Restaurant USA: What dishes/products would your State bring to the "table" [Archive] - The DIS Discussion Forums

We had some great suggestions about products and food that Epcot's America could improve their restaurants/stores with...

What food/products would your State be proud to serve/offer??

For North Carolina, I would be run out of town on a rail if I did not suggest Carolina BBQ.. we have two varieties.. Eastern NC Style BBQ and Western NC Style BBQ. The first has a mustard based sauce and the latter has a tomato based sauce.

YUM.

According to the Orlando Sentinell, the "beer drinking brat eating cheeseheads" will think twice before voting for a candidate who can't pronounce Lambeau Field. Therefore, I declare it would have to be brats and cheescurds. I love FL to death, but it really sucks not being able to get cheesecurds.

If cheese curds are fried bits of cheese...you can get them at the A&W on Highway 192 just east of the intersection with SR 535.

They are delicious, especially for fast food.

For products, you could put Vera Bradley stuff in the gift shop! The Vera Bradley plant is in Ft Wayne...but I don't really associate Vera Bradley with Indiana. So maybe scratch that one off of the list...lol

I used to love going to America in NYC when we lived there. It was a restaurant that featured food from all over the country. Anything from pb&j to grilled cheese. It was a great place to eat. The place is closed now, but I think the one in DC is still open.

This would be a fantastic idea for Disney to add to the America Pavillion...because I just run right by it. You give me a menu with memphis bbq, fish tacos, maryland crab cakes, etc and I'll be there.

For me buffalo wings were already mentioned...but I'll add spiedie to the list.

Unless people are from New Jersey apparently, they have never heard of taylor ham. I used to go into Publix and ask them to order some for me, and it just made thier little sun bleached heads explode. Last year they started carrying it (finally!!) and my cholesterol hasn't been the same since!

I LOVE Taylor Pork Roll!! Nothing better than a Taylor, egg and cheese in the morning. Slice it thick and you can serve it just like ham with eggs over easy.

OF course I second (or third) those Md. Crabcakes. Should be some Old Bay in those anyway, and offering steamed crabs at a WDW pavilion would probably be too messy for them to ever do.
For a lunch item, how about the Chicago Hot dog?? Love those!!

DisneyKevin

It's not something you would probably enjoy if enountered for the first time as an adult. I think the part of your brain that screams "THIS CANT BE GOOD FOR ME" would probably take over and not allow you to enjoy it on it's own merits.

You would not be entirely incorrect in thinking that it's SPAM-like but to it's really not SPAM at all. SPAM always has that sort of "eewwww" quality.

Pork roll in our house is most often consumed as a breakfast item. We grill a slice on the panini maker, add a slice of the cheese of choice and a fried egg on a half of a toasted bagel and you are good to go.

Someone else has mentioned that pork roll, egg and cheese on a hard roll is a NJ "tradition".

I think it's taste can best be described as a very happy marriage of ham and bacon.

As I have stated many times before, I spent my childhood going to the Jersey shore on vacation.

Back "in the day" there was a pork roll stand on the boardwalk in Wildwood and a slice of grilled pork roll on a hamburger bun, with a slice of American cheese and yellow mustard accompanied by an ice cold birch beer was the lunch treat of choice.

As Pete has mentioned, it is (for some unknown but blessed reason) available at many Publix Supermarkets in central Florida. Other than that it is rarely known outside of the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware area....unless you were lucky enough to go there as a kid.

I think it is hit and miss. We can find Taylor ham here in MD and purchased some when we knew we were going on a trip to Ohio because where DH's grandmother lives in Ohio, they don't sell it. Breakfast with the big family just wouldn't be the same without it! We did it a bit different though - we did eggs, ham, and cheese on biscuits. Each to their own, I guess! :goodvibes

There was a "Taylor House" on the Boardwalk in Ocean City Md. in the early-mid 60's. Probably VERY similar to that one in Wildwood.

Let's see, since moving to Kentucky, I've tried several new foods. Most distinctive to the state would be:

Country ham (heavily cured, thinly sliced ham)

Burgoo (kind of a cross between BBQ and stew)

Moonlight BBQ (Recipe now available in stores based on old restaurant recipe)

Chess pie (think pecan pie without the pecans, but with cream added)

And the usual Southern items: hushpuppies, cheese grits, beans and ham, sweet tea, ham and biscuits, corn pudding...

There was one in Atlantic City and Cape May as well. They had knotty pine paneling and these weird little school desk-like places to sit and eat

I can remember being hot and sricky, my feet covered with sand and having lunch there.

It's part of some great childhood memories.

A Pittsburgh speciality is Chipped Chopped Ham. I think it might be like the Taylor ham. It was made by a local chain called Islay's. They have gone the way of the Dodo, but they have left a fond memory in many hearts and you can still buy the ham. They also invented the Klondike ice cream bar.

I suppose we could also do the turkey thing...being the home of the Pilgrims and all, and don't forget cod (even though I wish I could...I hate cod cakes, and stuffed quahogs, but they're local favorites, too). And brown bread. And clam fritters, and corn fritters. Cranberry bread, sauce, juice,wine, jelly. Did I mention sauteed chicken livers, a la Durgin Park? Clam pie? Oh, the list goes on and on...

And if you hungry for something sweet but don't have any pie or cobbler handy then in a pinch try a biscuit with honey, jam or cane syrup. Oh and I almost forgot lemon squares - can't have a party without them!!!

I'll chime in for St. Louis.......

St. Louis style pizza - super thin, baked like a cracker, little bit of sweet italian "gravy", piles of toppings & gooey stick-to-your-mouth provel cheese
Toasted raviolis - pasta raviolis like Mama made and dropped "on accident" into the deep fryer, dip 'em into more "gravy" to eat as an appetizer
Gooey butter cake - another accident that stuck around......a yellow cake with extra butter and extra eggs, cooked crunchy around the edges and left gooey in the middle, great for breakfast or dessert

And of course, BUDWEISER! Not a beer fan myself (I'm a mojito girl - thank goodness Bud now markets Bacardis!) but you can't have St. Louis food without the Bud!

So, when do we open this restaurant? I am hungry after reading six pages of goodies......

Fried Green Tomatoes has to be about the only truly Alabama confection I've ever seen. (I've never even tried this dish, but we are famous for it.)

Here are some other Southern favorites:

Iced Tea, Fried Catfish, Hushpuppies, Chicken Fingers, Pulled Pork BBQ with White BBQ Sauce, Okry, Squash, Cornbread, Moonpies, pork rinds, peach cobbler, blackberry cobbler, turnip greens, cornbread dressing, lemon ice box pie.

Oh and a nice side of coronary artery disease.

It doesn't look like anyone has posted from Illinois yet ... I'm from near Chicago, so these are Chicago foods, not necessarily the rest of the state.

Top of the list! - ***Deep-dish Chicago Style Pizza***
Chicago Style hot dog - Loaded with nearly everything you can think of EXCEPT for ketchup.
Polish sausage (served pretty much the same as the hot dog or with sauerkraut)
Italian Beef sandwiches
Eli's Cheesecake

Of course NONE of this is healthy!

You got it! My first thought was the Deep Dish Pizza & Chicago style hot dogs. But the Italian Beef & Polish from Maxwell's...definitely! And Eli's cheesecake for sure! I think that wraps up us Chicagoans...we like our fatty foods. lol :)

Is that corn on a hot dog?? EWW!!! :eek:

For NY, I'd add Beef on Weck to the Buffalo wings. :thumbsup2

Sorry NJ, but we have the best pizza and there's nothing like a real Coney Island or dirty water hot dog. (Hold the corn ;) )

For breakfast, pass me a NY bagel. :)

You would not be entirely incorrect in thinking that it's SPAM-like but to it's really not SPAM at all. SPAM always has that sort of "eewwww" quality.

When bad things happen to good sentences......sorry I couldn't resist. :rotfl2:

I think you need to leave that poor sentence alone.

In this case you need to go after the typist.

I think he should be fired.

Yeah, well...I've never seen corn on a hot dog...but it was the only picture of a red hot dog (on the right kind of rolls) that I could find!

So, ok...red (snappah) hot dog, no corn. Delish! Nothing like the pop of the natural casing!
