Vietnam: Pho - This dish is the quintessential noodle soup. The soup consists of rice noodles, seasoned with lime and mint, and sliced beef or chicken. Eat some of the best pho at Pho Hung in Ho Chi Minh City.
Venezuela: Pabellón Criollo - A spin on a simple rice and beans dish, pabellón criollo consists of shredded beef, stewed black beans, and rice. Popular toppings on the dish include plantains and fried eggs. La Cocina de Francy in Caracas has a great version of the traditional Venezuelan dish.
USA: Chicago: Hot Dog - Hot dogs are popular around the country, but the city known for being home to the best dogs is Chicago. Typical Chicago hot dogs are all beef and served on a poppy seed bun with mustard, onions, sweet relish, a pickle, sport peppers, celery salt, and tomatoes. Three of the best hot dogs in the city can be found at Fat Johnnie’s, Hot Doug’s, and Superdawg, all of which were mentioned on our Chicago's 29 Best Hot Dogs list, as well as America’s 35 Best Hot Dogs.
USA: Hamburgers - Few things are more American than a hamburger, so it is nearly impossible to try and narrow down the best place to get one. Two of the most popular chains known for their burger are California’s In-N-Out, and New York’s Shake Shack . For a more complete list, check out our 40 best buregers in America.
USA: Apple Pie - Apple pie is considered the classic American dessert, so much so that the expression "as American as apple pie" has been popularized. For a delicious version of the popular dessert, check out The Elegant Farmer in Wisconsin.
USA: Texas: Chicken Fried Steak - Texas stands apart from the rest of the South — people from Texas are Texans first, Americans second. With that comes iconic Texan cuisine, of which the chicken-fried steak is the epitome. One of Houston’s best is found at Hickory Hollow Restaurant, where they give you four size options: the Large Rancher, Medium Hired Hand, Small Plowman, and Small Cowgirl.
USA: South: Barbecue - The country’s best is found in this region and just about everybody has his or her favorite, with most options ranging from cuts of beef or pork garnished (or not) in a variety of rubs and/or sauces. Check out our Ultimate BBQ Road Trip for 2013 to see our restaurant picks (there are 60!) across the region.
USA: Philly Cheesesteak - A simple comfort food, has become a must-try when traveling to Philadelphia. It's a hoagie (long roll) heaped with thinly sliced meat, American cheese, and cooked onions, and can be found all over town — and the debates about who makes the best are heated. Head over to Ninth Street and choose your favorite between Geno’s and Pat’s. There’s no turning back.
Uruguay: Asado - This dish is known throughout Uruguay as a way to bring people together. It means, essentially, barbecue, and the meats can be grilled and prepared a number of ways. It is often cooked at gatherings or feasts, but in Punta del Este is a good place to go and sample it.
UK: Scotland: Haggis - Haggis is a Scottish delicacy that is made with minced sheep’s heart, liver, and lungs, cooked with onions, oats, spices, and mutton fat within a sheep’s bladder for at least three hours. Considered the national dish of Scotland, haggis is served with what Scots call mashed tatties and neeps, otherwise known as potatoes and turnips. Head over to Macsween of Edinburgh to try a version of Haggis created by the self-proclaimed "Guardians of the National Dish."

Many citizens of the U.K. have given up their fish and chips in favor of this spiced, tomato-based curry, served over rice and with sides like naan bread and raita. Try it at London’s Babur Brasserie.
