Do you have a favorite dish/regional specialty that's served only/primarily in one part of the country? What is it and where would we find it?

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.

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

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

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!
