There are a lot of very New Mexico things green chili is the one everyone knows. Green chili cheese burgers are the bomb!

Even McDonalds has them here. The best fast food ones are from Whataburger. I think Whataburger does them in Texas as well. There are some famous places in San Antonio the Owl and the Buckhorn (they are ok, fries suck) and the shittiest one is in Hatch. It is called Sparkys and it just sucks so bad. And the attitude of people that works there sucks.

Any kind of burrito smothered with green chile, stuffed sopapilla smothered in gc, stacked enchiladas, Navajo taco, hamburgers with gc. It’s pretty hard to beat New Mexico style Mexican food.

This is true.

New Mexico flat (stacked, not rolled) beef enchiladas with Hatch red Chile sauce and an over easy fried egg on top.

Finish it off with a sopapilla with honey for desert. Esta buena!

I’ve traveled around for work quite a bit and in my eyes you can’t beat New Mexican food.

We had an old lady who ran a food cart on our site and she had the best enchiladas with red sauce. I’d eat that multiple time a week and it never got old.

I grew up in a Czech area and the local favorite was vomacka soup. I always add some extra vinegar to mine.

Grew up in German from Russian (Ukraine) country in ND. We made a LOT of head cheese, liver sausage, and potato sausage growing up. No fast food in the county I grew up in. The bakery still makes kuchen, blachenta, rivel, spaetzle, and knoepfla daily. The few small restaurants in the county rotate meals above along with cheese buttons, knoephla soup, fleischkuekle, borscht, kraut, etc daily. If you're lucky, your family has a good wedding kuchen recipe.

The local drink is straight to the point. Redeye (wedding whiskey). Which is basically Everclear, sugar, and water.

You really can't beat Conecuh sausage. In fact, I made some Dixie-crats with it last night (sausage link in a slice of bread, like a hot dog).

I'm from Columbus, Georgia where Coca-Cola was originally invented. Coca-Cola cake is delicious. Scramble-dogs were supposedly invented in Columbus at a diner called Lieutenant's.

Now that I'm in SC with family in Pawley's Island, can't beat the Pimento Cheese recipes from there.

I like to take some local SC shrimp, Conecuh Sausage, and fresh grilled corn mixed up with some cream cheese and half and half to make a fantastic corn dish. Not good for you, but delicious all the same.

For lunch today I had a huge plate of hash browns, sausage Pattie’s, fried eggs over easy, all smothered in green chile.

Fry sauce and it’s gross.

How dare you

 

[nodakian]

the Fleischkuechle that i used to always get at the Buckskin in Killdeer was phenomenal!!!

I forgot about that one. German pasty.

 

[fngTony]

We barrow from New Mexico, green chili aka Colorado ketchup.

 

[CorbLand]

How dare you

Oh I dare. Shits just not good. I do not and can not understand peoples infatuation with it.

Every time I get some, I dip one fry in it and remind myself that was a waste of a fry.

Finger steaks - Good with a cold beer
Fry sauce - meh, doesn’t do it for me

Funny story about fry sauce: we aren’t originally from ID (who is??) so we are ketchup with fries people. One of my daughter’s friends was over for dinner and I made fries. The friend looked at me straight in the eyes and said in the most disgusted tone you could imagine, “what, no fry sauce?”

You know how to spell chile correctly!

taverns around here do a huge business on fried chicken it's pretty damn good at most places here I have lived in CA and AZ and have yet to find it done the way these people do it here in north central IL

New Mexico food beats all other regional foods for sure.
We're known for seafood, cheese and jerky.

I lived in Spokane for quite a while... There it is tartar sauce on fries. Not sure if it originated at Zips drive-in (out of Tri-Cities) but at their restaurant it is popular. So much so, that other out of town joints, that didn't serve fish, had to start getting sides of tartar for people ordering fries.

 

[DooleyVT]

Maple creemees, warm cider donuts, sugar on snow, strawberry rhubarb pie and fiddleheads are some VT hometown favorites.

My Norwegian roots/relation have kept alive ham and kumla (potato dumplings) and kringle. Absolutely delicious and hearty food. Excellent hot or cold with black pepper and butter, by itself or sliced on bread.

The “Maid Rite” is an Iowa based “staple” with severely overpriced loose meat (seasoned ground beef) on a bun. I’ve never understood the novelty or how people willingly let themselves get gouged for them.

Come Iowa Sate Fair time you can get damn near anything battered and deep fried on a stick with a Busch Latte and side of ranch dressing.

Sonoran hot dogs in Southern AZ. They are really good after a few beverages

 

[Scottyboy]

Not much in Minnesota, maybe a juicy Lucy and beer?
