I had the displeasure of having to have a taste of Lutefisk. I can only describe as Fish Gelatin.
New York and Chicago are known for their hot dogs too.
California — Roberto’s #99 Carna Asada Burrito.
That is the opinion of the list’s author. Notice I said in #2 I don’t want to live in a world in which the lobster roll is not in the Top 12. The lobster roll is a Great in my world.
I love Cincinnati chile. Skyline all the way.
Corrections:
1. Pecan smoked brisket. Texas
2. Bratwurst. Wisconsin
3. Crabcakes. Maryland
All three can knock your socks off. And numbers one and two are a very tight race, neck to neck at the wire.
“Obviously never been to any of the fine Basque eateries in NV (not in LV).”
Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing
IMHO, the best hot dogs in North America come from street vendors in Toronto. Your choice of several different buns, many different dogs and sausages, every possible condiment, and you can pay with loonies.
Chicago deep-dish pizza #1? Obviously the author has no respect for at least a majority of tastes. Certainly he is aware that most people simply cannot “stomach” deep-dish pizza? Or is he daft?
In Colorado we’ve been eating marijuana brownies since the ‘60’s...and they’re enjoying a BIG resurgence recently...though not by me!
My wife is from near Cincinnati. She likes Cincinnati chili which being a Texan I tell her ain’t chili and ain’t spaghetti sauce neither, something in the middle maybe. They serve it on spaghetti and it’s a lot better than some of the stuff higher on the list. I get a little tired of Texas being saddled with brisket as it’s food of choice. Yeah we eat it a lot but it’s not the best food we have. Still I enjoyed the list as I have spent at least a little time in most states. At least Hawaii didn’t get stuck with poi, incidentally the first 3 letters in poison.
Ditto on the writer’s FAIL on properly understanding the Runza and its cousins. I don’t get to Nebraska all that often but I do like to get a Runza when I’m there. I might even try making some soon.
We lived in New Mexico, and I LOVE the food there. New Mexico enchiladas are my favorite though I do love enchiladas from Mi Niditos in Tucson as well. I never had a great love for chimichangas in Tucson, but my oldest son and my hubby do love carne seca chimis from a few restaurants. Hubby likes them with sauce, Mexican cheese, and lettuces and tomatoes all over the top. Son doesn’t like the added gunk. But he is in heaven with a good chimi on his plate. We went to a Mexican restaurant in Alabama recently, and son ordered a chimi. He was sickened with how they ruined it with their white Velveeta like cheese and other yuck on top. He was sooo sad. Lol. He learned quickly that Sonoran Mexicans are not the same as the Mexicans in Alabama. Well duh. Just like Americans from the Northeast don’t cook the same as Americans from the Southeast. :-)
My other favorite food in New Mexico is the sopapilla. It is not the same anywhere else. And sopapilla a are served before or during your meal at restaurants in Albuquerque. Mmm Mmm Mmm.
"The Mission-style burrito is especially great because, nowadays, you don't have to go all the way to California to get a good one. In fact, you can even leave California at 125 miles per hour, screaming and crying because your organ systems are rightly rejecting the state of California like a grafted-on walrus tail because California is awful, and still get a tasty Mission-style burrito pretty much wherever you end up! This is because a Mission-style burrito is just a really . . . large burrito with extra rice and [deleted] in it. Mmmmmmmm."
You insult Pennsylvanians sir!
Anyone true Pennsylvanian knows that the definitive Pennsylvania food item is Wet Bottom Sho-Fly Pie!
We have a basque restaurant in Bakersfield Ca that all the stars from Hollywood eat at when they are passing through. Check out Woolgrowers website.
People from other places have no idea what Basque food even is. When I have relatives come from back east we always take them there to eat.
Their Foodspin archive is worth a bookmark as well.
Minnesota - Fresh, still flopping in the pan, fried in bacon grease on the shore walleye.
You need to go to Rawley’s in Fairfield CT. Little red house on the Post Road that was converted to a carry out dive sometime after WWII.
Their specialty is deep fried hot dogs. Blows away pretty much every other dog on the planet.
Star Hotel or Nevada Dinnerhouse in Elko will do nicely, thank you. Lamb chops along with the salad, soup, biscuits, spaghetti that is served before. Sweetbreads are good as well. That is a real Nevada feast.
Hawaii consumes more Spam per capita than any other state. McDonald's and Burger King both serve Spam in Hawaii.
Spam+Hawaii? Let me Google that for you.
Yes. It. Is.
