Best regional food/drinks thread

I'm on the crackberry, so I need a desription.

 

GOD, YOU ARE NEEDY!

Ingredients (Makes Two Hot Browns):
2 oz. Whole Butter
2 oz. All Purpose Flour
1 Qt. Heavy Cream
1/2 Cup Pecorino Romano Cheese, Plus 1 Tablespoon for Garnish
Salt & Pepper to Taste
14 oz. Sliced Roasted Turkey Breast
2 Slices of Texas Toast (Crust Trimmed)
4 slices of Crispy Bacon
2 Roma Tomatoes, Sliced in Half
Paprika, Parsley

 

Hot browns are a Thanksgiving weekend tradition around our house.

 

Don't know if it's regional or not, but I had a Gargantuan at Jimmy John's a little while ago.

Good night, all. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 

Ditto on the Michigan triumvirate: Faygo, Vernor's and pasties.

From Montreal -- the Montreal bagel (crispier, lighter and coated with sesame seeds). Get 'em hot at St. Viatur's bagels. Not far from another phenomenal stop -- Schwartz's Smoked Meat. Medium-fat on rye.

Also -- full-bellied fried clams from Woodman's in Essex, Mass.

And Del's Frozen Lemonade all over Rhody.

 

I'm confused about the regionality of Vernor's. I remember having Vernor's here (SoCal) when I was a kid. And, trust me, I was a kid a long time ago.

 

Vernors is now owned by the Dr Pepper folks, but its' original to Michigan. Outside Michigan and surrounding states, availability is spotty.

 

I'm eating my first bag right now ... spicy cajun crawtators. Good call, Steak.

 

Baesler's Supermarket in Terre Haute, Ind. is the greatest grocery store I've ever shopped at. Seriously.

 

And they're in Jersey, now.

 

You can get Goose Island in Kentucky/Southern Indiana.

 

And whoever mentioned Skyline Chili, thank you.

As far as I'm concerned, if you don't put noodles in your chili, you're doing it wrong.
