Cincinnati Spaghetti: Spaghetti with chili on it. Yeah... they're insane.

Actually, it's the other way around. It's Cincinnati Chili, which features spaghetti in the chili. The name of the place that made it famous is Skyline Chili.

Where I live now, Naples, Florida, they have an enormous 'seasonal' pattern. People from the Midwest (mostly), Canada and New England come here for the better part of 5 to 6 months. (We're coming up on the beginning of it next month.)

There is such a huge Midwestern influx here, there are Ohio State and Michigan alumni associations here.

And yes, as you head towards downtown on the main-est of main streets here, is a Skyline Chili. Probably the only one not in Cincinnati. I keep meaning to go in, but haven't in the 3 years I've been here.

When I lived in Ft. Myers, the joke was any time you saw a multi-car pileup you could find a blue haired lady with Michigan looking through the steering wheel to drive 20mph in the left lane of the freeway just a mile ahead.

Now, the best resturant chili I eve had came from Jo-Ann's Chili Bordello in Winter Park, Florida.

On my trip back east I wanted to eat the "signature" dishes of each area:

Boston - Clam chowder, Boston Cream Pie and of course, I had Sam Adams beer

Maine - Lobster, and a bartender talked me into trying duck sausage, which was incredible

New England States - For breakfast I had pancakes with New Hampshire wild blueberries and Vermont maple syrup.

PA - Philly Cheesesteak

New York - Cheesecake, and a pastrami on rye at Stages Deli, also a salami sampling from Dean & Deluca in SoHo, and a Nathan's Dog in Coney Island

Baltimore - Crab cakes (no crab cake I've had before or since has come close)

Virginia - "She Crab Soup" which was incredible, and Magic Hat #9 beer

"The South" (NC, SC, GA) - Fried chicken, collard greens, carrot souffle, fried green tomatoes on cheesy grits, hush puppies (didn't like those so much) and boiled peanuts (didn't like those so much, either). Also went to Emeril's in Atlanta

Here in California - Wine, seafood, organic food, artichokes, Diamond almonds, SF sourdough, and incredible produce.

I'm surprised this has gone on for nearly 3 pages and no one has mentioned Idaho potatoes. You can't get a good baking potato in the supermarkets here because all the good ones are sent to restaurants all over the country. And there is the Idaho Spud candy bar made by the Idaho Candy Company in Boise. Its been around since the early 1900s.

OMG KaDEWe! I haven't been there in 30 years, but still dream about it. Yes to anything there.

But I'm thinking dogs elsewhere too and street food in general. I'd have to go with a cold Vienna night from any street cart - Wurst(any of the three choices 40 years ago) mit Brot (Semmel) und local Senf then hot chestnuts to eat & keep my hands warm til the streetcar comes. Also Vienna in the 60's:
Gulash, fried mushrooms and hot lemonade at any Gasthaus. Linzer Torte cookies and choc covered cherries at any bakery.

Makes me also think of other European street food. Have to go also with Brussels - fries with their mayonaise, any style of mussels,and Neuhaus chocolate.

No matter where, I never feel like I'm getting a real deli sandwich outside of NYC. Even turkey or tuna, but definitely corned beef, pastrami or roast beef. Just never tastes as good as any deli in NYC offers.

Going back to the dogs theme...now this was L.A. in the 80's...Dodger dogs and warm peanuts from the seller/ thrower at the game. Carnie's on Sunset (not Pink's or Tommy's) made our favorite chilidog & chiliburger. It's still there.
Mon Key opened LA's eyes to fresh Chinese Seafood. It's not as good anymore..changed hands maybe even now closed.

San Diego was a disappointing town for food when I moved here 20 years ago. But I was smitten with fish tacos at The Brigantine, now they are everywhere- often pretty soggy/ limp, local grilled fresh white corn at the Del Mar Fair, and Julian Apple Pie...even love their tins.

I suspect Andre Bourdain is my Dream Dom.

Anthony Bourdain:No Reservations is who I've got in mind. I think he would be the funnest guy ever to hang out with and explore cuisines, judging from his show. Don't know what your correction is about.

The Anchor Bar in Buffalao NY, original home of the Buffalo chicken wing.
Rochester NY has a restaurant that originated the "Garbage Plate", 2 hamburgers, 2 hot dogs, no buns, beans, covered in hot sauce. The restaurant,Nick Tahoes, was a 24 hour joint downtown. The garbage plate was traditionally eaten at 3:00 AM after the bars close.

Kyttyn was referring to your original post where you refer to him as "Andre Bourdain."

There used to be a market just before you crossed the bridge into Kennebunkport that had the world's finest lobster rolls.

Totally forgot Harris Ranch in California. They are known for corn fed meats, no hormones, so tender it falls off the bone. There is a private air strip for all the rich and famous who fly in for a meal! It's in the Coachella valley, off I-5, sort of an oasis for anyone driving from southern, to northern Ca. We order online since our relocation, I have yet to find better steaks or tri tip.

Along with the sourdough (oh, how I miss the sourdough!), crabs boiling on Fisherman's Wharf.

I'm a big fan of tri-tip too (thanks, Ven!)

Now, I have a sad, sad, confession.

I hate hot dogs with a casing.

I'm a heathen, I know!

Are there any dogs/sausage/whatever that are done without casings besides the stuff you get in a grocery store?

You have not had a hot dog until you've had a Yocco's hot dog. They have been shipped all over the world!

Imagine... a meaty, juicy wiener, grilled to perfection. Take that meat, and place it in a slightly steamed bun, then add spicy mustard, finely diced onion, and Yocco's secret sauce (hot dog chili). The first bite is truly a blissfully epicuriean orgasm. Add a pint of HERSHEY'S chocolate milk, and it's a fast food meal that's almost heaven.

You lost me at grilled. Ken and I don't agree on much, but on hot dogs we do...Yeah, Nathans are ok with mustard & kraut, but pale in comparison to a Vienna Chicago Style dog.

For some reason Indiana is known for their Breaded Pork Tenderloin sandwiches, as well as Popcorn.

There are sausages cooked/smoked/aged in casing and then the casing is removed before sale. BTW most casings are simply collagen.

Greetings all....

I think this is suitably off topic for most people here. <grins>

I recently visited someone in a city I have not been to before. The person I was visiting is a native of it and said I should try their "famous food". So I figured, right...get the out-of-town guy to try something most of the natives don't eat. She told me about it and I googled it and found out that yes, the natives do eat it and many of the tourists don't know about it.

It got me to thinking about signature food for various cities. There are some foods which either have the city name attached to them or are identified with a particular city. Things like Chicago Deep Dish pizza, Boston baked beans, Philadelphia soft pretzels, Baltimore soft shell crabs on a bun, etc.

My question is what other foods can people think of that you could call a signature food for a city? Perhaps even for a state like Maine Lobster or Vermont maple syrup?

Oh....before you ask, the city that prompted this was Reno, NV and the food was the Awful Awful. <grins> It stands for awful big and awful good and it lives up to its name. http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=awful+awful+reno&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Be well....

Malkinius

Greetings:

I am glad that you approve of my dinner choice while you were here, Master.
