This is always going to be a complicated question because everybody hates America and nobody wants to admit we have any culture, except when it turns out we do, so they claim it was actually the original immigrant culture and not ours, so we get nothing ha ha. But if this is a serious question, I might start with:
>New England lobster rolls
>Maryland crab cakes, and steamed crabs
>Pacific salmon
>A nice steakhouse, with a hearty potato side (potatoes being natively American)
>A really rich, heavy "Southern" meal with all the fixins' (naturally involving all the gravy, butter, cream sauces, etc)
>Texas chili with cornbread
>Tex-Mex generally, which can help to highlight corn, tomatoes, and other native American (New World) produce--as well at the spices, of course--while also adding novel US preparations:

>A nice honest Midwestern-style casserole (which may not amaze you, except for its being hearty and filling, a real treat in subzero winters)
>A "Thanksgiving" turkey dinner
