Roast pork with broccoli rabe and provolone in Philly
Hot lobster roll with butter on a toasted roll
Brisket and banana bourbon pie at Franklin Barbecue in Austin
Frank Pepe pizza with gorgonzola, spinach and mushroom and also pizza with clam and bacon

This. Hot lobster roll drenched in butter is so much better than mayo based lobster roll.

Yes! Connecticut style>Maine style

I mean, anything you skillfully fry can be tasty, but no, they're not great.

In addition to the many great ideas so far, porkroll in NJ. Ideally, porkroll, egg and cheese on a hard roll. Much, much better than scrapple.

Also, Manhattan clam chowder is far superior to New England clam chowder [ducks].

I had a long term boyfriend from Buffalo. We used to go to a Friday Fish fry at a dive-y restaurant that billed it as their "Anacin Fish Fry"--for your haddock. Harhar. Anyway it was awesome.
