20. Texas-style barbecue brisket (Texas)
“Beyond the smoky tastiness of all barbecue, the virtues of the Texas-style barbecue brisket are as follows: It is very large. The end.”
If you have a BBQ brisket that has a smoky taste, you are doing it wrong.
The only MM I know of is an Ice cream bar similar to an Ice Cream Sandwich but a lot thicker.
" In last night's Blue Jays-Twins game, three Toronto relievers combined to bring you this disgusting eighth inning: walk, walk, sac bunt, walk, wild pitch, walk and wild pitch, stolen base, walk and wild pitch, stolen base, walk, walk, single, walk, strikeout, groundout. It was remarkable, really.
If you're keeping score, that's six runs on one hit, with eight walks sprinkled in. The 12 batters that came to the plate swung a total of 10 times. Of the seven times ball met bat in the inning, three were on bunt attempts.
I read that and it is completely inaccurate. You won’t find anything matching this description at Roberto’s or any of the other “to’s” in SoCal.
Agreed with a large number of them....Only gripe is with the Colorado dish...NEVER would a chocolate chip cookie be the signature dish. A true Coloradoan will tell you that the signature dish is a black and blue steak....Colorado raised of course and dry aged before cooking (that’s grilling to the rest of the world)
Funny how in one state they are called pasty and in another they are hand held meat pies....difference between Welsh and German heritage I guess
The Chicago deep dish meat and cheese pie is good, but does not deserve to either be called “pizza’ or be #1 on this list. Also, NC BBQ over STL or Memphis? Ridiculous.
The pork tenderloin from Indiana is also under-rated. It’s a “never miss” item for me when I’m out that way.
Ugh—Chicago-style pizza at #1, over the likes of crab cakes and jumbo?
Then a Maine lobster roll all the way down at #24, just below Hawaii’s spam breakfast and above Montana’s bull testicles?
What kind of heathen dared take on the task of this list without, apparently, sufficient tatebuds to differentiate between hot dogs at #11 and the first barbeque dish pulling up at #13?
Say the name "Kentucky" to anyone anywhere in the world and unless they're aboriginal pygmies living on grubs and monkey droppings in the rain forest they will respond with "fried chicken".
The real thing, not the pressure cooked grease balls the Colonel has made so world famous, has two not-so-secret herbs and spices, salt and pepper, brined chicken double flour coated, fried in lard in a cast iron skillet. The aroma alone tells everyone within a mile of the kitchen that dinner's a'cookin'.
My business colleagues in Toronto tried to get me to eat some poutine. No how. No way. I'd rather eat cold Manhattan style clam chowder.
I grew up in NH and was never in my life subjected to poutine—I take it you live in Manchester or up in Coos County?
bttt
Lobster roll would be #1 in my book, with crab cakes #2.
Not on the list but Maine's official treat is Whoopie Pies. Similar to Moon pies depending on who makes them.
I like scrapple too. I am having some for lunch today with fried eggs maybe some leftover fried rice and some kimchi.
I agree hawaiian breakfasts are great. Also like pokey which you can get in the safeway deli there.
That would be "Casino comp" -- whatever is on the menu that you like in the place that comped your dinner so you would gamble there.
Wow - great catch.
Filipino food - the best. Pancit, Adobo, Lumpia, oh my.
“9. Stacked enchilada with green chile (New Mexico)”
Though NM enchiladas are superb, it is New Mexico chile that is to die for! The question shall always remain “red or green?”
