When you’re in Kentucky, be sure to have the delicious and decadent Kentucky Hot Brown sandwich.  And an Ale-8-1 soda pop.  If you’re up Maysville, Kentucky way, seek out a Transparent pie or tart.  Definitely Kentucky and definitely tasty!

I love them all.  Partial to good southern food, and next would be authentic Mexican. 😋

As a Texan, I have to say Tex-Mex. I can eat it anytime.

Have lived most of my life in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. I grew up enjoying Chicago Style Hot Dogs from Portillo's & still try to grab one every now & then. My second favorite...the original Red Velvet Cake recipe from The Waldorf in New York. My grandmother made it on special occasions & taught me how to make it. It has also become a loving favorite of my husband who always has requested it for his birthday. My third food love...Texas style BBQ! I can never get enough of it when I visit my sister living outside of Austin.

  1. Definitely Indian Fry Bread from my home state of South Dakota with honey and powered sugar.
  2. Milk Street Cafe at 50 Milk Street in Boston.  The best soups and sandwiches and breakfasts.  You see, Milk Street Cafe is 100% kosher with three kitchens working at once; dairy, meat, and pareve.

I’m from Massachusetts, so clam chowder comes to mind.  Living in Maine for 64 years, so I have to say Clam Bake lobster, corn and steamers.  Actually, lobster in any form!
