People tend to say that there’s no arguing about food. Everyone has different tastes and the world offers something for everyone’s needs. But when it comes to the best food, going to the US probably wouldn’t cross everyone’s minds as the country is most commonly known for its junk food. But this Australian girl documented her food journey in the US so well, it will make anyone fall in love and maybe even melt some of the hearts of those despising junk food at least a little bit.

After traveling for 16 hours from Queensland, Australia to San Francisco, starting her trip with an In-N-Out burger felt like just the right thing to do. Double-Double with animal sauce. Luckily, it was all worth the hassle as the Aussie commented that she “would fly 16 hours again for this burger”.

Despite having Krispy Kreme in Australia, she paid a visit to them in the US as well and did not regret it even one bit. “Gosh, they’re better here,” she said. “Selected was an original glaze, followed by a second original glaze.”

She felt it was worth throwing in a pic of herself enjoying a donut just to prove how good they actually were.

Not everything was so delicious though. “McDonalds McGriddle. Only thing at American McDonalds that we don’t have back home. Probably won’t miss it either.”

“Clam chowder from Boudin. Holy smokes this was a good lunch.”

“Pizza at Tony’s. Something sausage. Yes, I love pizza. Yes, the reason I went to America was to eat Pizza. Yes, this was an excellent pizza.”
Image credits: katykatycake
“The Tony’s Margarita. Could be the best pizza I’ve ever eaten? Definitely the best Margarita.”

“Gosh, America has the most exciting supermarkets I’ve ever seen. Flaming hot Cheetos are the hero in this photo. Bananas in the back for scale.”
Image credits: katykatycake
She was also beyond excited about those cute Chinese takeaway boxes: “chinese from Uber eats. It was delicious and came in the first little Chinese takeaway boxes I’ve eaten from. More excited about this than I should have been. Also, coffee mate in the background, how am I going to live without you at the end of this trip?”

Image credits: katykatycake
“Heard great things about Five Guys. Chocolate malt shake is the best I’ve ever had. Burger for me was insane. So much flavor.”
Image credits: katykatycake
“Hands down, the best pie I’ve ever eaten. Golden Boy pepperoni. I’ll dream about this pizza in the future.”
Image credits: katykatycake

Image credits: katykatycake
“Fortune cookies from Chinatown. Accidentally bought the ‘Adult’ version. That was some interesting reading.”
Image credits: katykatycake
“First time trying biscuits and gravy. This was a roadside diner on the way to Yosemite. Couldn’t finish, I let the waitress down.”
Image credits: katykatycake
“The same diner. Shared plates so this gets a mention too. This whipped butter is absolutely delicious.”
Image credits: katykatycake
“First dinner in Yosemite. Pretty good pizza. Will work off the next day with a hike. Or maybe just skip hike and go eat more pizza.”
Image credits: katykatycake
She was hoping to have some lefovers from those Yosemite pizzas to attract raccoons. Sadly, it did not work quite as planned: “No leftovers. Probably why I didn’t see a Raccoon.”

“Bears are a rare sighting apparently so I brought the bear to us.”

“Roast pork with green beans and mash. Biggest serving I’ve had yet in the USA, I ate all of it.”

“In Australia, we call this a Cinnamon Scroll. Was corrected when asked for one and told it was a Cinnamon Roll. I could have eaten 3 more of this delicious scroll/roll.”
Image credits: katykatycake
“Every one prepared me for American coffee being the worst. Drip coffee is now life. Oh, and the Peets Pumpkin Lattes are also pretty good.”

Image credits: katykatycake
“Dessert from the buffet at The Cosmopolitan Hotel Vegas. Yes, this was all for me. We were the very last ones in the buffet. The restaurant was packed up around us. I paid for unlimited drinks and desserts, I wanted my money’s worth. Left drunk and on a massive sugar high.”
Image credits: katykatycake
“Breakfast donut from District Donut at The Cosmopolitan. Stay at this hotel. Order thiS breakfast. Don’t forget the glazed and cinnamon donuts as shown in the background.”
Image credits: katykatycake
“Mexican from Santa Monica pier. The host was very nice, gave us the best table with a view of the sunset. A customer at another table shouted at the host and said he wanted our table. The cranky guy left hungry. Sad for him, the food and sunset were equally good.”
Image credits: katykatycake
“Fresh lemonade with mint. Refreshing and also made me feel like a Californian sipping this on my bike while riding along Santa Monica.”
Image credits: katykatycake

I think one of the things that I do like about my country (U.S) is that you have the option to try traditional foods from other countries all around the world. There are small family owned restaurants that bring in culture directly into the food and I god damn love it. Only problem is that ingredients here create relatively REALLY good tasting food because of additives that are normally illegal in other countries and not in the U.S. It's why the obesity rate is larger here than anywhere else. Not only do we not have time to make ourselves home cooked meals, but they add additives to make you want to eat more. It's an endless cycle. Still... we got some good a** grilled cheese sandwiches and quesedillas, highly recommend if you get them from the right place.

Yeah, and every part of america has their own food from other countries, like farming communities are going to have damn good Mexican food because of workers coming from there. In Seattle, we have really good Vietnamese and Teriyaki.
