Fish and seafood well-prepared on all our coastlines; New York bagels, corned beef, pastrami; fresh produce in California--especially artichokes.

I'm from Baltimore, MD & love Steamed Crabs eaten on brown paper inside a restaurant or @ a picnic table by the water.  It's all yummy !!!  Also, most Baltimore restaurant have a good crab cake 

on their menu.  Don't forget to a glass of cold beer to enjoy with your meal.

I would love to visit Baltimore. I have only been to the airport on the way to D.C. But I want to spend at least a week touring the city. I love seafood which is in short supply in Idaho!

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!

  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.
