Do bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches count as a New York regional specialty? Does pizza? Does anything???Uriah Heep posted:Come autumn in the northeast US nothing slaps quite as hard as apple cider donuts . Not sure how regional they are, in reality I'm sure you can find them anywhere but they are a new england staple for sure Oh man, apple cider donuts are literally the only thing I miss about Massachusetts.

There are great examples of both styles but for the most part the new trendy places are all brick oven while the old mom n pops are all Greek style.

I did get a new greek pizza place near me but covid killed it. Which sucks because they actually did a taco pizza like the place I grew up. I think I'm down to one option for greek pizza and they aren't on dineinct so I never think of them also they don't do a taco pizza.

I guess the closest thing Toronto has is the peameal bacon sandwhich and the only place I know to get it is at St Lawrence market. Pretty good tho. Tbh Canada is kinda rubbish for regional cuisine, def not on the scale of the States. But I was back in Tobago this year which definitely has a bunch of stuff. Stuff like: Crab & dumpling  Doubles*  Assorted sweets such as tamarind balls, sugar cake, red mango, almost exclusively sold by street vendors near the beaches  Malta  And I also had a cocktail containing puncheon for the first time, a 75% ABV rum that tastes like gasoline.  *OK, this and other stuff is popular in Trinidad as well but I definitely associate them with growing up in Tobago.

I had a steamed cheeseburger once (the place that makes them is on the other end of the state from me) at a food truck festival I wasn't all that impressed but the guy manning the truck volunteered "we're the only place that even makes them like that, I think. Crazy, huh?" and he didn't get I was making fun of him with "Yeah, I can't imagine why no one else would do this." All it did was create a wet burger. Extra effort and time for a burger that wasn't an improvement to the standard thing.

I've steamed some burgs on top of onion slices a few times, I actually like them as an occasional change. They pick up some mice onion flavor and keep a lot more liquid in so they have a different texture. "Good 'n' moist" is how I'd describe them, and what my slogan will be if I ever open up a restaurant for them.

Pennywise the Frown posted:Oh yeah, broasted chicken is a big thing here. The broaster was invented in Wisconsin! Yeah def popular around Wisco. But, it does seem to wax and wane over years. For example, right now it's not that popular here in Green Bay, but, several years ago you could get it anywhere, and it seems to shift like that. Like, in 3 years? I bet it'll be everywhere again. I'm not real sure what's up w/that. But it is a relative constant. You can always find it SOMEWHERE.

I’m honestly surprised CT doesn’t really have its own hot dog variation. We got coneys but that’s more specifically a New England/NY regional thing.

Aside from the typical maple [blank] , blank being syrup, sugar, candy, or just flavor added to anything, Vermont has a few other local/regional things. In North Western VT and across the lake in the Plattsburgh, NY area we have Michigan Dogs.  The name comes from the Coney Dogs you can get in Detroit, which get their name from Coney Island , which doesn't really have these dogs? I mean...at its core, it's a chili dog, BUT a specific type of chili that, originally, was made by Greek immigrants. So it's not usually hot spicy, but might have flavors of allspice, clove, oregano, etc.. And never, to my recollection, with beans. Also similar to the 'NY System' dogs in parts of CT Then topped with raw white onions and yellow mustard, on a New England-style hot dog bun. We also got creamees. What's a creemee? A creamie is just local slang for soft serve ice cream...maple being a very popular flavor, naturally. Some claim the mix used in places around here has a higher milk far percentage, but probably not. No one can decide just how to spell creemie , either. There's also The Vermonter. A sandwich with honey or maple roasted turkey, sometimes ham, red onion, sharp Vermont cheddar, honey or brown mustard, and apple slices, ideally a local one, and a tart, crisp variety like Macintosh. On whole wheat.

Chopped Cheese. Which is s surprisingly elegant idea that no one thought of until like 5 years ago. Just take ground beef and grill it together with cheese, onion, pepper, and tomato on a roll. It started out as a cheap sandwich to use over leftover ingredients at a bodega and now people are charging 12 bucks for it.

Well I'm about 50ish miles from the dead center of Chicago but the Chicago dog is the way to go. That's my #1. #2 would probably be a chili cheese dog, and then #3 a Seattle dog. edit: Here's Triumph the Insult Dog and Jack McBrayer at the famous Weiners Circle in Chicago.

Man I love Chicago dogs, even if they go completely against my usual feeling of "less is more" for sandwiches and stuff. Nothing better than a Chicago dog and cheese fries for a good old unhealthy meal.

When I was a kid they'd give us huge mason jars of it. I hated it. It was so thin and strong and I wanted Aunt Jamima thick fake corn syrup. Man. I was a loving idiot. Each one of those mason jars would be like $30+ now. At the very least. Probably closer to $50.

Someone already beat me to it, but I live in the middle of Maryland. We eat blue crabs with Old Bay seasoning on them. Marylanders put Old Bay on everything, which is a bit much. Again, mentioned already but another regional specialties includes Pit Beef, which is from what I can tell just a sliced roast beef sandwich. There's Smith Island Cake, which is like a lot of really thin cake layers with frosting in between and it's really good. Someone said something about PA Lebanon Bologna earlier, which is amazing. I can't think of anything else regional about Maryland cuisine that's notable. Natty Boh doesn't count since it's not brewed here anymore and it tastes just like PBR, Lone Star, Hamms, etc - or maybe it does because nobody else drinks Boh anywhere else.

I present to you the Indiana pork tenderloin. Personally, I like smaller diameter, thicker tenderloins than what is pictured, but these are OK if not rather ridiculous. Some are paper-thin and are questionable as to whether there's actually any meat in them.  Sugar cream pie. Another Indiana classic. These are usually really good or really bad with no middle ground.  I'm sure both are probably more Midwestern, but Indiana seems to be the epicenter for both.

We Hoosiers definitely take credit for both of those. Never had a tenderloin sandwich because I would feel self-conscious eating it. I’ve heard of sugar pie being called Hoosier pie sometimes so I guess it does no harm to assume we invented it.

Captain Hygiene posted:I like the spare bun, all ready to go if you want to make another 1/10 of the tendo into a second sandwich Obviously, no, she meant four sets of buns, and it was about that size so each of the four sets of buns had about two more buns' worth of tenderloin hanging out the side. I cut it in four pieces and got to work. As I finished the third Pork Quadrant, she passed by the table and said "I've never actually seen anyone finish one of those" so I said "do I get my name on a plaque?" and she said "no" so I said "O.K., can I have free dessert or something?" and she said "sure!" so I finished it. And the free bag of powdered donuts. I did not suffer any ill effects from this expedition, but I think that was actually the time where I said "you know what, I am not impressing anyone, and I get nothing out of being the guy who can eat the most, so maybe I should stop"
