Thrillist came up with 101 dishes that changed America when they came about. All of these have become staples on many menus here in America. What surprised me the most is how long ago some of these dishes came to be!
Here are just a few of the highlights in my opinion:
- The hot dog in 1916
- the Reuben sandwich in 1920
- The cheesesteak in 1930
- Chocolate chip cookies in 1936
- Prime rib in 1938
- Fried chicken in 1940
