I suspect there are similar places in Europe and they might be cheaper


Barcelona / Catalonia is the region for that kind of food. They originated it. Or I guess Minibar right here in town since Jose Andres worked at El Bulli.

Santa Maria style Tri Tip bbq. Central Coast of California. You need the oak, so not easily replicated elsewhere

Fresh whole artichoke and dungeoness crab on the California coast with a local wine and sourdough. Season is coming soon!

I’m intrigued. It’s on my way from home to family, so maybe I’ll try it.


There are great local ones available in most gas stations!

Jambalaya in Louisiana

Crabcakes in Maryland

Crab cracking on the bay in Maryland at a place with long tables with paper on them.

Barbeque in NC

Barbeque in Texas

Agree with whole lobster at a lobster pound in Maine.

Fresh H&H bagels in NYC

Fresh Sourdough in the NW

Hot Krispy Kremes anywhere they are served

American Breakfast with hash browns, eggs, bacon in a diner

Hamburger in a diner

Steak in a fancy steak house (NYC does steakhouse very well.)

Traditional NC restaurant plate of just three sides. Plate must be divided and made from that cafeteria plastic to count.

Virginia apple cider doughnuts

Stop into any roadside local diner in Texas within twenty miles of the border and get a cheap breakfast plate with some of the best southwestern food you've ever had. Whatever the special is will be the best choice you can make. A lunch special at these places will also work.

That's off the top of my head of local specialties that were 100% worth it.


Seriously no to NC mush plates that’s just gross.

H&h bagels no absolutely no. They are barely ok. So ,many better options
This reads like a list of poor old white people food .

Except for your diners sure those are always great and NJ is where to go for goid diner food .

Texas at the border as well

A really great Key Lime pie. Had two in my life. One homemade, the other at a restaurant in Corpus Christi, TX.
