Upon reflection, I feel it's safe to say that our country has the best food in the world. Not necessarily based on quality, although they are plenty of quality restaurants. I think it's more because of variety. We are simply an extremely diverse country, possibly the most diverse with respect to countries represented. Just in a one mile radius of where I live in Houston, I can get mexican, salvadorean, bolivian, colombian, vietnamese, korean, chinese, japense, indian, pakistanian, iranian, and much much much more. In hindsight, it's quite incredible.

Australia could give you a run for your money. Our produce is also of a higher quality. You also lack possibly the greatest cuisine in the world, at least Asia, and one of the most under-represented, Malaysian.
I would definitely say we are the food capital of the world. Seems like every immigrant that comes here looks at how malnourished we look and decides we can use another restaurant. Look how many ethnic cooking shows are on tv these days. As soon as the one I am watching is over, I think I'll go out to eat at my favorite scarfing establishment and get my fill. Tomorrow I need to make a doctor appointment and find out why my feet are hurting so much.

Your produce may be of higher quality, but Australia is not even close. The only other country that is remotely close is probably England but that country automatically fails because finding an excellent Mexican restaurant is next to impossible . Believe me, I speak from experience. Also we have plenty of malay restaurants here, just saying.
Yes we do have the best cuisine. America both invents its own dishes, and reinvents dishes from the Old World and make them 100% American. For example, New York pizza and California sushi rolls are two dishes that are part of American cuisine, not Italian or Japanese.

Where I used to live in NYC, there were Malaysian restaurants everywhere, you wouldn't believe how popular pad thai is in southern California and Malaysian dishes are.
I have to agree in general, in regards to variety coupled with quality, the US comes out on top. While the US run of the mill establishments generally suck, there are numerous quality places to choose from if a person takes one ounce of energy to do so. The US has about everything, from BBQ to Ethiopian. It can get difficult to find some items depending where you live, but taking the US as a whole, if it exists, most likely the US has it.
That's just in Philadelphia. You can find Malaysian restaurants in any top 10 major city here.
In Portland there was one that closed down. Maybe in LA, SF, NY, Houston, Philly, Seattle there's a few, but nothing like what we have here. In most of the US it's unknown, in fact none of my American friends have even tried it.

Not even close? Have you even been here? Melbourne is considered one of the culinary centres of the world.
In Melbourne you can find great Italian, Greek, German, French, traditional British, Polish, Russian, Lebanese, Turkish, Persian, Arabic, even Yemeni, Ethiopian, Sudanese, Egyptian, a variety of authentic Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Lao, Cambodian, Malaysian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Filipino, Hawaiian, 'bush-tucker', Argentinian, Brazilian, Peruvian, Mexican, traditional American, among others.
Don't judge if you haven't properly experienced the culinary scene here.
