ok what USA food should I def try this time being in PHX?
 

Ive had

twinkies
peanutbuttercups
hotdogs (nathans)
corndogs
american pancakes
all kinda burgers
oreo cookie shakes
sloppy joe

and a shitload of candy but thats not real food. You can tell Im a real health freak, so what else should I def try I cant get here and dont wanna miss?

thanks :thumbsup

when you landing? I arrive early 25th

Don't we have a date for foie gras?

Little smokies
Indian fry bread taco's or just fry bread drizzled with honey
Actual Tex-Mex food and not the chain BS.
Properly booked buffalo
Arby's roastbeef with plenty of horsey sauce and some bbq.
Authentic slow cooked BBQ, look for beef in that region.
Fried chicken
Virginia picnic ham (I'm sure you can get it in Phoenix)
Moon pies
Country fried steak and gravy (and if your lucky green beans where the bacon and bacon fat outnumber the beans)
A bottle of vodka and the sonic's drink menu or just the drink menu
Fried balogna (must be the hand cut thick shit with the plastic red wrapper and not Oscar Mayer packaged crap)

Well thats like at least a days worth as long as you do not start at the bottom first. Oh and you mentioned hotdogs, honestly every city seems to have its own specialty so always try one where ever you go.

25th late visiting friends in the area - ill be at the palms the 27th early

thats not American food, thats junk food.

Come down to new orleans and have some authentic American seafood cooking or something, but please dont consider that fatty food "USA Food"

I havent touched a twinkie or anything like it it in years and many Americans do not at that crap.

If you can find funnel cake, that's a must. They mostly just have it at carnivals around here, though.

thanks :thumbsup

elephants ear - indian fry bread I had that totally forgot bout that
fried chicken had that
arbys offcourse :)
tacos al pastor in a real mexican place (at van Buuren nice area lol) had that

moon pies ok have to google that, buffalo never had that either

thanks :thumbsup

I love southern style food, we have that but I bet its nowhere near the original. Always had layovers in the south but never went there, actually I have so many skymiles I was just saying I can get a ticket and go there this summer :thumbsup

Tried a good chili yet? As in no beans and just red sauce and meat. Ok a green chili is acceptable too.

that looks like deepfried almost like the dougballs we have for new yrs eve but theyve got raisins and powder sugar

I had the indian fry bread nice but damn greasy

Buffalo style chicken wings

actually no

I had taco bell the first time I went to AZ totally ruined my taste for texmex, yr later a friend took me to a real mex place so I know its pretty nice food

but never had chill, is there a place that sells decent chili? I know Mills Ave has a Chillis but thats prolly not the best

You can find mexican food on every corner. :thumbsup

whats buffalo style? I just know the hooters ones :)

Arizona is probably a really weak place to get a good taste for US food. although i can't say for sure.. you'd be better off visiting SF on NY as they'd have a very good selection of great food here.

See, here ia another thing new orleans is known for.

cafe Du Monde beignets.

http://www.cafedumonde.com/

World Famous beignets ;)

Just sent some family traveling through here home with a box of em

yeah still the best I had was in the worst area of Phoenix, its always like that you have to go into the crap neighborhoods to get traditional food

I love tacos al pastor and the weird milkshake alike drink they have

wow thats almost identical of our appelflappen (apple flaps) - they come with apple cinnamon and raisons powder sugar some with cherries, I wonder if thats american and we just redid that to some dutch recipe

nice thanks

I know they say french or french style weird enough they barely sell sweet stuff like this in France

Those are Buffalo style wings but just awful. None of the wings at the pizza chains are any good either IMO. The restaurant "Buffalo Wild Wings" makes a really good chicken wing if there is one in AZ.

i've found this to be true too

A chili's does not serve chili if that makes sense, or at least not any good chili. Its an icky chain.

My best bet would say ask a local or find a real BBQ place as they may have it, with an emphasis on may.

On another note I am very fond of chile reneo's.
And stay the hell away from places like taco bell, those types of places are not indicative of actual cuisine.

hmm theyre just in flagstaff mesa n all shame, yeah most chain food is crap, I went to peter piper once even left the place horrible

oreganos isnt too bad I went to Grimaldis at the scottsdale old town last yr that was pretty good

So true

I got a granola bar at the airport $1.99, Taco Bell meal was $1.99 as well, that says enough. I had one bite and threw it away.

Ok plenty of BBQ places Ill ask thanks :thumbsup

Betcha someone at the hotel would know where to get good wings.

I would guess that drink was horchata. It is a rice based Mexican drink.
There are a crap load of different taco's too. Al pastor is just one meat type. You just need to know that if they fry their taco shells you are in the wrong place.

yeah I went to China Town in NY some months ago got Roasted Duck was amazing, the guy said do you want rice too I have to say its another 60 cents lol

amazing food had a lot and it was like 15 bucks unbelievable

Oh man I've had some delicious meals in China Town. was there about 3 years ago. Hit or miss but great when you find them.

horchata k ill remember that I liked it thanks

no hard shell here I hate that its messy to eat too

I wish I could have taken pics in that mexican place in PHX but it was the worst area ever, dealers outside cop before the door but the food was amazing

Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies
Cajun Boiled Peanuts

DutchTeenCash,

When I was in NL a few months ago I tried bree, honey and almond flakes on toast. It was in one of the restaurants around the square from the Krasnapolsky. Is that a traditional Dutch breakfast selection?

two trips in one *cough*

no

its something belgium/french style and made up, french cheese is eaten after the meal in France never during the day or for lunch

its

soup
entree
main
desert
cheese

we have nothing for breakfast - coffee thats it, the 50 course breakfast you get in the Amsterdam hotel is just for the tourists and since they charge 40 bucks for that no dutchie does that

nice

there are so many pies and cakes that Ive never heard of before, our pastry is totally different. Oatmeal ok ill try that thanks :thumbsup

Seems like " USA FOOD " is mainly finger food ....

Shortage on ustensiles ?

Now that's what I'm talking about yum. Jambalayla, gumbo, alligator. I love New Orleans.

trays
plastic tableclothes
waitresses on Nikes

Im used to it and dont mind at all. Besides there are dutchies too who drink the bowl with water and lemon youll get on the table to clean your fingers :winkwink:

Is there such a thing called USA food?

well we dont have Twinkies :winkwink:

Since you'll be in Phoenix, no better place to try fried rattlesnake
