For what special foods is your town/area known?

[SlowwHand]

Gawd. Vienna Sausage should be outlawed. NAS-ty!

You're thinking of the little cocktail weenies.

im going to live 4 blocks from pike place market. im gonna try and get a job tossing fish or working at a coffee place.

the one place that i went when i was first deciding to move up there was the best steakhouse ive ever been to. Fleming's. that place was so ****ing good. too bad it cost like 75 dollars a plate otherwise id go there once a week.

its really a shame im not a fan of seafood other than calamari, but i think ill grow into it. but seattle promises to be a great food place like the bay area. ive already found a great 24 hour by the PI building(newspaper) called 13 coins. thats just a short busride or a long drunken walk away from my apartment.

[SlowwHand]

Yeah, I am.

MRT144, if yer gonna be that close to PP (you living in Queen Ann's town?), you'll be close to the Hurricane. On on of the streets leading down to PP is a Japanese resteraunt with awesome sushi, called simply enough, Japanese Cuisine.

There is a fantasic Jazz bar in the area, went there three nights when I was there for a weeklong seminar. Paul Allen's theater is over near there also.

I love Seattle. Probably the only place that could make me forget Chicago. I'm not leaving Florida though. I'm not done with it yet.

Memphis BBQ is indeed the best there is. Too bad I can't eat it anymore!

And Chicago pizza is great--if you like a mouthful of dough instead of actual flavor.

I grew up in Maryland, which is best known for crab, especially Maryland crab cakes. MMMMMMMMMMMM.

Now that I'm in NY, of course, there's pretty much anything and everything. The pizza is superb, no matter what the misguided Chicagoans may say! Great Chinese food is abundant in Chinatown, and I know many who say NY hotdogs are the best ever, though I wouldn't know.

I think we win in terms of deli food. You can find the best delicatessens in NYC, and they serve fantastic food in massive quantities. Just order a sandwich at the Carnegie Deli and you'll see what I mean.

The only thing we don't do well, IMO, is Mexican food. I've yet to find a truly satisfying Mexican restaurant in this town, although Blue Moon Cafe and Benny's Burritos are both pretty good.

Scrumpy.

It's like cider, except it's opaque, often only semi-liquid, and toxic.

im actually living in belltown. ill have to find that jazz bar asap, maybe get a hosting job there. im really in desperate need of a job when i get up there but im sure something will come along.

since i will be a college student and i will be paying for my own food i figure i might as well work food service and get at least one free meal a day or something while i work.

A town near where I live is known for its kuchen, which is a German pastry that's quite tasty.

In Jersey, we are known for our cranberries (we even have a town known as Cranbury ) and blueberries... and of course the great pies that come from those fruit (IIRC, after California, we are the largest producer of bluberries and cranberries). And of course the pizza. Delicious! NJ pizza is just about the same as NY, except for Boardwalk Pizza which is a bit more greaser, which makes it heaven on Earth. *drool* Also the Zeppolis are amazing, as well as any kind of Italian food. NJ has a lot of Italians (no the Sopranos isn't that far off ) so our quality of Italian food is off the charts.

Atlanta has a lot of great variety of food. We have wonderful Thai and Vietnamese because of all the East Asian immigrants that have come to that city. Also we have wonderful Mexican food because of the large Hispanic population in Atlanta. But, #1 is of course, the BBQ and Southern cooking! I never knew what real BBQ was until I came down there. Sloooooooww cooked for hours, and juicy and delicious. Best ribs you'll ever have.

Damn.. I'm hungry.... and for BBQ ribs too . Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until the end of the summer to get some of that.

Nothing, so far as I know.

Actually, I have a dim memory of CT claiming that Pizza was invented in New Haven, but NYC has better Pizza anyway. I just sampled a bunch of it this past weekend.

We have pretty much everything, but I don't think we're "known" for any of it.
