You know, thinking this over I suppose a national cuisine takes centuries to develop. The United States is only 241 years old and is physically larger than the entirety of Europe. The closest thing to a unified national cuisine the US has would probably be molecular gastronomy? I dunno, it's like we brought so many cultures in there was never a need to invent a new dish when no one person could possibly craft every dish in the "American" lexicon. Meanwhile most of what is "American" is twists on other dishes, for instance I don't know how we knew to put cream in carbonara but it sucks dick without it.
