We all like what we like. There is no best. Just the best for you.
It's like arguing about which color is the prettiest, or which sport is the most entertaining.
For what it's worth, I enjoy American food, but found the food in Thailand, Japan, and Greece better.
+1 'best' food is subjective, I have had memorable meals in almost all countries I have been in - chicken in Greece, lentils and rice in Cairo, pigeon in HK, dim sum in Toronto/HK, Thai food in Chiang Mai, pizza in Florence. the list is endless, paella, steak, burgers, poutine, smoked meat, seafood. No country holds a lock on being the best!
I may be snobbish, but when the OP mentioned Olive Garden, all I can remember from OG was that the food was greasy and salty. If that's your thing, then places like OG, Pizza Hut, greasy Chinese restaurant go far, for me, its fresh ingredients I can pick out when I take a bite that make the foodie experience!
