Food in the USA – Prices
America is the land of immigrants and every nation living in this area has contributed something, in many cities we can find entire neighborhoods of immigrants, in which we can eat dishes prepared not worse than on their native land. The hallmark of American cuisine is steaks, burgers and barbecue ribs. Here they taste best. For a steak in a middle class restaurant such as Applebee’s, we will pay between $ 12-20, depending on the size and type of steak. Barbecue ribs cost between $ 12-15. Water is free everywhere. America is a country of fast food and we will find the most food here. The king of fast food is a burger. The cheapest fast food is of course McDonald’s. The menu looks very similar to the one found in Europe. The restaurants themselves are, however, neglected and decorated to a lower standard, the sandwiches are the same size as in Europe, drinks can be added as many times as we like. For two Big mac sandwiches in promotion price we will pay 5$ .

The best in our opinion, the network of burgers is Smashburger. we ate there several times in various states and it was always delicious, except for Smashburger in New Orleans where food was stuck away from standard quality, besides in New Orleans there is much better things to try with a local sandwich called Po-boy or gumbo soup headed by.
