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!!
I am told by everyone I know that Real Chili is an iconic Milwaukee restaurant. However, I get food poisoning literally every time I eat there. I think they've been shut down by the health inspector several times, but they seem to be in business right now.
I agree with other posters: go to any diner, Denny's, Perkins, or Waffle House and order their largest breakfast. You don't have to eat it all.
I lived in Milwaukee for three years and literally never heard of Real Chili ๐
