Although the world lauds Seattle for its stunning seafood, many other local specialties scream authentic American cuisine. Deep-fried hamburgers, Seattle Dogs, and steaming coffee make the long list of the city’s most beloved and iconic foods. 

Seattle food tours around the city include some of the best American cuisines that have the power to rekindle childhood memories and love for food.  If you plan to go on a food tour around the city, make sure to treat your taste buds to some of this yummy American food.

Mouth-Watering Seafood

If you plan to take part in Seattle food tours in any part of the city, one of the most quintessential famous flavors you will come across is seafood. Seattle is known for its tasty seafood. 

Shellfish, geoduck, and oysters are staples in Seattle, and though not strictly American, Japanese-American dishes like teriyaki also remain a specialty in the city. During food tours, you get to taste the locally caught crab, oysters, and chowder from popular places like Pike Place Chowder at the Pike Place Market. 

All American Fast Food

Though most of the people in Seattle are health conscious who have adopted the farm-to-table movement, embracing locally grown organic food to an extent, the craze for fast food has surprisingly not died down in the city.

Places like Li’l Woody’s and Dick’s offer mouth-watering burgers, which are favorite and anytime go-to for the locals. In addition to tourists, burgers and fast food in Seattle even lure in the residents mainly because of the nostalgic feeling it brings with it.

Famous Seattle Dog

Authentic American cuisine does not spell right without Seattle Dog in it. The most sought-after Seattle Dogs are sausages or hot dogs, slathered in cream cheese and grilled onion. Its story dates back to the late 1990s when a bagel cart local at Pioneer Square started the craze with distinct rolls known as bialy sticks. 

You cannot enjoy Seattle food tours without tasting these delicious local hotdogs. While on tour, you can grab one at the Pike Place Market or try experimental versions at Deep Dive near Amazon Spheres.
