North America, and it only takes one dish to claim top spot.

The Philadelphia Cheesestake

I could list a host more of real American food that is great, but you can't beat a classic such as that

EDIT: before judging, trying a cheesesteak outside of the philly area is generally a bad idea unless it is home made from an expert like me

100% Agree with this

The Philly Cheesesteak is the greatest food dish ever invented. 

And to everyone saying they have the best pizza is wrong unless you are talking about Chicago Style pizza.

New York disagrees with you chump.  Bring it!

Asia. Chinese and Japanese food to be specific. I still remember the taste of those Udon Noodles in Tokyo.



Oh, as for my cuisine rankings... (some may be forgotten)

 

1)American style BBQ/Pizza... I get a feeling not many people outside of the US have had a taste of really good US BBQ.  It's up there with anything.  Good reason to put Memphis on a must visit list for foreigners wanting to get a good USA expiernce.

Kids in the US love summer because of summer break from school.

Adults love it because it's grilling season... and it's REALLY hard to get a good accurate grilling represented in a restraunt.

2) Mexican

3) Chinese

4) Ethopian

5) Indian

6) Japanese

7) Spanish

8) Hawaian

9) Italian

10) English

11) Polish

12) Thai

13) German

14) Korean

15) French

16) Vietnese


Really been meaning to try Brazillian and Armenian lately but haven't had the budget for it.  Should mention i'm not a seafood guy,



Europe of course. Has anyone tried Spanish food? Paella, tortilla de patatas, jamón ibérico, pulpo a la gallega, fabada asturiana, cocido, calamares...

Seriously.  Sometimes I feel like other cultures see it as lower or something, but I doubt they've tried the good stuff like you say.  N.A. FTW.

Well to be fair... the places most peopel visit, you can't get good BBQ. 

New York?  Good luck.

California?  Actually, I should put California on the list i did above... well near the bottom as they seem to bland up everything.   Even the Pizza is thin as paper and lacks a proper amount sauce.

Texas has some decent BBQ.


Some areas of the country though, or if you just know the right person...  BBQ can be amazing.  Well done ribs or a pulled pork/beef sandwhich?   Isn't anything better in my opinion.  

Espiecially if with the sandwhich you throw some well made coleslaw on top.

So in your opinion Tennessee is the place to be for bbq? Makes sense, but good to know. Yum. 

......Pulled pork/beef sandwhich....*drools*

But hey, for pizza my New York does it right!  ;)

To be honest, i'm from Ohio, really like the different BBQ's i've had there.

I've just had so many people overwhelmingly talk about the mastery of BBQ in Memphis that I had to mention it as the top place.

Haven't met one person who's gone there who doesn't think it's the best place for BBQ, including food critics.

Apparently nearly any hole in the wall is supposed to have BBQ that rivals pretty much anywhere in the country... which is another problem really.  The best BBQ restruants aren't run by world renown chefs.  They're run by families who have spent generations perfecting their own art style and sauce.

It's less like how normal cuisine works and more how like... Japanese sword fighting dojos or something work.

One of these days I want to go down there during the World Championships.
