Usually my sense of patriotism falls far below my regionalism, but right now being from South Carolina means "Mark Sanford" and being from America means "We almost beat Brazil in soccer" "We sentenced Bernie Madoff to 150 years" and "We're still mourning the loss of three of the most American Americans: a Charlie's Angel, the King of Pop, and Billy Mays."
So I'm feeling more pro-America these days. Enough to post this list of the top 50 American restaurants in America, as selected by OpenTable diners. They're in alphabetical order, so there are no clear rankings. They're mainly in the big cities you would expect, and I'm definitely suspect of the Capital Grille, which seems to have been selected 9 times, for different locations in the chain. That annoys me. Either it's rigged by their marketing department or chosen by uncreative OpenTable users obsessed with a culture of status and trendiness. Eh, I'm not feeling so American after all.
Maybe the patriotism will kick in again for the Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest (though I tend to favor Kobayashi...so nevermind).
