If you ask people outside of the United States what American food is all about, they will most likely say things like burgers, hot dogs, baked potatoes and steaks. But certainly the American melting pot has created a cuisine that is as rich and diverse as its people. While traditional American menus still include staples such as meatloaf, fried chicken, butter-poached lobster and apple pie, at the best American restaurants from coast to coast you will find globally minded chefs who draw from a wealth of inspiration: farm-to-table, local and sustainable, and, of course, regional flavors. This could mean huckleberry risotto in the Northwest or Kentucky bison short ribs with locally ground grits in the South. Enjoy, it's all born in the USA.
