is very good too. It's also cheaper to make than pecan pie: no pecans, no maple syrup.
One of my priorities the past few months was to perfect my pie crust, there's some science to it. I've gotten a little better at it, I was doing a lot wrong before.

For a chain Five Guys is really good.
I dont like Burger king or Mcdonalds--but I have to say Wendys is not a bad burger...there bacon double cheeseburger and fries is not bad.
i grew up with Greek Diners on every few blocks serving great burgers and 'disco' fries. yum. Noting like a diner burger and fries with mozzarella cheese and brown gravy at 4 am. after the clubs
Except maybe White Castle LOL

yep. i eat chain foods all the time. wendy's is top of the line among rock bottom cheap restaurants. and five guys is as good as some sit down restaurants i've had.
i havent had many sit down restaurant burgers but theyre usually really good. i've always wanted white castle ever since seeing harold and kumar though LOL
