Tex-Mex. You just can't get it done right outside of Texas. Even "authentic Mexican" is shite. What's really good is the barbacoa and lengua that you'll find in the small taquerillas in the more Mexican parts of Texas.

Whole fried bream/crappie/bass/catfish seem to be pretty much limited to the rural southeast and midwest.

Crackling cornbread is, I'm sure, pretty much limited to the deep south. Collared greens as well.

I'm not really sure how common eating biscuits covered in cane syrup is, but I do know that good cane syrup can be hard to find in some places.

When I think rice pudding, its cooked on the stove with the milk being cooked, and usually it has some rice flour in it to thicken it up. The sugar and milk and butter all cooked and thickened like regular pudding.

tortas are pretty common in authentic border jumper ran mexican restaurants.


Went to a Honduran restaurant in Austin and they had some dishes and all sorts of stuff cooked with Bananas and the peels that I'd never heard of.

What part of Texas? Haven't seen this one, but I've had poutine in Montreal, which is fries with brown gravy and cheese curds. I also have a close friend from WV who eats her fries with gravy, but other than the poutine from Canada, I don't remember ever seeing it on a menu.


Amarillo, I want to say. My dad worked in Colorado a lot so we either drive the 70 route though Kansas or the southern route texas. Anyway, just remember waitresses in texas asking me if I wanted my fries "wet". After having them that way.... Yes... Yes I do!

St Louis is known for toasted ravioli. It's probably the greatest thing in the world. Its starting to make its way into other cities. When you order you gotta say toasted ravs, say ravioli and they know you're a newb.

I get that in my frozen food section.

Made fresh seems delightful though.

Yeah, they've started making it to grocery stores frozen food aisles in other parts of the country... but nothin is like the real freshly made ravs.

Those may have been something local that went national... But everyone knows about them now. No knock on their awesomeness though.

They were a local secret for over 50 years.. its just in the last few years they can be found outside of STL. And they're still pretty regional, and its really rare to find them on a menu anywhere outside of the MO.

I've had white BBQ in central MS. I use it when I cook Mexican related dishes. It goes really well with a salsa.

My grandmother used to fix biscuits that you'd eat with Karo syrup and butter.

Another one I forgot about is shoofly pie. Seems to be common in central and eastern PA. I'm not sure about other areas, but I never ran across it growing up in the south.

For the record, I've had it a couple of times because of how much the locals talked it up, and it honestly reminded me of congealed motor oil in a crust.

Skyline > Gold Star and it is not even close

Burgoo you get now is not real burgoo. Real burgoo was made with game meat from the day of hunting. Squirrel, rabbit, groundhog, and the like and it was really good. Now it is store meat like ham and chicken and more bland.

Ale 8 is a local drink and slaw dogs seem to be found in southern KY and northern TN.

That's not just Cincinnati. It's NKY too.

It's also not just chili. It's chili that has chocolate and cinnamon in it... in small doses. That shite is money.

You can get it frozen or in cans here in GA, but I wish that Skyline or Gold Star would open up a restaurant here in Atlanta. There are definitely enough transplants to support one.


Yeah, the cans are usually at kroger(Cincinnati based), but the frozen stuff sucks big time. doesnt even taste close to the same IMO

I have the damn skyline song stuck in my head now
