Are you going to be fair and leave Pizza Hut and KFC and Mcdonald's out of it?
Gee, I hope so

America is such a huge place, it is a shame to give credit only to fast food or corporate logos.
I mean my personal favorite American Food is Gumbo, -the symbol of Jazz by the way.
Gumbo is made from a base called 'the Roux', which is basically flour and water slowly fried in butter, changing color from white to yellow, to red, to brown until it is the base for Gumbo.
After that, you add the okra and then everything else you got, be it fish or chicken or sausage, etc.
Everybody likes Gumbo, but without the Roux you have no Gumbo, just like without the Blues you have no Jazz, so therefore Blues is a music that every color or race of man is good at singing.... Love that Gumbo.

I would say Julia Child. LOL. Just kidding.
I'm not sure if you are asking for a brand or just a food that would symbolize America.
I thought you were asking for a food, so if I had to pick one, I would say a cheeseburger and fries represents America.

Well, there goes Colonel Sanders...
How about Betty Crocker? The symbol for wholesome American cookery.

When I think of America, I think of big weiners.
Even though I am veg. I still partake every now an then. "Tofu Pups" that is. Chinese veg. sausage just doesn't compare.

If we are talking about "Icon" (not national food) then I would agree with person who said IHOP.
For national food, I would say Cheese Burger.
