Eaten at Lambert's Cafe http://www.throwedrolls.com and drank sweet tea. I STILL don't get why sweet tea is not served at all restaurants.

because it's not cost/ time effective for all restaurants...there is sugar on the table, i know it's not the same, but still

YOu haven't been to the States until you've gotten thrown out of wal-mart for playing with light sabers.
or, untill you've eaten waffles and chicken after the bars

My bf and I went to Tenn. and Kentucky a few weeks ago, which was my first trip to those states. While there, I did the following for the first time:
Ate at:
Waffle House (nasty! But I talked them into letting me take my coffee cup home)
White Castle (so gross I couldn't eat even one slider)
Sonic (pretty good)
Cracker Barrell (loved!)
Visited:
Graceland!
Broadway in Nashville
Grand Ole Opry
Beale Street in Memphis
Civil War battlefield (Shiloh)
Saw:
Ohio River
Mississippi River
It was a great trip!!!

I had my first In N Out burgers this past summer when we (me and BF) visited LA and San Diego. It was so good. We also went to La Jolla and enjoyed the beach. I fell so in love. I go to south beach all the time, but nothing compared to that beach because there were so many families all actively doing stuff and there were THOUSANDS of people on MILES of beach. It's way better than any Florida beach I've been to just the energy and the family element of it all was great. Plus they have a side just for surfers and flecks of gold particles in the sand that shine and make everything so magical. I also went to Disneyland and California Adventure (which was super fun) but NOTHING compared to Disney World (which I go to every year). I loved California but I think it's whack that the clubs close at 2. (That's when people ARRIVE at clubs in Miami! And we leave when we FEEL like leaving) Some clubs do sunrise sessions and people stay from 12-12! But anyways, I loved California, it was my first trip west of anywhere but I missed the Chicken 'n Waffles unfortunately...But In N Out is the s**t!!! I need someone to ship me that overnight cos I miss it!!

You didn't come far ENOUGH South if you ate at a White Castle instead of the Krystal!

The one in Sikeston. *lol* I'm from there, so it's a hometown thing. Now that I live in Florida, I sooo miss it. My parents go there at least once a week, and call me to torment me. We actually had a redneck dress up contest for our wedding rehersal dinner, held at Lamberts. *LOL* It was toooo funny. Our wedding party had over 30 people in it, so it got crazy fast. *lmao* It was a great ice breaker.

Okay, after looking at your itinerary (and not mentioning the things you've already mentioned/have been suggested), I would suggest:
Chicago: Super Dawgs, the best hot dogs you'll ever eat! If you're not in the mood for hot dogs, an Italian Beef Sandwich is a must. You can't leave without trying one or both of them!
Salt Lake City: The Beehive House, where polygamy reigned supreme!
LA: Do the whole tourist thing! Mann's Chinese Theatre, etc. Marilyn Monroe's star is in front of the McDonald's.
Texas: Try chili made with armadillo. It's kinda skunky, but you'll be able to say you tried it!
MidWest: Whataburger is another great chain not mentioned. So is International House of Pancakes (IHOP).
Columbus: Home of the first American Soccer-Specific Crew Stadium. A fellow Canadian works in the front office and may get you a discount! 
I won't add more - you've gotten plenty of ideas! Oh, there's a book that has goofy sites, like where the largest ball of string is - I'm sure someone knows the name. Have a safe & wonderful time!!

I agree...the food wasn't good but it was something you have to see once.

You have not seen the states until you've....had North Carolina BBQ (Western is better than Eastern and I think they are both better than Texas BBQ)  . Although I know you're not coming to the South so this doesn't apply to you. 
Also, if you're going to be in San Antonio you've got to go to the Riverwalk and all the fun bars and restaurants there.

Agreed! North Carolina BBQ is my comfort food, my dad used to do barbeques all over the south on the weekends when I was little, cooking NC style BBQ for at least 600 people a weekend. He had his own grill and everything. And his "secret" vinegar sauce is to die for. He only does one a year now for the police department in town but I beg him to make it everytime I am home. Ohhhh it is so good!
