American food, how should we define it really? I have never been to the USA so I can’t be a good judge on what really constitutes good American food except that it should involve steak, lots of fries and a big portion! Save from the big portion part (to cater to the local’s portion) , I have found a restaurant that serves a hearty steak and generous amount of fries with reasonable prices. Also, if a name like Kennedy’s doesn’t scream American enough, I don’t know what would.
