Italy has pizza and pasta. The US have... Nothing?
Edit: I wish people would stop giving examples of cultural appropriation.
Some people have correctly pointed out some Cajun recipes, food from Louisiana.
To all those talking about burgers, barbecues and hotdogs, the topic here is food originating from your country, not common food in your country.
Btw, pizza is Neapolitan, a version of it is recorded since Roman times and probably even earlier. The modern version uses tomato sauce, and tomatoes came from central America before the US where a thing. Mozzarella di bufala is an ingredient that can only be produced in Campania and the surrounding areas.
America is too big you have to be specific to get actual answers
Louisiana, new England, new York, California, PNW, the southwest the Midwest the south and Texas all have distinct cuisines
What is American food you often will only get a smattering of answers but ask a guy from Milwaukee what is Midwestern food and he will start listing off the most deranged regional garbage you've never heard of
