This category will be comprehensive merely by proxy. Born and raised in the southern United Satates, and working for more than 25 years in reastaurants in the US. Has no doubt have given me a wealth of knowledge in this category. Here you will find all those delicious grandma recipes. And of course the gourmet dishes from many years in the restaurant circuit. In my time travelling outside the US a single dish always seems to be the most requested when someone asks me for a recipe.
A cheeseburger seems to be the dish people outside the US most identify as to be uniquely American. I recently struggled with that revelation as a Korean gentleman was intent on me teaching him how to prepare a cheeseburger. It just seemed so, well, understood. Every backyard chef, and holiday cook in America knows how to cook a cheeseburger. And there it is. I learned a very valuable lesson that day. Nothing is ordinary. A cheeseburger in all its simple American glory, is foreign, mysterious, and even unknown to someone, somewhere. So here I will try to do my homeland justice in giving the world both the simple, and the complex aspects of Regional American cuisine.
