Famous local foods

[Suicidebree]

So last year I drove Across the country for vacation but in each place we stopped we tried to eat either the famous local food or from a famous local place. Being from Jersey we knew there were things we could only get here but here are the foods from Jersey as well as some of the ones we hit along the way. What are some foods from Jersey I don't know about or ones from where you are from?

Jersey:
"Grease truck sandwiches" - Rutgers based trucks that make sandwiches that have chicken fingers, fries, cheese steaks, mozzarella sticks and red sauce on them. You can basically get whatever you want on them all mixed together.

White castle: Know they are in like ten states but people not from Jersey don't tend to know them

Jersey dogs: Fries and a cut up hot dog inside a hollowed roll

Philadelphia:
"Pat's King of Steaks" Obviously just the best cheese steak anywhere.

Philly pretzels

Maryland:
soft crab cake sandwich

Memphis: Rendezvous Ribs. Best dry rub ribs ever

Florida: Aripas corn cakes with Mexican white cheese inside

Cuban sandwich

New Orleans: Alligator Po boy's

California:
Pyzanos pizza - insanely weird pizzas

In and out burger

Oregon:
voodoo donuts - all kinds of donuts include jay Mohr nyquill donut

Wisconsin: Fried cheese curds

Omaha: Steaks

Kansas City: BBQ

Chicago:
Giordanos stuffed deep dish pizza

chicago hot dog

Cleveland:That pasta chili and cheese dish

Pittsburgh: Primanti brothers and The O
Primanti is sandwiches with fries Cole slaw and thick bread

The O is just massive hot dogs

Also just outside of Pittsburgh is the beer barrel pub which makes worlds largest burger

Massachusetts: Clam Chowder

New York:
totonnos pizza

dirty water dog

Egg cream

katz deli

I always get them when I go to Key Largo at Ballyhoos.

Hog Maw, basically the German version of Haggis. Meat, potatoes, spices, in a pig gut and baked.
Slippery Pot Pie.
Apple Dumplings
Chicken Corn Soup

Tastykakes. Junk food, local in Pa and NY I think.

[Hudson]

Butte Montana...
Pasty..basically a meat pie turned into a big pierogi...meat, potatoes, and onions wrapped in a pastry shell and smothered in brown gravy....good and filling Freaking good...
Pork Chop Sandwich or WOP CHOP I don't know what hellspawn created these damn things...They are hugely popular out here dunno why...a breaded and deep fried porkchop, pickles, onions, cheese, and yellow mustard on a bun. I found it puke inducing

[GoCamels]

North Carolina = barbecue (NO dipshit, not what you think cooking on a grill is)

Eastern NC style...chopped shoulder or Boston butt with a vinegar and red pepper sauce

Western NC style...chopped with a more tomato based vinegar sauce

that mountain, South Carolina shit with a yellow mustard sauce is just retarded

Ohio = a tenderloin...it's a deep fried, chopped beef, pounded flat, about the size of a Little League catchers mitt on a bun

Florida Keys = conch fritters, at least they were more localized to just there when I was there in the 80s

[Jef Leppard]

Chicago:
Giordanos stuffed deep dish pizza





dont judge us by mall pizza

Not by a long shot. That, along with Geno's is a tourist spot. Between the two, go for Geno's.

Try Tony Luke's, Jim's, or Steve's Prince of Steaks. All three of them are far better than the South Philly tourist joints.

All American Burger Massapequa NY...

[gleet]

Idaho = an elk, grilled

[mik3]

Jim's is the best to me, and the people working there are always fun.

Also, with jersey. Although it's in other states, pork roll. And the "jersey burger" burger with pork roll egg and cheese on top.

To add to NY - Grey's Papaya

[Suicidebree]

Wow, I cant believe I forgot pork roll. Greatest food ever.

I wasnt sure if I should go with grimaldi's or totonnos. one of the old charcoal places.
also in the city the doughnut factory and formerly piesanos

I didnt like Tony luke's, big pat's fan.

I loved giordanos stuffed sausage and spinach. great stuff. I've actually ordered it throught the mail since then.

Also on a roadtrip, not necessarily a regional thing, but you gotta eat at a cracker barrel and a waffle house at some point in life.

[Hudson]

There is a Freaking Awesome! restaurant in Sturbridge Mass.

The Publick House...
Who knew apple pie with cheddar cheese could be a good taste combination for breakfast?
Oh yeah Grizzley Adams is buried there

Fun Fact: there is/was a Cracker Barrel in Shark River Hills NJ...dunno if it was part of the chain...

[FullBallz]

Rutt's Hutt in Clifton, NJ has the best hot dogs I've ever had in my life. I always grab about 15 dogs before every Giants game and head on over to the tailgate and they're gone in 10 minutes.

Nelly's in West Long Branch got me thorugh many a-night at college. It's a knock off of the Greasetrucks but it's an outstanding knock off. Fat Willie or Fat Nights for me. There was always an unwritten rule that you had to order Nelly's past midnight. It's just that kind of food. The Windmill (hot dogs) was another staple in college but I never thought it was that great.

Drake's cakes rule here in the Northeast. Yankee Doodles and Coffee Cakes rock the fat ass.

Also Boylan's. They have some bitchin' Black Cherry, Birch Beer, and Cream Soda. Not sure if it's just a tri-state area thing or if it's other places too.

Been to Primante's in Pitt but wasn't a fan of the sandwich. Looked good though.

I'm going to San Francisco in February. Any food joints/local dishes I should check out? Please hold the gay jokes.

Also going to Montreal in March. Any help there would be cool.

You guys should check out this show on the Food Network. It's called "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." This guy goes all through the country checking out the local fare. Great show and it makes me want to go around the country checking these places out all the time.

[maz]

Also, with jersey. Although it's in other states, pork roll.

do you prefer Taylor's or Case's ?
here around Philly ,we always had Taylor's
but a couple weeks ago i got some Case's at Pathmark
i'll have to do a taste test of them
some lazy sunday morning


as far as cheesesteaks
had Pat's/ Geno's/ Jim's
all years ago after a night of boozing
they all did the trick
but i liked Jim's the best

after a rainy Phillies opener 2 seasons ago
had one at Chickies and Petes
it was fucking great

[Suicidebree]

I didnt use the quote feature.

San francisco is considered one of the best fine dining cities. It has great cHinatown and little italy. Try anything having to do with fish because of how fresh everything is. What they are most famous for is the cofee house, sourdough bread, and cheese shops.

Montreal: First of all poutine. Its french fries with cheese curds and gravy is my memory serves me. Its like there national dish.
Second Bagels. Montreal has their own style of bagels.
Tim Horton's donuts. If poutine is the national dish then this is a close second.
Finally if you eat high class food, more specifically pork and foie gras. Anthony bourdain recommends Au Pied du Cochon restaraunt.

Also for New Jersey I thought up two New Jersey musts. Hot Dog Johnny's has probably the best hot dogs and circh beer anywhere. You can eat a dozen dogs and still be hungry.
The other one is Pete an Elda's in Neptune City. Paper thin pizza you order by the pie. Finish it and get a free shirt.
In central jersey, middletown to be exact check out Pasquales Pizza 3. I work there and the Buffalo Wing Pizza and BAcon Cheeseburger are amazing. The different types of pizza slection is unmatched.

Weirdly, the best pork roll to me from a non-butcher is the shop rite brand.

[Hudson]

Grits... South...mostly, but oddly, made alot in Johnstown Pa...covered in Maple Syrup and butter, and fried...meh not a fan.

[Lil'GlubGlub]

I used to work in a nursing home and we used to make cornmeal mush. Made with yellow cornmeal (basically polenta), but there was a fried version the old people went nuts for. it was still loose, but had crispy bits in it. they ate it with molasses.

[norton23]

Boston is best known for lobster.
Legal Seafood baked stuffed 2 1/2 wil bury you SO fucking good,,,,on Cape cod we have the Landfall restaurant which is right on the water next to the Woods Hole Oceanagraphic Institute where they did the Titanic stuff (amoungst other things ;)) And they have great Swordfish, awesome chowder, and great cod as well.

That's another one= Cod (obviously)

so

Boston= 1.) Lobster
2.) chowder
3.) stuffed cohog
4.) Cod
5.) Boston Baked Beans
6.)BOSTON CREAM PIE!!!:clap: http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.slashfood.com/media/2007/10/bostoncreampie1.jpg
7.) Cranberry Juice

QFT

Steve's Prince of Steaks off the Blvd is very good, fuckin slathered in Wiz

Jim's on South St. is also good even though in "touristy" area

[Nortonsmeatytit]

scrapple

I introduced skillet fried (the only way to eat it) Scrapple to a friend visiting from Germany a couple summers ago and he lost his mind over it. The first person to actually market Scrapple in Germany would be a friggin millionaire. They love sausages and shit like that and Scrapple is like right up their alley

[WMB]

Philly = Tastey Kakes.

Cole slaw, fries, roast beef, tomatos, cheese, on a sourdough bread.



They also serve these types of sandwiches in Celeveland, in the Flats. If I remember they call the place Paninins'. Whenever I went to the Flats, I would end a night of drinking, with one made with Pastrami.

If you're ever in Sandusky, Ohio. Try the Steakburger at the Old Dutch Tavern. On Thursday's night you can get one with up to 5 of a variety of toppings for $2.00.

As for back in NYC. Try a Shack burger at the Shake Shack or a hot dog at Grey's Papaya.

[EvilMonkey71]

My suggestion for Chicago is skip the hot dog and try one of their other local specialties: the Italian Beef Sandwich. Had one at Portillos in Chicago and it beat the hot dog, hands down. Soooo damn good.

The deep dish at Malnati's in Chicago is pretty darn good

In NYC, Lombardi's is the coal oven pizza place for me

In Boston, Santarpio's pizza wins hands down

[Jef Leppard]

the best way to get a a beef sangwhich is to just say......
beef ,hot,sweet, dipped. and no this is not a french dip. ask for a french dip and most likely you be looked at like youre a retard

[seeinred]

It's not credited to the Finns up north, it's credited to some other nationality that manned the copper mines with them, although I forget who at this moment.

And as for those steaks, what the hell is Wiz?

In Pittsburgh, the sandwich is a Permanti... see Permanti bros website. In Cleveland it's the Pannini. Excellent sandwiches (get pastrami, coleslaw, fries, and a fried egg). The Panninis are grilled as well. Anywhere between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, get wings at Quaker Steak and Lube. Parma Periogies, Parma, OH. Awesome perogies. Old Dutch Tavern is Sandusky is great. Angry Bull in Huron awesome dry aged Angus steaks. Somebody mentioned on page 1 cinncinnati chilli. It's not from Cleveland, it's not chilli, christ-on-a-pony it has cinnamon in it, it's an abomination. Gross. The resturants The Harp and Lola are also a favorite in Cleveland.

Chicago - Lou Malnatis deep dish
Richmond- roasted oysters, guinness, and soft-shell blue crab, and boiled peanuts
Minneapolis- real vietnamese food, the local stuff minnesota food is bland and awful, a little bar out here called Hoppers in Waconia, MN - great burgers

any roadside place in the south - grits, ham steak w/redeye gravy, biscuits, cracklins

fast food crap?

if you're on the northside, try finding an illegal foie gras hotdog.
Ricobenes breaded steak sandwiches are the win, too.

New Mexico - Sopapillas and green chile (not necessarily together, although a stuffed sopapilla is the best meal ever)

[shuganuts]

In Rochester, NY- a lot of restaurants have the Garbage Plate which can vary, but the most popular is fries and macaroni salad topped with either hot dogs or burgers (no rolls) and all topped with texas hot sauce (basically chili). RIDICULOUS when your out drinking. The original is at Nick Tahou's, but you may get shot or stabbed there.

If you like Hot Dogs and live near Philly you have to try this place,

Texas Weiners on Snyder Ave off Broad St. in South Philly. The Hot Dogs are the best I've ever tasted. The Texas Tommy's are to friggin die for! Smoke some of the shit that killed Elvis and go here w/the munchies, you'll fucking gorge yourself silly

Jim's in Springfield is fantastic. There or Tony Lukes.

This might've been the worst thread to read while starving.

I didn't feel like reading the rest of the thread. Chink's on Torresdale Ave. I've only had one from there and I can easily say it was the best I've ever had. I'm surprised no one mentioned a Panzarotti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzarotti). Taylor Porkroll, Amish market scrapple, Tasty Cakes, and Booby Chez Crab Cakes.

I went there during the time when this "controversy" was in the news.

Haven't been by there in years. Last time I was up that way
the neighborhood had really gone downhill. Too bad.

Don't even THINK about trashing this until you've tried it-- it's nummy:

Cream of Peanut Soup

King's Arms Tavern
Colonial Williamsburg
Williamsburg, Virginia

Serves 10-12

¼ cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
3 tablespoons flour
8 cups Chicken Stock* (or low-salt canned chicken stock)
2 cups smooth peanut butter
1 ¾ cups light cream or half-and-half
Finely chopped salted peanuts, for garnish

In a large saucepan or soup pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring often, until softened, three-five minutes.

Stir in flour and cook two minutes longer.

Pour in the chicken stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until slightly reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes. Pour into a sieve set over a large bowl and strain, pushing hard on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible. Return the liquid to the sauce pan or pot.

Whisk the peanut butter and the cream into the liquid. Warm over low heat, whisking often, for about five minutes. Do not boil.

Serve warm, garnished with the chopped peanuts.

[Wilmington WOW]

phila - water ice, nicks roast beef, hoagies, pulled pork

baltimore - old bay crabs

[Suicidebree]

Hey just noticed this. Explain it.

Fieed trinkies, fried coke and fried oreos are all created by the same guy at a county fair in the couth and they spread from there. The oreos and the twinkies are covered in a sweet batter and flash deep fried.

Fried coke consists of balls of batter mixed with Coca-Cola syrup, which are fried and then topped with more Coca-Cola syrup, whipped cream, cinnamon sugar, and a cherry.

I've had the oreos, amazingly good. Never had the other two.

[Jims Rottweiler]

Where are all my Detroiters in this thread? You haven't lived until you've eaten a Lafayette Coney Island. No other coney island will do. Lafayette. Period.

[Myhairygrundle]

Chicken fried steak is pretty much a staple around here.

Take a piece of stringy beef, pound the shit out of it, batter and deep fry it. Top with gravy. I always take a piece and dip it in the mashed taters before shoveling it in my mouth. In college, the served it a the dining hall and we would call it "chicken fried what's inside?"

[SurlyTruckDrivr]

just moved to FL, but one thing I already miss are the Portuguese restaraunts in the Fall River, Mass area. Chorico and chips (fries) sanwiches from Billy's cafe, pork and little necks from O'Gils. All the portuguese restaraunts have great steak plates. And, it was alredy mentioned, but Mass/RI is known for the coffee milk too. Great stuff. Another good place in RI is Spikes hot dogs, there was a scene from Dumb and Dumber filmed there, the opening scene I think, great dogs there.

I gotta say, I've lived in Western New York my entire life and I have never heard of a Garbage Plate. It looks like someone's dinner and they were too lazy to seperate it. I guess depending on what combonations it could be good.

Since no one else will, I'll represent Buffalo in this thread and submit the Beef on Weck. It's rare roast beef and horseradish on a Kummelweck roll. The Kummelweck is similiar to the Kaiser roll, but topped with pretzel salt and caraway seeds. I have to admit I never had a Beef on Weck, but that is because I don't like roast beef or horseradish.

Menches Bros., akron, oh.

Northeast PA....gotta be Old Forge style Pizza....call it square, sicilian, whatever...I haven't had good pizza since I moved away from home. Fucking awesome stuff.

As for Philly, Jim's or Tony Luke's...forget that touristy stuff, though they're not horrible. Geno's is better than Pat's, but not by much.
Profera's Pizza.... I lived for that shit on Fridays at School....

Chicken fried steak is pretty much a staple around here.

Take a piece of stringy beef, pound the shit out of it, batter and deep fry it. Top with gravy. I always take a piece and dip it in the mashed taters before shoveling it in my mouth. In college, the served it a the dining hall and we would call it "chicken fried what's inside?"

This pic is for breakfast.

I don't think you are really breaking any new ground telling people about this new thing called chicken fried steak. :action-sm

[Kool Aid]

There is a place in Sedalia MO that serves the GOOBER BURGER, a hamburger with peanut butter...

also in the midwest a big item is the Pork Steak...

Right...just like nobody had ever heard of pizza before this thread. After all, CFS is what makes T.O. run so damn fast! :action-sm

Have a blessed day.

In Rochester, NY- a lot of restaurants have the Garbage Plate which can vary, but the most popular is fries and macaroni salad topped with either hot dogs or burgers (no rolls) and all topped with texas hot sauce (basically chili). RIDICULOUS when your out drinking. The original is at Nick Tahou's, but you may get shot or stabbed there.


I was going to post about the Garbage Plate. I think the best plate is at Mark's Texas Hot's on Monroe Ave. A little safer then Nick's, other then the off night where some guy trys to shoot the bouncer with a shotgun and gets some innocent kid. Good plate tho

[AnthonyC60]

Got a few that are missed for NJ:

Burgers:
Without a doubt White Mana in Hackensack, these motherfucking little precious morsels shit on white castle, hands down the greatest little burgers dare i say the world.

Take out Chink food:

Lotus Café in Hackensack, on River Rd-fucking amazing

Hotdogs:

Rutts is great but Hiram's is forgotten in Fort Ree (Fort Lee), deep fried hotdogs but bigger- fan fuckingtastic

Some Rhode Island foods:

Best dogs up there are either New York System or Spikes Hot Dogs- Spikes has amazing rolls and they put all kinds of crazy shit on their hotdogs.

Sandwich:

J's deli- if your in RI you must go here, best fucking sandwiches around, they make all kinds of fucked up shit, and the number one thing with a sandwich is bread, and their bread is killer.

[grail]

I have another one.

The Pubwich... Gino's Pizza anywhere in WV but the one in South Charleston is my favorite. Fresh baked bread piled HIGH with sliced Lean Ham, 100% Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded Lettuce, Tomato, Onion and our special dressing. Then baked to a warm goodness.

Not that anyone would ever come to Buffalo, but...

Wings - Don't bother going to the Anchor Bar, it's hack. For the hottest, tastiest wings go to Duff's. Mr. Bill's has jumbo wings with a great flavor that isn't too spicy.

Pizza - LaNova is the best pizza I've ever had. They even have a suburban location now so you don't have to risk getting shot.

Subs - Bozanna's - Ridiculously huge subs. I blame this restaurant for WNY being one of the most Obese cities in America

Jim's Steak Out - Great 3 in the morning subs. Also has suburban locations now for the same great food without the risk of being mugged or puked on.

Grover's - Gigantic, greasy burgers. Also has pretty good wings, but not great.

[stellarcomics]

that mountain, South Carolina shit with a yellow mustard sauce is just retarded

Oh FUCK YEAH!!!
I was just about to say that. I'm from SC and I HATE that shit!

Let's see; Cincinnati has maple-syrupy Chili on-top of spaghetti (I kid you not).

That place is considered one of the busiest pizza places in the world. I used to work in the pizza business and that place is like the crown jewel, what everyone wants to be.
Are they the place with the potato and dandelion pizza?

Never heard of potato dandelion. I think this is the pizza they're most famous for:

Best party food, not good the morning after.

My suggestion for Chicago is skip the hot dog and try one of their other local specialties: the Italian Beef Sandwich. Had one at Portillos in Chicago and it beat the hot dog, hands down. Soooo damn good.

The deep dish at Malnati's in Chicago is pretty darn good



Italian Beefs - Johnnys, Q's, Manginos or Mr. Beef are all good. Got to go with cheese and mild peppers

Deep Dish Pizza - D'Aggostino's - love their tomatoes and sauce, Pequods - they carmelize cheese on the crust, it is fantastic

Deadbent mentioned it, and Ricobene's breaded steak sammich with red sauce, cheese and sweet peppers is the shit. You feel bad about yourself after you eat it, but it is great at the time. Really messy too, I remember my buddies and I having them in the parking lot before a White Sox game, good times.

WINGS!!! My favorite,,,,I heard one of the local sports guys saying "what am I supposed to do in Buffalo on a Sunday night after the Pats/Bills game?" The answer was EAT!!!! Lot's of great places to mow up there from what they were talking about.

Well the sign outside says subs. If you call them hoagies that's ok too. We call them heroes around these parts. :action-sm

...and definitely make that a mandatory stop when you go to AC.
