I'm from New York, so here's my dishes that I think are delish..

Chicken Riggies:

Chicken riggies or Utica riggies is an Italian-American pasta dish native to the Utica-Rome area of New York State. It is a pasta-based dish usually consisting of chicken, rigatoni and hot or sweet peppers in a spicy cream and tomato sauce, although many variations exist.

Salt Potatoes:

Salt potatoes are a regional dish of Syracuse, New York, typically served in the summer when the young potatoes are first harvested. They are a staple food at fairs and barbecues. In the Central New York region where they are the most popular, potatoes specifically intended for salt potatoes can be purchased by the bag along with packages of salt.

Garbage Plates:

A Garbage Plate is a true Rochester delicacy. It is a disorganized combination of either cheeseburger, hamburger, Italian sausages, steak, chicken, white or red hots, a grilled cheese sandwich, fried fish, or eggs, served on top of one or two of the following: home fries, fries, beans, and mac salad. A plate is always made to order. Then, the plate is adorned with optional mustard, onions and Rochester's version of hot sauce. Some restaurants will charge for extra helpings of hot sauce, and the hot sauce varies widely in flavor and spiciness. A plate is usually served with a side of white bread and butter, though some restaurants charge extra for bread. It is said that the purpose of the bread is to soak up the grease left after you've eaten the garbage plate.

Svið (pronounced [ˈsvɪːð]) is a traditional Icelandic dish consisting of a sheep's head cut in half, singed to remove the fur, and boiled with the brain removed, sometimes cured in lactic acid.

 

[jstripes]

I don't think any food was invented in or around Toronto.

 

[KDR_11k]

I'd say currywurst but lower Saxony has garbage tier currywurst, other locations are much better at that.

 

[norm9]

My favorite local dishes are tacos, In & Out cheeseburgers, and Tommy's chiliburgers.

 

[mambadragon]

crabcakes

 

[teruterubozu]

Maine

About $4.50 at the dock. Somehow it turns into $45 when plated in Manhattan. lol.

The $6 charred street dog.

Geez...

I'm from Ottawa so it has to be poutine.

It's junk food but i like to have mix fix every now and then.

Also an Ottawan, I'd argue it's shawarma

Lower Saxony and Currywurst in the same sentence?

As someone from Westphalia I would say Grünkohl with mettenden is the best.

Kale with potatoes and mette ends.

 

[acheron_xl]

I don't really miss living in Iowa. But I do miss Maid Rite.

We have poutine in Maine too. Lots of Canadian tourists who can't live without it!

Meh. i have it now and then but it doesn't have the same cultural impact that poutine has. Plus i have more fond memories having it at 2 am in my uni years.

Craziness! I'll have to visit maine. Lobster and poutine sounds like heaven.

 

[Selddon]

not too big on a lot of southern dishes but this is a match made in heaven

 

[habithipster]

 

[Wandering Robot]

New Orleans, and probably boiled crawfish or étouffée. Beignets, too, if they count.

 

[mhayes86]

I grew up in Maryland.

I'm not too familiar with local dishes in NOVA since it's a melting pot of cultures.

 

[kris.]

Burnt ends from Kansas City. you poor bastards will never know.

Five Guys

Also, I miss blue crabs since moving to the West Coast. Dungeness crabs are inferior.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

So salt potatoes are just potatoes with salt thrown on them?

 

[Osahi]

Stoofvlees friet.

Beef stew with a brown beer sauce and french fries.

Scottish Munchie Box: Heart stopping collection of everything drunk people think about.

Yes this is fries a kebab for some reason, pakoras and onion rings and you name it. Some include fish, pies fried chicken etc. This one has a "salad"

 

[geomon]

Gator Bites

Also from Maryland, blue crab is delicious but if you're a big person or just eat more than most it's an ultimately frustrating meal. The labor to meat quotient makes it virtually impossible to satiate yourself.

 

[JCHandsom]

Utah: Pastrami Burgers and Funeral Potatoes

 

[Gigarator]

Eccles cakes

 

[TFGB]

The Banoffi Pie was invented in the Hungry Monk pub which is a 5 minute drive from me.,
(even though it's no longer a pub) here in sunny East Sussex.

The original recipe can be found here.

So yea...I'd say that was my favourite local food.

 

[StrategyFan]

don't know what california local food is
i don't think california rolls count

but there's some korean-mexican hybrid stuff that might be from here. that stuff is great

 

[Cross-Section]

Crab-stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon and smothered in monterey jack cheese.

Not the best picture, I know, but just... just roll with me here.

 

[MrMephistoX]

Not from Chicago ( and natives will probably kill me) but I actually like Giordano's stuffed deep dish the best and I've tried Lou Malnati's and Gino's East multiple times. Portillo's is probably my overall fave though and now that I live in L.A I go if I'm ever in the OC for business or post Disneyland.

 

[Fancy Clown]

DC/MD area, so I'm about them soft shell crabs.

Shit is this called Camarones Apretelado's? There's a place run by Guadalajara immigrants up in Portland that has this on the menu and it's great but oddly enough I haven't found a go to Mexican place in the San Gabriel Valley aside from delicious Food Trucks and Drive through stands.

Yep, from a place called Macarios in Indio CA, actually. It's practically a small house near the freeway but also some of the best Mexican food that I've ever had.

Spoiler

Though that's kind of a misnomer knowing that this area in general is just lousy with fantastic-quality Mexican food.

 

[Gig]

Like the op said the Mohawk Valley has some good food. I love Utica Greens and Half-moon cookies.

Banoffi? Is this some Mandela Effect stuff? I've only ever seen it spelled Banoffee

It's amazing though, however you spell it

 

[Ginger Hail]

Pork roll. Best breakfast sandwich around the NJ area.

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

Minneapolis: Jucy Lucy

A cheeseburger with the cheese cooked inside the burger patty.

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

[Pickman]

Tampa roll sushi.

Deep fried grouper, special orange sauce, mayo, and green onion. Sometimes with avocado, sometimes not. Always delicious.

sounds like just our garbage plate

 

[Falchion]

I'm near the Chesapeake Bay so there's all kind of crab around here. Crabcakes and crab dip for pita chips are both amazing.

 

[ohkay]

Not sure it's just a local thing, but a BEC (bacon egg and cheese sandwich)
