I guess when I said there's a lot more to it than burgers and fried food, I was disagreeing with the part where you said "Isn't "American food" burgers and fried things?". It's also things like Maine lobster, steamers and mussels. It's also pizza. It's also Jambalaya and Gumbo. It's also peanut butter and jelly. It's Philly Cheesesteaks and Cobb Salads and lots of different kinds of barbecue. These are regional, but Italian food has regions too. Northern and Southern Italian cuisines are different, and both types of restaurants are just as much Italian.
