20) GARBO'S GRILL
State: Florida
City: Key West
Specialties: fish tacos
address: 409 Caroline St
409 Caroline Street, away from the fascinating bustle of Mallory Square and the nightlife of Duval Street. This is still Key West, Florida, but we're in a corner of downtown: we do not hesitate to say that you will find here one of the most famous food trucks in the state and, honestly, one of the best fish taco in the nation. The menu also includes meat tacos and burgers, but nothing beats Mahi Mahi tacos. And what about Key West? Well, like Sedona, it is one of those unique towns on the American scene. Not so big, but not too small, Key West (guide to the Keys islands) is an authentic gem a stone's throw from Cuba, where the sea, relaxation and fun make it one of the favorite destinations for European tourists.

19) ROGUE DISTILLERY AND PUBLIC HOUSE
State: Oregon
City: Portland
Specialties: brewery and american cuisine
address: 1339 NW Flanders St
You may have guessed by now that Honestly, we fell in love with Oregon, as much as the culinary scene of one of the most underrated states in the American panorama. When it comes to Oregon (Kauai, Northern California and Oregon), three things have really become clear to us: Oregon means beaches and unspoiled nature, nike ... and beer. And while you're in Portland, the queen city of the state, you'll be really spoiled for choice when it's time to drink a good beer. If you are hunting for the famous "taste of Portland" you shouldn't miss one of the very famous microbrewery, also called Brewvana. wo of the most important "brewvana" are the Crystal Ballroom (1332 W Burnside St, in the center) located in the pearl district and the Cascade Barrel House (939 SE Belmont S). We still want to combine the excellent beer with excellent food and then we prefer to go to the Rogue Distillery and Public House (1339 NW Flanders St.). Great quality craft beers (you can taste 4 beers) and delicious food. One of the first three best dinners of the "on the road" is definitely the one we had in Portland...

18) MI MEXICO
State: Colorado
City: Montrose
Specialties: mexican cuisine
address: 1706 E Main St
Speaking of underrated states and national parks, there're not only Oregon and New Mexico. Let's talk then "the great state of Colorado" (Arizona, Colorado and Utah), another gem of the western United States. Often visitors forget the beauty of this state during a road trip in the west and only visit the Mesa Verde National Park forgetting that, without getting too far, just a hundred kilometers away there is a beautiful city, Durango, a fairy-tale train experience (Durango and Silverton Railroad) one of the most beautiful trails in the whole state (Ice Lake Trail). And, for those who want to go a little further north, there's also a beautiful national park, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. A deep and hidden canyon, which can be visited both on its south rim and north rim sides. The gate town on the more touristic side, the one on the south, is Montrose. It's not that beautiful, but it gave us one of the best Mexican dinners ever: fabulous enchilladas and lots and lots of margaritas at a fair price.

17) ENCINITAS FISH SHOP
State: California
City: Encinitas
Specialties: seafood-fish market
address: 1010 S Coast Hwy 101
The surroundings of San Diego are not only among the most beautiful places in all of California (the 4 best hikes in San Diego and the surrounding area), but probably offer the best at culinary level. Encinitas is located along the coast, about 25 miles north of San Diego, and is home to one of the most popular fish markets in California, the Encinitas Fish Shop. The customer here is the great protagonist of the scene: just wait for your turn (this place is always crowded!) and choose the fish among those proposed (Ahi, Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Salmon, Sea Bass, Swordfish, Yellowtail, Albacore, Diver Scallops, Jumbo Shrimp, Slipper Lobster).Then select the marinade and finally the style (taco, salad, sandwich or plate. Grilled or fried). The restaurant is informal but equipped with plenty of tables and a bar where you can order alcohol.

16) YAK'S ON THE 5
State: California
City: Dunsmuir
Specialties: american cuisine - burgers
address: 4917 Dunsmuir Ave
You will hardly hear about a European tourist that visits Dunsmuir, deep northern California (Kauai, Northern California & Oregon), unless he is about to visit the beautiful Lassen Volcanic national park or one of California's finest surprises. It is no coincidence, in fact, that the 26th President Teddy Roosevelt called the Burney Falls (Lassen Volcanic National Park & Burney Falls) within the McArthur – Burney Falls Memorial State Park, the "eighth wonder of the world." If you ever "googled" both those natural beauties, you certainly would have understood that the most beautiful California is ... Northern California! Once you get to Dunsmuir, a huge locomotive welcomes you at the entrance to the city, because during the steam locomotive railroad era, Dunsmuir was notable for being the site of an important Central Pacific (and later Southern Pacific) railroad yard, where extra steam locomotives were added to assist trains on the grade to the north. And if you want to sleep inside a locomotive, this is really the town for you. But Dunsmuir is also home to one of the 100 best restaurants in the United States, Yak's on the 5, which could not miss in our top 30. Any unmissable dishes? The "Make Me Want to Cry Garlic Parmesan Fries", the "Yaks Really, Really, Really Big Wings" or "Oh My Goodness (OMG) How Could This Be a Burger, Burger". The names say it all, there is no need to add anything else ...

15) THE ORIGINAL PIERRE'S MASPERO
State: Louisiana
City: New Orleans
Specialties: southern cuisine
address: 440 Chartres St
When it comes to soul food, well... you either love it or you hate it (Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee & Arkansas). No, there's no middle way. When visiting the magical southern places, both Mississippi and Alabama hold a candle to Louisiana, but when it comes to food... that's a different story! The realm of southern cuisine is the former French territory which Napoleon sensationally sold for "a few dollars" to the Americans. When you visit Lafayette (Lafayette and Louisiana cuisine), you'll get into direct contact with the Creole and cajun cuisine: and therefore with the traditional Boudin whichis a combination of meat and rice that looks like a sausage. The very famous rhyme in this area is as follows: "Napa Valley has wine, New York has Pizza, Wisconsin has cheese ... South west Louisiana has Boudin". Here, boudin is even more of a religion. There're many types of Boudin: Boudin Blanc (a slightly colored boudin), crawfish boudin (made of cooked shrimp tails and rice), Shrimp boudin (cooked shrimp and rice), alligator boudin (meat of alligator and rice), Hot Boudin (extra spicy), Mild Boudin (spicy) and smoked boudin (smoked). It is so famous that there is the Boudin Trail, a route in the south west of Louisiana that will take you to experience all the best restaurants which offer Boudin. In New Orleans, however, Cajun cuisine is a bit more suitable for European tourists: an authentic piece of the city's history is The Original Pierre's Maspero, where you can taste many of the Lousiana's specialties, including of course also the legendary Gumbo (a fabulous soup), jambalaya (another gem of southern cuisine) and much more.

14) ALL AMERICAN DINER
State: Utah
City: Cedar City
Specialties: diner-American
address: 501 S Main St,
The United States are also and above all ... the legendary diners. The classic restaurants where locals usually go, those where you taste the true taste of America. Diners are still found in every corner of the country, but few could beat the All American Diner in Cedar City, Utah, not far from the Nevada border. Shane and Jessica Behunin purchased the American Diner in June 2010 and have made the diner an icon of Cedar City, a must for anyone visiting the great parks of the west. The city is, in fact, a good (and cheap) support base for those who are about to visit the beautiful Bryce Canyon National Park or are about to reach the thousand lights of Las Vegas (The old wild southwest). Our advice is to taste the renowned Pastrami Burger and the apple pie with ice cream.

13) THE DARLING OYSTER BAR

City: Charleston
Specialties: seafood-raw fish
address: 513 King street
Charleston and nearby Savannah (Georgia) are unquestionably two of the most beautiful cities in the United States. Between history and natural beauty (THE SOUTHEAST: Northern Florida, Georgia & South Carolina), the two icons of South Carolina and Georgia represent a must when talking about an on the road in the eastern United States. On the east coast, the culinary scene is not far behind. Here you'll eat the best shrimps in the United States, but all the seafood is of the highest quality. And one of the restaurants not to be missed for raw fish lovers is right in Charleston, The Darling Oyster Bar, the oyster kingdom in the heart of downtown. You will find them both raw and cooked, along with other fine pieces such as clams and especially the Alaskan king crab. Our menu? Creole prawns, cooked oysters, fish and chips and key lime pie!

12) MIDPOINT CAFE
State: Texas
City: Adrian
Specialties: american-desserts
address: 305 W Historic Rte 66
We have already talked about the charm of Route 66 (Route 66, Hawaii & Seattle). Every mile, every motel sign and every restaurant has that magical flavor that no one else on the road will be able to give you. Once in Texas, you will be very close to being ... halfway on your long but fascinating journey. But where is exactly located the "midpoint" of the Historical Route 66? It's in Adrian, which has stayed alive especially because it got the role of "midpoint" of the route 66. Calculations are not so easy to make, but... yes, we're definitely halfway! 1139 miles, in fact, separates you both from Chicago and Los Angeles. The Midpoint Cafè is probably the most famous Cafe on the mother road. Cakes here are amazing, but honestly we got the most delicious burger of the entire trip.

12) STREET BURGER
State: Hawaii
City: Kapaa'a
Specialties: american-brewery
address: 4-369 Kuhio Hwy
All right, you should eat Hawaiian in Hawaii, but we want to make a small exception for the continental cuisine. We are in the most beautiful and wild of the Hawaiian islands, Kauai (4 days in Kauai), the one that offers one or the most beautiful trails in the entire United States, the Kalalau Trail, that of the Na Pali Coast, that of the splendid Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. The one that, when you leave it, we think you might even throw in a few tears... The best way to make the departure less bitter is having the last dinner on the island in the town of Kapa'a, in the heart of the island. Where? Obviously at the Street Burger, which will simply give you the best burger among all the Hawaiian islands and an amazing crat beer.
