Originally from the Philippines, Jollibee is fast food restaurant that is quickly gaining popularity in the US. The fried chicken and Jolly Spaghetti are must-trys, as well as the Peach Mango Pie.

4. Raising Cane’s

My son is obsessed with Raising Cane’s. That signature Cane’s sauce and buttery Texas toast are exactly why we keep going back. There’s just something about dipping those crispy chicken fingers into that sauce — it’s completely addictive.
