I hear alot about Kansas City BBQ, too.

A state, but not a city, but Maine has its lobsters.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned NYC. All over the country, I see alot of pizza places & chinese places have signs that read "New York-style pizza" and "New York-style chinese food". And New York-style cheesecake!!:liplick:

We can't forget about Rice-a-roni, the San Francisco treat!

Boston is known for it's Clam Chowder

There's also Manhattan Clam Chowder. IMO, Boston CC tastes a million times better than Manh.CC.

This thread is making me hungry as well. Everybody pretty much nailed this thread.

Philly- Cheesesteaks, cream cheese, ALSO- soft pretzels
SF- Rice A Roni
Detroit is famous for a lot of local franchise pizza places i.e. little caesar's, jet's pizza etc.

Maryland & Florida are both famous for their crabs


I believe Buffalo is known for buffalo wings obviously & fried bologna

Wisconsin is known for cheese of all types (& beer)....

I probably know more but that's all I can think off right now.

what is Pittsburgh known for though?

I've visited Pittsburgh qute a few times, I can't think of any foods that come to mind but Pgh has something I've never seen anyplace else. Downtown, on the south side of the city they have Mt. Washington, a very steep hillside. On Mt. Washington, there are two chairlifts that go up maybe a mile apart from each other - the lifts are called the Monagahela and Duquesne inclines.

FYI, Pgh is a very beautiful city. Very hilly. The steel mills have been long gone. To me, it has the geography of San Fransciso and the tempermant of a midwestern city like St. Louis. Rx'd for a visit if you're east. If I ever move from NYC its one of the places on my list. Charming city. It's been voted the most liveable city in the past and ususally is in the top 10 someplace.

From my visit to Cincinnati I remember the chili. Here's something from Wikipedia on it.

Cincinnati chili (or "Cincinnati-style chili") is a regional style of chili characteristically served over spaghetti or as a coney sauce. While served in many regular restaurants, it is most often associated with several fast-food chains in the Cincinnati area, including Skyline Chili, Gold Star, Empress, and Dixie[citation needed]. The chili is mostly served in restaurants in the Greater Cincinnati area, with locations in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. However, it now can be found in locations in Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.[citation needed]

Steak n Shake and Coney I-Lander, two restaurant chains, serves chili over spaghetti in a similar fashion to Cincinnati chili. Steak n Shake in particular shares naming conventions such as "three way" chili and "four way" chili. However, the two chains make no claim that their chili is Cincinnati style.[1]

According to the Greater Cincinnati Convention and Visitors Bureau, Cincinnatians consume more than two million pounds of chili each year, topped by 850,000 pounds of shredded cheddar cheese. Each September, the city celebrates "Chilifest" at Yeatman's Cove at the Ohio River, with food and entertainment.[

Scrappple was created in Philly and I never like it. People eat it with Scrambed eggs.

Wrecky, where's the better place to get a Philly Cheesesteak- Gino's or Pat's?

wtf lol


i found that out in 2002 when a reporter from philly was in st louis for the championship game.

Wrecky, where's the better place to get a Philly Cheesesteak- Gino's or Pat's?

It's funny because Philly has a poll each year that the newspapers and people vote on, as far as what the best cheesesteak spot is in Philly, and it's voted on each year. Well in a 5 year span at one time, their were 5 different number one places, so Philly is a landing zone for cheesesteak spots.

I have a friend who lives on Passyunk or h/e you spell it, off of Pat's, and Gino's used to be good, but I'll go with Pat's King of Steaks. Great service, great prices and great cheesesteaks their!
