Burgers, hot dogs, BBQ ribs, fried chicken, mac and cheese, and chili con carne. For sweets there are pancakes, cheesecake, brownies, and pies. American food is a mix of influences from all over — and above all, easygoing.
What should I make for a cookout?
Burgers and BBQ ribs are the classics, with coleslaw, baked potatoes, and corn on the side. Finish with grilled fruit or homemade ice cream.
What is an American breakfast?
Hearty and sweet-and-savory — fluffy pancakes with maple syrup, eggs and bacon, French toast, or an egg bagel. The kind of breakfast that keeps you going till lunch.
How do I make a really juicy burger?
Start with beef that's at least 20% fat, shape the patty gently, and salt it only when it's headed for the grill or pan. Above all, don't press it with the spatula — the juices belong in the meat, not in the fire.
