National

Our country tis hungry – and we know exactly what you’re looking for.  Whether it’s the top pizza pie in the purple mountain’s majesty or the best Burgers among all the Amber waves of grain, we’re covering the most mouthwatering meals in the entire U.S.  America is big, diverse and hungry – we’re ready to show you just how big, how diverse and how hungry our beautiful country can be.  

On top of visiting as many places as we possibly can, we dig through some of the best data we can find to see what the country is saying on social about its favorite things to eat.  One thing we’ve noticed – everyone loves brunch!  With huge increases in search around brunch over the past decade, more and more Americans are making a point to set aside that 10-2 window on a Saturday or Sunday.  We’ve looked around the country and found the best brunch spots in America and the most popular brunch spots in every state.  

In addition to a good brunch, American loves some red meat.  The steakhouse is one of the few quintessentially American approaches to cuisine, with a focus on the finest proteins available and mouthwatering sides to match.  Great cocktail menus, sexy decor and high-end service are all consistent across the best steakhouses in the country.  We cover the United States’ best steakhouses in our blogs.

The African diaspora and slavery are part of America’s history, like it or not.  But one of the few silver linings of this racial past is that Black people have influenced American cuisine as much as any other cultural group in America.  African-American soul food and Southern traditions are a key part of food culture, influencing every meal from breakfast, brunch, and lunch, to dinner and dessert.  We do our best to put a spotlight on some of the best black owned restaurants in the country and will continue to highlight other black owned food businesses in our coverage.

Another issue America has progressed from over the years is its views of Cannabis.  Recreational Marijuana is legal in 18 states, including Washington, DC and Massachusetts.  Cannabis has been big business for states where it is legalized, bringing billions of dollars in revenue per year across the country.  As states have begun experimenting with looser laws around the potent plant, food-based businesses have entered the picture, looking to infuse THC across all sorts of culinary approaches.  We covered 69 (heh heh) of our favorite cannabis-themed restaurants in our lists.

While the country has its issues around health – certainly the cannabis doesn’t help when it comes to weight loss – younger generations of Americans are adopting vegan and vegetarianism, along with more active lifestyles, to improve their health outlook.  But there aren’t always as many options as some of these diners would like.  That’s why we’ve covered some of the country’s best, healthy restaurant chains in our coverage – just because they’re ubiquitous, doesn’t mean they can’t make something good!

Below is a list of the most appetizing cannabis themed restaurants in America.
