[BuckeyeNut]

uggg, food elitists, you guys suck, but nowhere near as much beer elitists.  Did I ever do that "who are the most annoying -philes?" thread?

Beer snob superiority forever.

[morgieb]

Indian, but given that it's not listed, Thai.

[Santander]

If objecting to the "otherization" of ethnic Chinese Americans makes me an elitist, I'm not ashamed to be one.

It seems more like you're objecting to assimilation? I consider myself a food snob and will make a distinction between Americanized and "true" ethnic snob, but it's not enough to get upset over.

Of the various Asian cuisines, I guess I've only ever had "true" Japanese food, which I guess is my favorite anyway, even considering Americanized Asian cuisine.

Any culinary tradition that was made in and developed in America is American, full stop. Tex-Mex has Mexican influences, but it is as American as apple pie. Other ethnic/regional American cuisines are also considered fully American, like Cajun or Italian-American cuisine. Why shouldn't Chinese-American cuisine be considered fully American, too?

I'm not a snob - I mean, I often talk about my love for Israeli, Tamil, and Malay food, but I also like McDonalds and Chick-fil-A.

[Confused Democrat]

Chinese because it's an American staple.

[Kingpoleon]

Fake Chinese(Real American)

[Badger]

Japanese solely for sushi and sashimi which is heavenly. After that Indian, Thai, and Vietnamese are all fighting it out for second.

[Lechasseur]

Chinese, followed by Japanese

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Had the best Indian in the Burgh Tuesday night.......damn. 

[DKrol]

Panda Express.

[Xing]

Authentic Chinese/Taiwanese, though Japanese, Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese are all great as well.

[Ye We Can]

Literally steamed White Rice. I have no pallette, I guess.

[dax00]

1. Viet
2. Thai

[TheLeftwardTide]

Japanese, because I'm a filthy weeb

Where at, man?

[Nutmeg]

Burmese, really, but of these, Laotian. I suppose after that, tossup between Korean and Japanese.

[Statilius the Epicurean]

Indian is by far the best national cuisine. My death row meal would be a lamb bhuna.

Taste of India on Penn Ave across from the new Children's Hospital in the Lawrenceville neighborhood. I only live 10 minutes from there so we order it to go a lot.  Double the portion size in to go containers.......inexpensive too.  Most $8-12
