I am currently visiting the USA, and before I leave I want to try some food that is “uniquely” american - IE, you can’t really find it outside of the country.

UK stores do tend to have a “USA section” which has a small amount of sweets and other products. But I am wondering what americans specifically missed / couldn’t find in other countries.

As an example - Wendy’s as far as I’ve seen, isn’t local to the UK or at least where I live. So trying that was a “unique american food”, to me.

I’m also in Chicago at the moment, so I made sure to try a proper (real?) Chicago deep dish pizza (loved it, by the way).

Alternatively, any other suggestions of food to try?

Immediate edit - turns out Wendy’s is in some locations in the UK. I just assumed incorrectly!

Thanks for all the suggestions!!

    ~3am. 6-12 beers deep. You’re gonna want to stumble into a waffle House.

    Since you’re in Chicago if you want to make sure there is a fight in the waffle House I would advise wearing a packers jersey and loudly talking about how Aaron Rodgers is the greatest quarterback that ever lived.

    That should give you an authentic American dining experience.

        It’s Chicago so statistically he would get shot with an unregistered firearm that was illegally acquired by a felon.
