Illustration by Ryan Olbrysh for TIME (Source Images: See bottom of page) _To mark the 250th anniversary of the United States, TIME asked 25 of today's most noteworthy chefs, restaurateurs, hospitality moguls, and culinary voices to tell us about the dishes that they believe speak to the nation at_ [_this pivotal moment_](https://time.com/article/2026/06/15/trump-rally-america-250-anniversary-celebrations/)_. From unique fine dining offerings to timeless basics and updated classics, their answers are, taken together, a thoughtful menu of ways to_ [_see America now_](https://time.com/collection/our-america-250/2026/)_._ ## **Fried chicken gizzards and grits at Virtue in Chicago** **Selected by** **Kwame Onwuachi** There’s something meaningful about a dish that can honor the past while confidently shaping the present. The fried chicken gizzards and grits by Erick Williams at Virtue is made with pride and intention. It speaks to a broader shift in American culture that values heritage and what deserves to be celebrated on the plate. _Onwuachi is a chef, restaurateur, and author. He recently opened Maroon in Las Vegas, and his next cookbook,_ All Hours: Crazy Good Food for Whatever, Whenever_, will be published Sept. 22._ ## **The smashburger** **Selected by** **Nick DiGiovanni** Crispy laced edges, two thin patties, American cheese, a soft potato bun. The [burger](https://time.com/4342423/national-hamburger-day-history-origins-inventor/) has been a national favorite for more than a century, but the smashburger is something different—a regional diner method that spread through screens and set the new standard. It makes me optimistic about how people can come together, inspire each other, and innovate, even on the classics. _DiGiovanni is a chef, YouTuber, and judge on the Food Network competition series_ 100 Cooks.  Lew Robertson—Getty Images ## **The hotdog** **Selected by** **Alton Brown** The most American of all foods is...the [hotdog](https://time.com/4381554/hot-dog-history-nathans-coney-island/). No, correction, the hotdog isn’t American; it is _America_. The hotdog was born of multiple old-world traditions, flavors, and influences. Its popularity grew alongside the rise of urban sports stadiums, during the [Industrial Revolution](https://time.com/7339628/geoffrey-hinton-ai/), and the [baseball](https://time.com/7291541/kim-ng-softball-ausl-interview/) games they were built to house. What’s more, it couldn't really exist without the large-scale mechanization that America is known for. No other food even comes close. _Brown is the host of the YouTube series_ Alton Brown Cooks Food _and the touring live event_ An Evening of Alton Brown. ## **Beans** **Selected by** **Sohla El-Waylly** For most of American history, [beans](https://time.com/7275007/beans-surprising-uses-recipes-health-benefits/) were poor people’s food, which meant they were everybody’s food, except the people writing the cookbooks and running the magazines. The last decade's “discovery” of beans by food media, wellness culture, and [climate](https://time.com/article/2026/06/18/top-10-percent-global-consumers-biggest-climate-impact/) advocates is really just mainstream America finally catching up to what immigrant and working-class kitchens never stopped knowing. No ingredient better captures the contradiction at the heart of this country: Something that fed everyone and got credit from almost no one is now being celebrated loudest by the people who ignored it longest. _El-Waylly is a chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, and YouTuber._ ## **Chicken and waffles** **Selected by** **Marcus Samuelsson** Born out of Harlem’s late-night [jazz scene](https://time.com/7273135/preserving-jazz-america-essay/), this combination reflects a uniquely American moment in which cultures, rhythms, and traditions came together to create something entirely new. That balance of sweet and savory, breakfast and dinner on one plate, mirrors Harlem’s, New York’s, and [America’s diverse food history](https://time.com/5349518/southern-food-culture/) that continues to be shaped by a blend of different cultures and influences. _Samuelsson is a chef, restaurateur, and TV personality._ ## **The elk machaca with fermented onions at Ursa in Tucson** **Selected by** **J. Kenji López-Alt** At Ursa, Chef Aaron Lopez’s menu is prepared entirely from Indigenous North American ingredients, including elk, barrel cactus, desert ironwood, and screwbeans. In a country whose food culture is so often framed through [immigration](https://time.com/article/2026/06/15/the-resurgence-of-bracero-logic/) and adaptation, it feels deeply meaningful to see chefs like Aaron, or Sean Sherman of Owamni in Minneapolis, helping restore Native ingredients, [traditions](https://time.com/2809992/photos-native-americans/), and perspectives to the center of the American story 250 years after the nation’s founding. _López-Alt is a chef and author of_ The Food Lab_,_ The Wok_, and_ Every Night is Pizza Night_._ ## **Slow-smoked brisket** **Selected by Terry Crews** What makes brisket so uniquely American is its versatility—it can be served traditionally as [barbecue](https://time.com/3874080/life-fires-up-the-barbecue/), but it also finds its way into tacos, stews, and countless other cultural interpretations. That ability to evolve while bringing people together feels very representative of where American culture is headed. _Crews is an actor and the host of the new Food Network competition series_ 100 Cooks.  dbvirago/Getty Images ## **Fried chicken** **Selected by Carla Hall** Fried chicken reflects both where we’ve been and who we’re still becoming. What started as a Southern staple now shows up in restaurants and kitchens everywhere. Nashville hot, Korean _yangnyeom_, Japanese _karaage_, West African spices: each one tells its own story, invites curiosity, and often leads you to someplace new. Every version carries the complexity of who we are and the joy we find in understanding and appreciating one another. In that way, fried chicken becomes a gateway to other cultures and cuisines, and that feels like America. _Hall is a chef, author, and TV personality. Her one-woman show,_ Please Underestimate Me_, premieres in June at the Olney Theatre Center in Maryland._ ## **Pot roast** **Selected by** **Erin O’Brien** Pot roast reflects so many cultures and traditions that make up this beautiful and diverse country. Versions of it can be found in Mexican, Irish, Italian, Jewish, Southern, and Midwestern kitchens, making it both deeply personal and universally familiar. And as my mom taught me, it's also a meal that evolves, because [leftovers](https://time.com/3957492/a-brief-history-of-leftovers/) can become tacos, burritos, quesadillas, sandwiches, or soup the next day. That adaptability and constant reinvention feel quintessentially American. _O’Brien is a digital creator (@erinnobrienn) and cookbook author; her new cookbook is_ Dig In! ## **The pastrami Reuben at Eric Greenspan’s Mish in Los Angeles** **Selected by** **Duff Goldman** [Neil Diamond](https://time.com/5113859/neil-diamond-retire-parkinsons-disease/) sang a song called “America” about what this country means to people leaving hardship and looking for a future for their children. His story is my story and everyone else’s. We all came here and shared the food our people eat, be it ramen, carne asada, _Soondubu Jjigae_, or a Reuben. The one from Mish in L.A. represents what my people shared with America—and, let’s face it, a good Reuben is pretty spectacular. _Goldman is a television personality, cookbook author, and the executive chef of Charm City Cakes in Baltimore._ ## **Viral, “new-stalgic” desserts** **Selected by** **Christina Tosi** As a baker with a sweet tooth, I love watching [dessert](https://time.com/5528667/dessert-healthy-diet/) virality these days—the Chocolate Crunch Cake, the Dot cake, and beyond. We want it all, right? Highly glossy, insanely gooey, outrageously crunchy, chocolate to the max. We want something that's simple, low pressure, uncomplicated, but also something that makes us excited, gives us hope, and offers newness and an avenue for self-expression. We want something we can eat with our eyes, then share with our spoons. We are little sparks, looking to light up life with these tiny moments in our day. Dessert is an opt-in course, our reprieve from the rest of the seriousness of life. We want more of it. We need more of it. I am here for it. _Tosi is the chef and owner of Milk Bar._  rebeccafondren/Getty Images ## **Bowls** **Selected by** **Padma Lakshmi** It’s not very glamorous, but the dish that defines America right now is “bowl food.” I think the reason people love the bowl is because it encompasses exactly what’s wonderful about American food, which is this microcosm of the world’s flavors, due to our immigrant culture. You can have a poké bowl, a taco salad, a rice bowl. That rice can represent many different cultures: Asian, Gullah Geechee, Latin, etc. And on that, you can put _anything_, from fajitas to falafel to Korean tofu. It speaks to how much we don’t just eat one thing in this country, and how our [cuisine](https://time.com/8515/what-the-world-eats-hungry-planet/) doesn’t have a fixed canon of established dishes. It also signifies our capitalist system, where everyone’s always busy and on the go. _Lakshmi is a television personality, producer, author, and activist. She hosts_ America’s Culinary Cup_, streaming on Paramount+._ ## **Jamaican meat patties** **Selected by** **Ruth Reichl** Jamaican meat patties have been creeping slowly into the American diet since the ’70s, mostly as fast food at delis and bodegas. (I first tasted them at the race track.) But in the last year, with the sudden interest in the foods of the West Indies, they have started gaining respect. You can still find them on street corners and in the frozen food aisle, but big-deal chefs are making high-class versions. And why not? They’re the perfect food for this moment: handheld, easy to eat, stuffed with vibrant spices, and wrapped up in colorful pastry. _Reichl is a chef, author, and editor. She publishes the_ La Briffe _newsletter on Substack._ ## **Gumbo** **Selected by** **Emeril Lagasse** Gumbo is a true “melting pot” dish of Louisiana and the American South that represents many different traditions and cultures coming together to create something new. It combines French, Spanish, African, and Native American ingredients and culinary techniques, all in a flavorful, thick soup using a variety of seafood, poultry, game, meat, and vegetables. Gumbo is constantly evolving, and that’s part of what makes it such an important American dish. For me, it’s always been about honoring [culinary history](https://time.com/7323420/civil-rights-food-history/) while taking things to the next level with creativity. _Lagasse is a chef, restaurateur, author, and TV personality._  Claudia Totir—Getty Images ## **Tacos** **Selected by** **Edgar Rico** Tacos tell the story of who we are: layered, mixed, evolving, immigrant-built, and unapologetic. They came from Mexican roots, but the U.S. made them explode into a language of regional identity, from Texas barbacoa to L.A. _al pastor_ to Baja fish tacos, and beyond. They’re the great equalizer. Rich or broke, construction worker or CEO, Americans have a divine affinity for the taco. A taco can carry memory, migration, survival, celebration, and creativity all in one tortilla. That’s the American story on a plate! _Rico is a chef and co-owner of Nixta Taqueria in Austin._ ## **Chicken Country Captain** **Selected by** **Mashama Bailey** This dish originated in the South along the coast of Georgia and South Carolina. We define our cuisine at The Grey as “Port City Southern,” and this dish is a perfect example of that, with its curry, eggplant, and okra. All these ingredients tie to the spice trade and the [African Diaspora](https://africa.time.com/cover-story/diaspora-investment-africa-idris-sabrina-elba/). This one-pot dish is truly a blend of many cultures that represent America and the American South. _Bailey is a chef and cofounder of The Grey in Savannah, Ga., and L’Arrêt by The Grey in Paris._ ## **Fried chicken sandwich** **Selected by** **Junghyun Park** Rooted in Southern tradition, the fried chicken sandwich has become a canvas on which different cultures meet and evolve. When approached through a New Korean lens, it can carry the layered flavors that are central to Korean cuisine, while still remaining familiar and accessible. In that way, it reflects America today—a place where [diverse immigrant influences](https://time.com/2973809/immigration-diversity-smarter/) come together, creating something new without losing their identity. _Park is the chef and co-founder of several New York City restaurants, including Atomix, Atoboy, and Naro._ ## **The pierogi at Veselka in New York City** **Selected by** **Daniel Humm** Most cultures have some form of a dumpling. One form I always find myself coming back to is Veselka's potato pierogies. More than 70 years old and still run by the same family, Veselka is a testament to the hard work it takes to run a restaurant. New York City is defined by its cultures, after all, and this iconic immigrant-owned restaurant—and its pierogi—is a perfect example of that. Its [bringing back 24-hour service ](https://www.timeout.com/newyork/news/hooray-for-3am-pierogi-veselka-will-once-again-be-open-24/7-starting-on-this-date-040926)is an encouraging sign that all-night energy is finally coming back to the city. _Humm is a chef and owner of Daniel Humm Hospitality._ ## **Slow-roasted chicken with market vegetables and homemade sourdough bread** **Selected by** **Meredith Hayden** Many people today are pushing back against [hyper-processed food](https://time.com/6245237/ultra-processed-foods-diet-bad/), algorithm-driven convenience culture and the corporatization of everyday life. The renewed interest in farmers’ markets, home cooking, sourdough, gardening, dinner parties, and local agriculture reflects a broader desire for something more grounded, participatory, and human. A simple roast chicken with local vegetables and homemade bread embodies this shift in that its value comes not from novelty or efficiency, but from time, care, and presence. _Hayden is a chef, cookbook author, and the creator of the lifestyle media brand Wishbone Kitchen._  Alla Tsyganova—Getty Images ## **Oysters** **Selected by** **José Andrés** The past, present, and future of America can be represented by the most simple, incredible food that comes with its own biodegradable package: oysters. They have been eaten on this continent for many centuries, even before America was America, and are truly versatile—raw and cooked, fried or grilled, or made into soups and stews and ketchups. And they are one of the most environmentally sustainable foods of all time; they clean the waterways and leave the world a better place. Can't we all hope the same for humanity? _Andrés is a chef, restaurateur, humanitarian, and author of the new cookbook,_ Spain My Way: Eat, Drink, and Cook Like a Spaniard. ## **Harvest chicken** **Selected by** **Cat Cora** My harvest chicken, made with grape, pine nut, and balsamic salsa, captures America today: fresh, vibrant, and shaped by global influence. Rooted in Napa Valley yet inspired by Mediterranean flavors, it reflects a culture that values seasonality, diversity, and the blending of traditions. In a moment of complexity, I believe [food](https://time.com/article/2026/04/29/climate-impact-one-weekly-vegetarian-meal/) remains our most natural unifier. _Cora is a restaurateur, the first female Iron Chef, and founder of Chefs for Humanity._ ## **Two slices of bread** **Selected by** **Dan Barber** The first [bread](https://time.com/article/2026/06/15/is-bread-actually-healthy/) is made from modern hard red spring wheat, which was bred for the roller mill and white flour. It’s the result of American agriculture having narrowed thousands of wheats into a handful of commodity varieties optimized for scale and industrial processing. That’s the same logic that exhausted the Great Plains, helped give rise to the Dust Bowl, and left us with bread that tastes strangely lifeless. The second bread is from a new wheat variety bred for fresh milling called Blue wheat. It represents breeders and farmers—and [bakers](https://time.com/5944075/home-bakery-success-covid-19/)—who are fighting back, not with old heirloom varieties that are expensive and difficult to grow, but with an enviable yield per acre. Like our country, the industrial food system is only a few generations old—young enough to be reinvented. _Barber is a chef and co-owner of Family Meal at Blue Hill in New York City and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Pocantico Hills, N.Y._ ## **The first foods of the Americas** **Selected by** **Sean Sherman** We’re launching a restaurant rooted in our simple philosophy: remove the colonial ingredients introduced by European settlers and return to what has always been here: corn, beans, squash, chilies, sunflowers, game meat, wild plants, fish, and seafood. Our goal is to shift how people understand “American” food, and to make visible what has always been its foundation: the rich, diverse foodways of [Indigenous cultures](https://time.com/7336457/indigenous-futures-cherokee-identity-beyond-loss/) across this continent, predating colonial borders. _Sean Sherman is an Oglala Lakota chef, forager, and founder of The Sioux Chef and North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems. His newest restaurant, Indígena by Owamni, opens this month in Minneapolis._ ## **Hot pot** **Selected by** **Natasha Pickowicz** Is there a better dish to define the freewheeling, inventive, anything-goes nature of the American mindset than hot pot? This endlessly customizable meal symbolizes the full range of human consumption, from frugality to full-on debauched excess. There’s a reason why hot pot goes viral on social media again and again—it’s a visual spectacle, made for the lens just as much as the stomach. Best yet, once seated at the table, hot pot aficionados and novices alike bump elbows and jostle over bites; becoming best friends feels more an inevitability than a coincidence. We're social creatures, desperate for connection and to get off our screens, and interactive, communal dining, especially hot pot, just feels like a good idea. _Pickowicz is a chef and author of the cookbook_ Everyone Hot Pot_:_ Creating the Ultimate Meal for Gathering and Feasting.  baibaz—Getty Images ## **Ice cream** **Selected by** **Brooks Headley** The world is terrible right now. Everyone everywhere is sad and angry. So my advice is to acquire some [ice cream](https://time.com/6112416/ice-cream-pandemic/), stat. Ice cream is unnecessary. You do not need it to survive. Eat enough of it and you’ll get fat and die—same as with anything else worth overdoing. But for a relatively small amount of money, it delivers one of the purest and most democratic pleasures left in American life. A single scoop of vanilla done correctly still feels almost spiritual. A taste of somebody’s overly ambitious seasonal flavor—sweet corn, black raspberry, tortilla, whatever—can briefly restore your faith in human endeavor. We’ll even count Italian ice or, as the Philadelphians insist on calling it, water ice. What matters is that these frozen gifts remain one of the few pleasures still broadly available to almost everybody. Kids understand this automatically. Adults? We need to be reminded. So, go stand in line. Get your scoop (or two). It’ll melt faster than you can eat it, so for the next five minutes, your only responsibility in the world is to prevent it from shellacking your hand. And that, these days, is a noble pursuit. _Headley is a chef, musician, cookbook author, and owner of Superiority Burger._ _Illustration Source Images: Cate Gillon—Getty Images; Claudia Totir—Getty Images; d3sign/Getty Images; Oksana Schmidt—Getty Images; Daniel Lozano Gonzalez—Getty Images; Justin Tsucalas, food styling by Lisa Cherkasky—Both for The Washington Post/Getty Images; fcafotodigital/Getty Images; Cavan Images/Dorene Hookey/Getty Images_ 25 Dishes That Capture the Flavor of America Today ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collection/our-america-250/2026/food-and-dishes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collection/our-america-250/2026/food-and-dishes/"},"headline":"25 Dishes That Capture the Flavor of America Today","datePublished":"2026-06-25T12:08:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-07-01T17:43:04.962Z","description":"Brooks Headley on ice cream, Kwame Onwuachi on fried chicken gizzards, Padma Lakshmi on the bowl—and 22 other arguments for the food that speaks to the nation on its 250th birthday.","url":"https://time.com/collection/our-america-250/2026/food-and-dishes/","keywords":["Our America"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf03524c24b52517d/6a3c5438569a2f7ef2c54d63/Food_250Art-(1).jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[],"creator":"Time","articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf03524c24b52517d/6a3c5438569a2f7ef2c54d63/Food_250Art-(1).jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/our-america/","name":"Our America"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collection/our-america-250/2026/food-and-dishes/","name":"25 Dishes That Capture the Flavor of America Today"}}]}] ```
