    I'd 100% call that bus a "50's-style diner" While they may well have **had** them in the 80's [and they were popular back then], they were very much, I think, modeled after a retro "50's" look/vibe.

    You were right about a Louisiana restaurant not having Louisiana food. It needs to have file gumbo, jambalaya, etouffee, po'boys, boudin, andouille sausage, blackened catfish, oysters, crawfish, bread pudding, beignets, coffee and chicory, etc. And a lot of other Southern classics can be mixed in too.
    I understand that sourcing the fresh seafood might be harder in an inland area such as Germany, but there's a lot to work with to have true Louisiana food. The Louisiana restaurant looked more like generic American food with Tony Chachere's thrown on everything.

    My teenage sons and I were in Germany in April and one night, it was late and we just wanted something quick and easy for dinner. We went down the street from our hotel to a burger place called Jagoub's. A total middle eastern place with Arabic music videos blaring on the tv, but holy cow, their burgers were some of the best I have ever had. Big burgers too with jojo fries and different kinds of sauces for the fries that were delicious - sehr, sehr, sehr lecker!!! My boys and I loved this place and the people there were so nice. I was skeptical at first, but super surprised at the quality and quantity and even the price of the food. It's on Landsberger Straße near Donnersbergerbrücke. If you ever do an American food video in München, you should go to this place. Tschüß!!!

    Wow finally I have something educated to contribute - I was finally in Memphis TN and went to Central BBQ and was sorely disappointed by their ribs, very dry. Wonderful smokey sauces though, all kept warm, so you take what sauces you like and they stay warm to dip your bone-dry ribs into. Like Phil, I like a juicy rib.
    The best thing I had in my southern food tour was Gus's chicken in Southhaven, Mississippi.

    I generally agree with Deanna's idea that you don't need to go to a certain place for a given specialty, you can make it anywhere. But I think you should maybe add the following caveat: as long as in addition to the right ingredients, skills, and equipment, the chef/cook has eaten the actual honest-to-god version in the place it originated, so that they know how its SUPPOSED to taste.

    SE Southerner here. “Pulled beef?” Any Texans want to comment on this? Pork is normally the “pulled meat” in SE southern bbq. And an excess of sweet sticky sauce covers what people work hours to put into the meat.

    The reason it's not called a chicken burger in the United States is due to the fact that burgers defined as ground beef that is possibly seasoned or unseasoned then grilled or pan seared then place between a two buns with toppings, anything that is chicken related is purely described as a sandwich as Americans deliberately and obstinately will refuse to call it a chicken burger, unless and you're stretching the definition at this point the chicken is ground seasoned or possibly seasoned then place between two buns with toppings

At least I don’t know anyone that does 🤷🏻‍♀️ In regards to tea I am like you Deana I like unsweetened and sweetened. Just depends on the flavor. If it’s like mango or peach I don’t want it sweetened because the fruit itself is sweeter. The original black tea I want sweet! 💕

    In my part of America, a burger has to be ground meat formed into a Patty and then cooked. If the chicken is not ground up before cooking but left hold then it is considered to be a chicken sandwich

    As a Louisianian (New Orleans), the Louisiana restaurant made me sad. The only thing on the menu remotely related to the state would be Cajun fries. And what is "Chester" cheese?

    Being from New Orleans, the options on that Louisiana menu are...not terribly Louisianian. Maybe there are some dishes from the cajun area that aren't as well known here, but if you say you have cajun/creole dishes, then bare minimum you should have Gumbo, Jambalaya, Red Beans & Rice...if you want to get a little more serious, have some Seafood (Shrimp, Crawfish) Étoufée or something that starts with a roux.
    We went to a "New Orleans style" restaurant in St. Louis years ago, and while they did have our traditional dishes on the menu, they tasted like they were cooked by someone who had NEVER made those dishes before...hardly any seasoning or spices...it wasn't fun.

    The burger/sandwich thing. All burgers are sandwiches, but not all sandwiches are burgers. Burgers are more a description of the meat in a sandwich, so the meat makes a burger a burger not a sandwich. In order to be a burger, the meat needs to be ground or minced, then shaped into a patty. So its possible to have a beef, chicken, turkey, elk, bison, or fish burger. The meat just need to be ground then shaped.
