Any country has its specialties and these German Meme things are certainly good, but in general German cuisine is not very sophisticated.
In Europe by far it is Spanish and in general Mediterranean cuisine.
I am from Spain and here the food is worldclass, apart there are also not only the best wines, but also the beer can compete with the German one.
The worst cuisine is in Nordic countries and England, this is already off the scale, luckily there are good Chinese and Indian restaurants there that guarantee survival outside of fish and chips.
Nordic countries might have given us lutefisk, but that’s just a cover for their top notch baked goods. Fresh krumkake is like the best ice cream cone you’ve ever had.
Italy has a similar cuisine as Spain, but generally the Mediterranean cuisine is the best, France generally isn’t bad, but quite overrated, we found the best Restaurants in Alsace, perhaps, if Seafood is your thing, you can add Marseille. Besides, the wines are good, but the French beer is horrible, it taste like dishwater.
I have traveled a lot in Europe and I know what they offer in the culinary world and there is a clear trend of the further north, the worse. Maybe it has to do with the way of life and the climate. When forcefulness and calories prevail over sophistication.
If you believe this than you are woefully uninformed about American food culture.
You can get good authentic food from every region of the world here, but we also have a culture that deeply loves to create new and incredible things inspired by that foreign influence.
Look at American third wave coffee, for example. American coffee culture was inspired by the Italians, but has seen a renaissance of experimentation that makes it uniquely American. It’s now among the best in the world.

Spain has Italy and France beat “by far”? Probably a bit biased.

Spanish cuisine is great
But French is every bit as good
Outside of Europe? Nobody can compete with America in depth and breadth in terms of incredible food options.
Options a lot, but not in local food and food culture.
This is a dumb take
