American food
-
Five guy style twice fried French fries.
Wait, are typical fries in the US only fried once?!
Those are two different preparations. We’d call them homefries, or potato-wedges.

Five guy style twice fried French fries. Hamburger bun grilled cheese with processed cheese food slices, hot dogs from the air fryer. Fry sauce made from mayonnaise, ketchup and malt vinegar.
Ask your doctor if American food is right for you.
Cost per person: $2.40.
The fries look insanely good. The hot dogs with the hamburger bun is an interesting choice. I’ve never seen anyone do that before. Grilled cheese is usually just normal bread, not hamburger buns. Grilled cheeses normally don’t have anything thicker than a slice or two of turkey or ham. Great attempt imo.

As a North Carolinian, and that’s as far as I go for the sake of anonymity,… this is mid-tier, as a southerner.
Two upside-down hamburger-buns, two fried hotdogs, two slices of cheese and fries, the “default” of sides. This entire “meal” is roughly $5 of food for $2 of sustenance and I think you deserve better for yourself.
American food? This is on the sloppier side of “American Food”, there’s more bread and starch on the plate than turnip greens, BBQ or at least some fried chicken, god forbid some stewed carrots or sweet potatoes or something.
ALL THAT ASIDE
Homie toasted the buns upside down for extra crispness, and I bet being soft on the inside makes the chew interesting, and the fries aren’t exactly a low quality. The execution is top-tier, but I mean, come on.
This isn’t meant to represent any particular American dish. It’s just a vibe of things American. I can’t think of another country that could even offer something like this.
Literally $2.40 of food.
I’m in Lesser Carolina. Just 40 minutes south of Charlotte. Maybe you would prefer Carolina Bird Dogs?

Is it a grilled cheese glizzy, or a glizzy melt?
I’m thinking grilled cheese glizzy

As an American I have never in my life seen anything like this.
It looks disgusting.
It’s not a particular dish but a general American vibe. And as an American living in The South And having traveled around the world I can tell you this is the only place something like it could exist. Most countries don’t even offer the ingredients necessary to make it.

They start with raw potatoes and cook them once. Let cool. Cook again before serving.
A lot of fast food fries are cooked twice but are very different. They start with a potato stick, coat it in crispy making stuff, fry it, flash freeze it and then ship it to the restaurants for cooking again.
But Give Guys doesn’t want a thin crispy fry. They want a fat fry.

I wouldn’t call it American food as if its common
If it was common I would have used its name. This has the vibe of American food. Ingredients that aren’t available in the rest of the world combined together to form something that when you see it makes you know it only can exist in America.

This is like someone in their 30s doing a YouTube about “having McDonald’s for the first time in my life”

My only real question, is how is the cheese with the dogs? I usually go cheddar, I feel processed would be a bit tangy for dogs.

Ever been to the Carolinas? This is breakfast. Lunch is the same thing with ranch dressing.

Another American here, sure it looks great, but that wasn’t the point of the comment. It’s that it’s not quite American food. I love malt vinegar as much as the next Anglophile but we don’t really use it here except for fish sometimes, and sure I’d fuck up a hot dog sandwich but I’ve never heard of one outside of a struggle meal.
Poor melted cheese and ranch dressing over it, then we’re closer. Also, this is clearly the kid’s meal.

what the umpty fuck is that a deep fried hot dog on a bun

I had to look up “twice fried French fries”. Sounds great but do you have a way to do it without getting oil splatter everywhere? It’s the reason I stopped frying my fries and baking them just isn’t the same
This is why splatter guards exist.

Chicken tenders Left topped with bacon and Dijon mustard. It’s a Carolina specialty known as the Carolina Bird Dog. You won’t find it in the cities, but it’s in the country diners.

It’s what’s adding flavor. Think of it is adding the tang that mustard to ketchup would offer on a hot dog.

I should get TV trays.
I’ll bring the cigarettes 🥦

You know, I almost bought some of those but decided I didn’t want something with a million tiny holes to clean grease out of. Probably best just to put it in the dishwasher though. I should get them

Use a deep pot. Fill it no more than 1/3 with oil. It makes maintaining 350f harder but it minimizes cleanup and fire risk.
What do you do with the oil afterwards?
-
I have some. But no smoking indoors.

I keep it in an enamel cast iron Dutch oven. I keep using it and cleaning it until it’s near time for a change. Then I’ll do something that will ruin it like fried chicken. Then it goes in an oil container. When the oil container is full I bring it to our local trash drop off (we don’t have trash service) and leave it on the dumpster where someone who recycles it will pick it up.
