The famous Berger Cookie from my hometown Baltimore, Maryland. A shortbread cookie coated in the most ridiculous amount of dark chocolate fudge you've ever seen. Many thanks to our German roots!
Those look amazing. I must plan a trip to Baltimore.1 -
I live in a melting pot town of the Chesapeake Bay, so we have a lot of cuisine from all over the world but I would say we are known for our seafood as we are located right off a bay. Crabs, oysters, clams, sea bass are big here.
We’re also in the south so we’re also known for southern and soul food. Va ham, collard and turnip greens, fried chicken, all forms of grits (I prefer cheesy grits with red-eye gravy but also like shrimps and grits), and I make the best dang cornbread you ever did eat. I could go on but now I’m getting hungry.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, you ain’t looking!

We have kolaches here, also Czech, made in our bakeries and recipe handed down by my grandmother. But they look nothing like yours! Ours are more of an open faced, baked pastry with a fruit, mince meat, poppyseed, or other filling on top. Yours look amazing![/quote]
True Czech kolaches are the open faced fruit filled pastries you describe. I'm not sure when things took a left turn and what we now think of as kolaches around here became kolaches.1 -
Wicked Whoopies!

This post is killing me.1

Burritos smothered in green chili (either hot, mild or half’n half) and topped with lettuce, tomato and cheese, and guacamole and sour cream. This image is from google but it’s Santiago’s my favorite place in Northern Colorado! Mmmmm....when I go back to visit now I have to get mild and even then my stomach has issues, lol. I used to be able to eat the hot any and every day of the week.

Chicken Riggies, Utica Greens, and Tomato Pie are my hometown's local favorites.
I am not overly crazy about the first two, there are many times I wish I could have found a piece of tomato pie. (high crabs)midlomel1971 wrote: »Vinegar-based BBQ (with slaw natch) and hush puppies = my favorite meal EVER!2 -

We have a couple of kolache places here, the fruit ones are open faced, the savory are like the ones pictured. I won't turn down either. The one places occasionally will sell some with Pappy's BBQ in them. Pappy's is probably my favorite BBQ in St. Louis.1 -

It's all about the fish and chips with scraps (little bits of fried batter)
@ruqayyahsmum as a Yorkshirewoman, I approve of this post.
I now live in Boston MA, so it's all about the clam chowdah and Sam Adams' Boston Lager.
I love Yorkshire curd tart and parkin, I'm over in Sheffield now2 -

And here I am right in the middle of NC BBQ hash country and even back when I ate mammals, I was not a fan. I still eat chicken and much prefer the hot and sweet tomato based sauce; a leg quarter whole is my favorite.0 -

Huevos Rancheros in New Mexico...
Two eggs (usually fried), potato, pinto beans over a tortilla and smothered with red or green chile and cheese...I prefer red for Huevos.
I usually have this for Sunday brunch at Casa de Benevidez once every couple of months.5 -
They're spreading across North America now, but deep fried cheese curds are a favorite here in the dairy state of Wisconsin:

I don't really have a hometown as in a single place I grew up as a kid, but where I am now in San Antonio, TX, I think the most iconic dish that could be considered odd by outsiders is breakfast tacos. Flour (sometimes corn) tortillas filled with an assortment of things - refried beans, bacon, cheese, onion, chorizo, sausage, egg, potato, etc. They're quite tasty.

Hahahaha! @mom23mangos that's how my sister is about it. But then, she is grossed out by pies as well 😂0

I'm south of Boston and couldn't think of anything, cuz I hate clams. Another thing we have is New England Seafood Dinners and lobster rolls, which I don't eat either.
Frankly, I prefer other people's cuisines. If I could only eat one, it would be Thai.0 -

Does a Dunkin Donuts Boston Krème Donut count as a local delicacy?5
