KC is the supreme master of BBQ and I'll fight anyone that says otherwise.
Buffalo for chicken wings, I'm pretty sure not even one of the cheap pizzerias in town can fuck up wings as bad as some of the places outside of Buffalo (I'm looking at you "Buffalo" Wild Wings).
Chivettas Chicken, Sahlens Hot Dogs, and Beef on Weck are probably the three other big Buffalo foods.

The "KC BBQ" people know what's up.
I've spent almost a decade stuck in the South but my home is Missouri and I'm from a KC suburb. KC has the best BBQ around, hands down. I haven't had much anywhere that compares or comes close to it, amongst top-rated "Voted Best in the Country!" places and hole-in-the-wall hidden treasures alike. I've certainly had "good" BBQ outside of MO but there is a very large gap between "good" and "KC-tier."

Have you checked out Schmidt's yet? They have really good traditional German food!
There's also Hounddog's pizza on High street. A garlic smoky joe's pizza is where it's at!
I did go to Schmidt's. That was pretty darn good.
Have not tried Hounddog's pizza yet. I've done Donatos, Adriaticos, and one other that was terrible so I can't remember the name.
West Virginia - Pepperoni Rolls. Dear lord, they are so damn good!

Home Town: STL
Food: Toasted Ravioli
Current Town: Siloam Springs
Food: there are some good breweries close by (and one that is set to open this next year), but food, cheese curds? Never heard of them before we moved from NorCal to NWA.

With 8x the land area and less than half the metro population.
Don't get me wrong I like your crazy French fry burritos but they're not better than a Super Burrito up north.
San Diego metro population is 3.3 million. If there's something listing San Francisco's metro population as 7 million or more then I can't find it.
Chow Mein, my area makes a special type of chow mein noodle that is exclusive to it that you can't find anywhere in the country as far as I'm aware and it's super delicious. Chorico (a local Portuguese sausage) is also delicious and chorico and chip grinders and chorico pizza are delicious. Having a million Dunkin Donuts everywhere is pretty nice too.
"Nine-county" is significantly larger than San Diego County and Orange County combined in terms of land area.
CSA is larger than San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles counties combined.
STL. We do Gooey Butter Cake and Toasted Ravioli. Both are so. Damn. Good.
Also shout out to St Louis style pizza. Feel like it isn't mentioned enough.

For Bremen, Germany, I think anything Haddock. But then again, German cuisine isn't really worth talking about, lol. (We rule in baking bread, though!)
People always shit on STL-style pizza over here in KC and call it stuff like ketchup on crackers or whatever but honestly two of my favorite pizza places over here are STL-style. It's delicious and very very underrated.
Austin - BBQ. Salt, pepper, indirect heat. Anything more than that is a distraction - a way to add value to an otherwise lacking product. If bbq is reliant on sauce, it fucked up.
El Paso - Tacos. El Paso's tacos are incredible. They don't do soft corn/flour tacos, or the abysmal corn shells that are like Taco Bell. Instead, it takes after a Northern Mexican cuisine - lightly frying a corn tortilla with carne deshebrada inside. The tortilla is flaky and moist, and cheese melting into the lettuce and meat. It doesn't have the speed of a good soft corn taco, very much the hallmark of a street taco. But its what I miss of El Paso the most. Being a bordertown and a sister city to Ciudad Juárez, El Paso's Mexican food is hard to top. Places like LA have good Mexican, but El Paso is different.

After growing up in STL, I order thin crust wherever I go, and I convert quite a few people to thin crust. But I have never heard ketchup on a cracker bit, must be KC STL haters. ;)
But Toasted Ravioli and Gooey Butter Cake, no one else does those. I get my wife (Phoenix born and raised) to make Toasted Ravioli for my birthday! Well that and cheese cake, who is famous for cheese cake?
My HOME state in New England is good at apple cider donuts.
Chicago isn't good at anything. Deep dish is gross.

You know what's up, lol. We have great Cuban sandwiches here. Not to mention, our Reubens. Yum. :)
*drools*
It's been so long since I've had a fish taco. I think you decided what my dinner tonight will be. :)
Anna Maria looks extremely beautiful, by the way. I'm from Brooksville.
Went to Nashville for the first time recently. Got some good sweet tea like here in Florida.
Biscuit Love and Peg Leg Porker were good too!
Home state is Oklahoma
If anyone knows what they cook well or are known for let me know. 90% of if is fast food.
And don't say BBQ when KC and Texas are next door.

Samimista hope you enjoy!
It's been a while for me, but they're my favorite food back home. Anna Maria Is definitely gorgeous. I was so afraid it was going to be devastated by the storm, but my friends and family got so lucky. I've never been to Brooksville, but I have heard of it. Post pics if you take 'em :)
You should head over there and go to The Beach House some time!

Shanghai has a great food scene. It's really just a microcosm of Chinese cuisine. You can find every kind of Chinese dish here.
Shanghai is most well-known for its xiaolongbao (soup dumpling). It was created here, and it's damn good.

I've also found Shanghai's baozi (steamed buns), wonton and noodles to be way above average.

As for where I'm originally from (Vancouver), probably anything seafood-related. Sushi and ramen are killer in Vancouver as well.

Yup. Pretty much every type of food is done well in NJ. Jimmy Buff is amazing too!
Ohio here, pretty good at Buckeyes (Chocolate Peanut Butter balls).
I live in Cincinnati though, which is pretty well known for good Chili. Skyline is great. Gold Star is...not as good.
Oh, and Greater's makes great ice cream. It would be on par with Ben and Jerry's if B&J didn't have more interesting flavors.
