As a side note, I like what you're doing to some foods, but mate, the list includes about 10 dishes which are very much not American in any way, other than being appropriated by the smallest change
PB&J though, phwoar

I think my list is largely American; all food is a cooking style, the ingredients are simply what is native to your region; America is a nation of immigrants so many of its foods are amalgamations, but that makes the result no less unique and American. A good example of this is the NYC deli sandwich; specifically the reuben and corned beef, which have European roots but you don't get it served that way in Europe. My favorite sandwich I've ever had is probably a Schwartz's, but even this is unique and not at all American even if a cousin. But then you also have many pockets of truly unique foods built on the imagination of immigrants, like the banh mi, which is a uniquely Vietnamese version of the New Orleans po-boy*.
*wikipedia suggests the banh mi was native to Vietnam in the 1950s prior to immigration of many Vietnamese to New Orleans, but I will not let fact deter my narrative.

This argument works against you for the BBQ'ing then, can't have it both ways.
I get what you mean though, but also we don't want sandwiches (or anything) served in a way that it means the food can't be eaten like you're a normal human being as that's a bit weird. I get the novelty idea of it but I want neither massively stacked things nor overly greasy everything else. There is a middle ground.
That on the right, is a Banana Kona Mocha. It's now my favourite thing.
That on the left is a Wailua Moana Acai Bowl. It's now my second favourite thing.
Had any ‘proper’ Poke bowls while you’re there yet? (Or not fan?)
