Chicago
In Chicago, we have pizza made for men by men Chicago Deep Dish Pizza with pizza ingredients, not foofy, Californiay, granola, fruity ingredients. You eat it, you’re full and had the rest in the morning.

Chicago Vienna Hot Dogs. The best. It makes a Nathan’s taste like McHotdog.

We can’t claim create for inventing it it but we do Italian food better than anywhere else in the country.

We have other specialties like the best fresh water lake front and improv comedy , then of course there is the political graft, black on black crime, idiotic politicians, tax mis-spending where we excel but those aren’t food.

"Would that be the same as in the song......

"Jambalaya, goldfish pie, file gumbo
" ?"

"Jay it’s Jambalaya, crawfish pie, fie lea gumbo.im a gonna see my Cher amyo."

Sorry guys, that was my attempt at humour. Actually I did for many years believe that was how the song was sung!

Regards,

Jay.?

It always amazes me how other parts of the country define a hot dog. We have a pretty specific definition here.

This is a fun thread.

I don't know that we have any particularly regional cuisines here in the rural / small town Midwest, though I imagine that some of the dishes I take for granted are much more common here than elsewhere and would perhaps qualify as regional. That said, I never feel more quintessentially American than when I'm drinking a cold beer while grilling burgers on a charcoal grill during the summertime. Burgers on the grill remind me of everything that made summer magical when I was a little kid.

Right now it is Scallop season on Florida's west coast, Citrus County has the longest season,the Homosassa Springs area is where I go. Besides being great fun,all that you need is some snorkeling gear and a mesh bag,it's like an adult Easter egg hunt. Once harvested and cleaned there are a variety of ways to prepare them,I prefer just a light dusting and sautee,delish!!

I've seen a couple mentions of the NC BBQ but it's so good I'll discuss it again. I actually just went to a pig pickin' last weekend and it was phenomenal. It's hard to beat the low and slow cooking method and basically no matter where you go in the state you'll find some pit master dedicated to the craft and waking up before the sun rises to start the smoker.

It's definitely a down-home feel, the best BBQ joints aren't fancy or high-society type of places. The hole-in-the wall shops serving it on paper plates are often the tastiest BBQ you'll ever find. There aren't any shortcuts to good BBQ and the traditional methods are still used all across the state to make some of the tastiest meals you could ever hope for.
