In the USA, meat has always been pretty cheap and widely available, so (with a few exceptions) most American cuisine developed around relatively expensive parts of the animal.

There are some American foods that are made of offal and random bits, but they're mostly regional, like scrapple, and "soul food".

The Far Northeast, Manayunk, Center City are all pretty safe. Fishtown doesn't suck.
