Forget McDonald’s and KFC and experience the essence of American fast food culture

When it comes to the national cuisine of the United States, everyone will think of fast food culture. In fact, most of the fast food familiar to the world today is American fast food as the mainstream. People often think of American fast food as a burger, fries and milkshake (or Coke). In fact, as an amalgam of cultures, American fast food restaurants are quite liberal and inclusive. Besides American fast food, there are also Chinese fast food, Mexican fast food and so on.

American eating habits are quite unhealthy. It is an inverted triangle pattern. Breakfast is simple, lunch is filled with sandwiches, green salad, hot dogs, pizza or hamburgers, and dinner is the biggest. But the so-called “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, to the United States, it is inevitable to adapt to this way of eating, if you are students or immigrants, conditions of course to “do it yourself, food and clothing”; But for a short trip, experiencing the essence of American fast food is a rare travel experience.

When you’re in the US, don’t go to McDonald’s, KFC, Burger King, or Subway. It’s like eating out with your friends and ordering hot and sour shredded potatoes or scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It’s not a good deal. Every state in the United States has its own fast food brands that locals love so much that it’s really cool to eat them.

In this installment, we take a look at popular American fast food brands.

In-N-Out.This fast food chain is a household name in California, recommended to me by my American friends, and is also very popular in Nevada. In-N-Out has served food at Academy Awards dinners several times, and Ang Lee was photographed tucking into it.

Unlike McDonald’s frozen patties, the restaurant’s ingredients are freshly prepared and sold on site, and the In-N-Out kitchen where Mr. Mouse goes has a see-through window where you can see exactly how it’s made. The popular fast food chain only has three types of burgers, fries and drinks.

Take a trip to California and you can get it In all the cities, as well as In-n-Out locations in Nevada (Las Vegas), Utah (Salt Lake City), Texas (Dallas) and Oregon (Medford).

The burger joint once surpassed In-n-Out as the best burger In the United States in consumer surveys.

They call their burgers Charburger, and freshness comes first. I highly recommend you try his BBQ Bacon burger and beef guacamole sandwich.

Slater’s 50/50.

The chain’s interiors are typical of gourmet restaurants, with a bar, a resident host and a TV on the wall to watch sports on the go. The restaurant’s flagship burger is made with 50 percent ground beef and 50 percent bacon, plus guacamole, soft-boiled eggs, cheese, mayonnaise, which is a large portion and is also loved by many customers.

In addition to the main beef bacon burger, there are beef sausage burger and so on, all made in 50:50 order, in addition to French fries, sweet French fries, fried chili, onion rings, macaroni cheese balls, and must have the signature bacon Bloody Mary, to enhance a simple meal!

Jack in the Box.

The first store opened in San Diego, California. The chain is a common sight on the side of the highway. The name of the store means that the dolls pop out of the box unexpectedly and surprise people. The Jumbo Jack, Ultimate Cheese Burger and Sourdough Jack are on the small side, along with sandwiches, salads, Taco, Chinese rice and beef tenderloin.

Taco Bell.

The United States is very close to Mexico, so in addition to the Chinese, there are a lot of Mexican people, and of course, the food is also a lot of Mexican characteristics. Taco Bell is the largest Mexican restaurant chain in the world, you can see it everywhere in California, and the taste is very authentic. Taco with beef, chicken, vegetables, etc., with Mexican Salsa sauce, guacamole, hot sauce, taste great!

Jamba Juice.

Jamba Juice is a household name in California, where many call it the “Starbucks of milkshakes.” This chain features fresh fruit and vegetable juices without added sugar, color, preservatives or spices. Besides smoothies, you can also pair them with ice cream, yogurt, soy milk, fruit and vegetable salad, etc. If you see this, you should order a cup.
