We aren't known for many things, really. Traverse City produces some of the best cherries in the US, so Cherry pies, tarts, etc are very common, but that's true enough everywehre.

Kellog's started his brand in Battle Creek (badass name, shitty town) MI, so you can attribute us to a lot of your favorite cold cereals, and the greatest invention in cereal kind....the rice krispy treat

Macinac (for some retarted reason pronounced Mack in awe) Island fudge is some of the best produced in the US

Michigan is also world famous for mint, of all things, so we make a mean mojito (it's manly, I don't give a fuck what you say!)

I'm from none of these niche areas however, I'm from Cedar Springs, and all were famous for in food is the guy who created burger king was born in Cedar. However, our area is settled primarily by German immigrants; and my grandma made the worlds best comfort food

Cincinnati, Ohio. A surprising amount of awesome local foodstuffs for a generally non-notable city. If anyone ever asks me to say what's cool about Cincinnati, I generally go to the food first.

Cincinnati chili is really not chili at all, but more a sort of meat sauce that you can put over spaghetti or hotdogs or french fries (it's not good by itself). It's fucking delicious and awesome and if you ever find yourself in Cincinnati, you should try it, though non-natives often don't like it. The most famous vendor of Cincinnati-style chili is Skyline Chili, and the most popular dish is probably the Cheese Coney (hot dog + mustard + onion + chili + cheese + bun. delicious):

Also, we have Graeter's Ice Cream, which is known for its extremely thick and rich texture, and for its delicious chocolate chips which can be enormous due to the process by which they make the ice cream. Seriously, you will come across chips in Graeter's Ice Cream that are big enough to be standalone chocolate bars. I feel like cities always have an "awesome ice cream place," but I think that I can legitimately say, free of bias, that nothing that I've had comes close to comparing to Graeter's in terms of quality (though Ben and Jerry's has more fun flavors).
+ Show Spoiler +

My dad actually shipped me 6 pints of Graeter's Ice Cream for my birthday this year. But then, after I put them in the freezer, they all melted. It was the first time in the school year that I'd used the freezer component of my minifridge, and the temp was set too high to freeze the ice cream. All 6 pints got completely ruined. Feels bad, man

It was a full month ago and it was just ice cream but I still get a physical feeling of sadness when I think about that. 6 pints of awesome ice cream from home just went down the drain. Ugh.

Another place that's not quite as notable is the Montgomery Inn. It's a restaurant specializing in ribs that has a barbecue sauce which is quite delicious. It's a city staple, but I don't think it's as unique or notable as my other two examples.

I live in So cal, beach cities. There really isn't a regional food here since it's so diverse. We have lots of asians, lots of latinos, and lots of whites. Go a town over and we have tons of thai, viet, etc. Sushi restaraunts are everywhere, mexican is everywhere. And of course there are lots of italian, greek, steak house, fast food places everywhere.

Not really "regional" but since some of my family are originally from Karelia, we eat Karelian hot pop and Karelian pasties pretty "often". By no means weekly, well maybe these pasties at least once a week..

Pasties

Hot pot (especially with potatoes)

Hotpot is really tasty, even though it might look bad. :-)

Portland is like Beer and Food cart food and cheap pizza/movies I suppose.

Although tons and tons of places have vegan food/vegan menus, exclusively vegan grocery stores, tattoo parlors, salons, etc. So that's a pretty big deal, It's a big change moving here from Vegas where it was hard to be a vegetarian when eating out.

Others may have different ideas. But in my area its Butter Burgers and Frozen Custard.

Thank you Culvur's!!!!

Doesn't hurt I'm related to the founder

I didn't even realize Culver's didn't exist here until Wax turned around and asked me what a butter burger is after reading your post. Now I'm pissed. They're everywhere in both Wisconsin and MN.

Halal cart food: Chicken and Lamb Gyro over rice, with the mysterious and ubiquitous "white sauce." Salty, greasy, satisfying. They've destroyed hot-dog vendors to the degree that they're pretty much only in touristy areas now.

I'm from Ohio, and that's about all we have that I would consider to be regional.

and they're not good

Wtf you take that back I overdose on these things multiple times every year. What's not to like - peanutbuttery inside and chocolate outside?

Also, as mentioned above Graeter's Ice Cream and Skyline Chili are probably the biggest chain-staples around Cincinnati. But you committed a cardinal sin matjlav - you forgot goetta!

I'm from Northern California (sometimes referred to as NorCal). The only thing that really stands out here is In N Out burgers and the abomination of Japanese culture known as the California roll.
