willi4 Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Don't forget dessert! How about a lovely Northeast snowcone? Grab a cupfull of fresh snow an douse in natural maple syrup from the northeast NY maple region for a real adventure, go to the town of Marathon, NY (near Ithaca for you using a Cornell reference, south of Syracuse for those of you using SU)--have some Maple snow, eat at Mijo's, then off to the Three Bear Inn for a beverage.................ahhhhhhhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Cid Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 This has is great, but we need to fill in the blanks. We need a bit more help from the throng. I live outside DC, but I don't know what passes for traditional food here, I'm a transplant. How 'bout some DC cookin? And there's no one here from Atlanta? C'mon guys, help a brother out!

Kid Cid Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 Now the people from Denver have to eat something besides bull and sheep testicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bier Meister Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 i'll have to take some shots in the dark and go by assumptions......  Atlanta cornbread, grits, fried chicken, etc ...... southern home cooking  Houston texas=cattle....gotta be a lot of steaks served...and texas is also known for bbq.  DC i've only been once.... found the seafood to be very good shrug   edit: from another post: Denver  Steak and game. buffalo is mighty good.

I'm Wisconsin born, but grew up in Alexandria (just outside DC for those not familiar). I can't think of a regional food. Everyone here is from somewhere else.

KevinL Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Since Houston is famous for the space program, maybe you should serve Tang ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willi4 Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Well, as for DC---if the politicians are cooking, them how about a heaping helping of Bullsh*t Pie? I heard they supersize every order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Kid Cid: How 'bout some DC cookin? Back in the day, the Skins had the Hogs=Pigs=Pork=Bacon.  Kid Cid:And there's no one here from Atlanta? I've been to Atlanta a only a couple of times for sporting events, so I'm no expert, but a couple of foods stick out. Chick-fil-A Chicken is everywhere, plus is the sponser of the Peach Bowl. I love me a chick-fil-a chicken sandich'!And while were on the topic Georgia is known for it's peaches - so we could have peach pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Bier MeisterDC i've only been once.... found the seafood to be very good shrug Exactly, since the "Washington" Redskins are actually in Maryland, they have lots of seafood in the tailgate parties.

Kid Cid Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 OK last one. What the hell do they eat in Indianapolis???? This could be one of the more immediate needs from this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinL Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I wrote my neice who lives in Indy and works for the NCAA. Here is her reply. Â I have to admit that there is a very good reason why there is no entry next to Indy. We are the home of the chain restaurant. I can't think of anything this town is known for. I like the idea and the list though. Our assistant is Indiana native so I will ask her though she is out of the office sick today. All the rest of us are transplants and not to enamored of the the local food scene to tell the truth. Â So I guess if the Colts win this week, you order out from Applebees?

Lugar Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I've lived in Indiana my whole life, and everyone is right. Indiana is the 'melting pot' of food. We have a little of EVERYTHING and nothing to call our own. Â Aside from roasted ears of corn and turkey legs, I can't think of anything else I see around Indiana that I don't see much of anywhere else.

justin Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Kid Cid: OK last one. What the hell do they eat in Indianapolis???? This could be one of the more immediate needs from this list. They do have some well known steakhouses (like every major metro area). St. Elmos comes to mind. Also, after the Colts whooping of the Broncos in the opening round of the playoffs - two weeks ago, I can recall Peyton saying that he just wanted to go to a certain restaurant and eat....something...but I can't recall.

Furd Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Kid Cid: OK last one. What the hell do they eat in Indianapolis???? This could be one of the more immediate needs from this list. When I think of Indy, I think of the Motor Speedway. (You know you're a redneck when... loco )Â Anyways, what type of grub do they serve at the Speedway? I'd think that if dem Hoosiers had regional grub, you'd find it there. Â Corn pone perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 However, if there is an interesting local cuisine, then it is one based upon the good, wholesome, fresh ingredients that are produced in the surrounding area. Indianapolis Hotels and City Guide  yawn sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABearWithFurniture Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 lmao...who put Oakland with (see San Francisco)???...that's like comparing tartar sauce to cheerios. Those 2 cities may only be 10 miles apart but they might as well be on 2 separate planets. Oakland is best known for it's fabulous soul food cafes, mexican restaurants, and in several of it's more colorful neighborhoods, lead based paint chips (more commonly known as bullets)...

wiegie Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Lugar: Aside from roasted ears of corn yep, there you go... corn this link is pretty funny. Check out the number of Indianapolis recipes they have listed.  This one is funny too.  also not good  scroll down to the link to "Indiana Recipes"  It appears your only option may be Indiana Dill Bread.

Lugar Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Something else (thanks to my wife reminding me)... Â Pork Tenderloins. The type where the tenderloin is like 4 times larger than the bun. I used to have those when I was a kid and still get them at lunch sometimes. It's definatley Indiana food. Â As far as what someone else asked (what they serve at the Speedway): Tenderloins, Turkey Legs, Roasted Corn Ears are big items. Along with the typical stuff (elephant ears and the like) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
