My State Food is Better Than Yours

[Lila95]

Here in the midwest (northern IN) we love beef...thick juicy steaks and the best burgers ever. We are only 2 hours from Chicago so we also like to copy their famous Chicago style pizza. One piece of that delicious stuffed pizza and you need to undo the button on your pants and lay down for a nap

Hard to believe the earlier CO poster missed that we invented the Cheeseburger, thats right it took coloradan's to put cheese on top! Plus the Denver Omellette, pretty good way to start the morning!

What is poutine??

French fries covered in cheese curds and gravy. Not exactly diet food.

From Jersey here....nothing beats any eggs in a real diner or a porkroll, egg, and cheese on a hard roll from any deli. Make sure the porkroll is cut really thin and fried to a nice crisp. You can have a months worth of cholersterol by 9am!!!

What I wouldn't give to have one right now! miss it, miss it!

Yup, they take hot French Fries, top them with cheese curds, and then slather hot gravy on top so the cheese melts...

This is very popular in Quebec and New Brunswick, not so much in other provinces. My boys loved the stuff when they were teenagers. I actually think it is disgusting, but it's about the most "Canadian" food I can think of - I've never heard of it anywhere else.

KANSAS CITY, BEST BBQ EVER!! Try the Burnt Ends!! Awesome!
I know this will be debated by folks from Carolina, Texas, Tennessee,
I could go on but you get the idea. Had them all, our is really the best!

I'd like to qualify this by saying... just because you've heard of Bryant's, and the last six Presidents have eaten there don't assume it's the best... IMHO, it's not.

You are SO right on both of these comments. KC DOES have the best BBQ and Arthur Bryants isn't it! It is good...but certainly not the best.

No one from CT yet?

Lobster Rolls-Lenny & Joes is only about 10 min from me & the original is about 15.

Pez- well it is made here

Pizza-Pepe's in New Haven (actually the Food Network visited it's sister, Sally's).

Hey there, also from Connecticut. How about Harry's in Colchester.....best burgers! Harry's was actually in the restaurant magazine that Delta has in the seat backs of the plane. DH just mentioned that he heard Pepe's has great pizza.

I'm a Texas gal, and I'll have to second the earlier poster about the TexMex food around these here parts! Anytime we travel, I can't wait to get home to get some real TexMex food.....enchiladas, queso, tamales, fajitas...yummy!!!

 

[Kanga1]

From the Mountain State...pepperoni rolls!!

 

[magiroux]

New Hampshire here--
ROAD KILL!

If we hit it, we truck it & cut it & freeze it!
Oh, jerky's big, too

We went to PA one year we noticed all the dead deer on the roads--wow! those suckers would never be hanging around for long up here!

President and Laura bush ate at the Rendevous just a couple of months ago. It can be shipped anywhere in the US in 48hours. Also Corkys bbq is out of the world and which you can buy on the hsn and noone can make bbq spaghetti like Neelys Interstate bbq. Yall need to come to the Memphis in May festival and eat the BEST!!!! I have eaten bbq at other places and they just dont measure up.

 

[Deb & Bill]

I've had Alabama BBQ and did not care for it. I've had it other places and did not care for it. Texas has the best BBQ in the world. But it still doesn't beat food from Louisiana.

Louisiana may not be first in many things, but it is first in good eatin'.

 

[TiffinyKC]

Here's another hat in the ring for Kansas...

Number 1 is the BBQ, try Fiorella's Jack Stacks (out of Kansas City), I promise you that it will be some of the best BBQ that you will ever eat...they mail order by the way.

Number 2 is the steaks, Kansas City strips baby....they don't come any better, so good there will be no steak sauce necessary.

Number 3....beer, but who am I kidding....that's good anywhere.

Go Kansas Go

this turned out to be a really fun thread...it inspires me to continuing traveling

i agree.

i admit not my intent for this thread...i was in a way poking fun at those who have a need to point out their food from (insert home town here) is better than the disney version.

but, as the i<3Disney points out - this is fun to read.

 

[MEG&MINNIE]

Can I add one from Maine??? (I am not from there) but a Maine Baked Potato with everything but chives for me. And guess what I will be eating one on Tuesday at the Big E.

I love the BIG E ...I grew up in Springfield and going to the BIG E every year is just sort of my tradition (if I do happen to miss a year , I don't worry since it never seems to change much) My favorite thing to do is "sample" some of the foods in each of the State Buildings.....I love the Clam Fritters in the Rhode Island Bldg. and the Maine Blueberry pies !!!

 

[Deb & Bill]

So where did deep fried Snickers Bar and Mars Bars start? Also deep fried Twinkies?? I know they sell them here during the Revel.

 

[adrock1976]

No one can top the seafood in Hawai'i...except for maybe that Maine lobster!
