1. Down-South Brisket
Specifically, meat-smoking aficionados advocate for the Texas style of brisket. This breast meat from beef or veal should generally be cooked slow and low for best results. Everything is bigger in Texas, including the brisket, and that's a very good thing.
2. Chicken Tikka Masala
If you ever try the Indian flatbread known as naan, you won't soon forget its impossibly airy texture and unrivaled ability to sop up the sauce from the other delicious Indian dishes that come along with the naan.
Shrimp vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, Rogan josh. Once you've tried these Indian delights, bland food will be a naan-starter.
3. Ham Croquetas
One enthusiast of Latin cuisine says that a Cuban-style ham croqueta is a fried delicacy you must try before ascending into Heaven. Throw arepas on the menu, too—we don't discriminate when it comes to mouth-watering Latin dishes.
One bite of the right croqueta will have you questioning, "Am I in Heaven already?"
4. Ceviche
Ceviche, a Peruvian kitchen staple, is a refreshing mix of raw fish marinated in freshly squeezed lime or bitter orange juice, with sliced onions, chili peppers, and seasoning. This coastal dish is cooled by the acidity of the marinade, which "cooks" the fish without heat.
5. French Quiche
One world traveler notes that if you're fortunate enough to try world-renowned Parisian cuisine, it's not the croissants or the crème brulee you must be sure to try. Rather, they say that few foods hold a candle to a fresh French quiche. Who are oui oui to say otherwise?
6. Katz's Deli's Pastrami Sandwich
The history of Katz's Delicatessen dates back more than a century, and the restaurant movies more than 15,000 pounds of pastrami per week, most of it departing on rye bread into the stomachs of salivating patrons.
You don't move 15,000 pounds of pastrami a week if it's not bucket-list-level pastrami.
7. Wagyu Steak
The Lord did something special when he placed the Japanese beef cattle breed known as Wagyu on his green earth. Technically, the cattle started in China but arrived in Japan to help in rice cultivation. Japan's century-plus of isolation allowed the Wagyu stock to remain pure, and today Wagyu is a cut above the rest.
Did you know "Wa" means Japanese and "gyu" means cow, together translating as "Japanese cow"? In the United States, "Wagyu" also translates to "put that fatty, tender slice of heaven on my plate, stat."
8. Biscuits and Sausage Gravy
For all the grease-drenched, artery-clogging cuisine you'll find in the Southern United States, biscuits and gravy may just be the best. Check out one of the many YouTube videos of foreigners trying biscuits and sausage gravy for the first time, and you'll realize why everymen say it's a try-before-you-die type of dish.
9. Pierogi
Pierogis are dumplings filled with cheese (and sometimes other accouterments). It's so simple yet so effective. Few things are more satisfying on a cold day than a warm pierogi.
10. Gumbo
You could fill this entire list with dishes you'd find in the finest New Orleanian restaurants (crawfish etouffee, charbroiled oysters, muffuletta, shrimp, and grits). No dish, however, encapsulates New Orleans cuisine quite like gumbo. Hold the tomatoes.
11. Peking Duck
Peking Duck is a famed Chinese dish from Beijing, celebrated for its crispy skin and tender meat. Served with pancakes, scallions, and hoisin sauce, diners wrap the ingredients to create a harmonious bite.
12. Morel Mushrooms
Morel mushrooms aren't like other mushrooms. Morels aren't slimy, taking on a meat-like texture. They taste nutty, and you can only find morel mushrooms in the wild. Because they aren't farmed, morels are rare. This rarity gives these beloved mushrooms royal status in chef's circles.
