The Cheesy Western. Burger, with egg, pickle relish, pickles, onion (if you ask), and cheese. Good if you're drunk, otherwise blech.

You get all sorts of oddities around Chicago due to all of the immigrants here. It's hard to name just one. I guess the most famous odd thing is deep dish pizza since every visitor wants to eat it. Smelts are popular here, not sure if they are in other parts of the country.

Texas (and even different regions of Texas) are famous for a lot of culinary things, but I'm hard pressed to think of much that's "interesting" or "odd".
Enchilada gravy, perhaps? Various takes on queso (with the Bob Armstrong variant being my absolute favorite)? Frito Pie? |

I grew up in El Paso, they have something called Chico’s Tacos.
Rolled tacos in a tomato sauce covered in cheese. Man, I love those things, especially smothered in their green chili sauce!  Attached File |

Ah yeah, forgot about kolaches. In Houston that first pic is of kolaches. Yes, it's not traditionally correct, but those are kolaches in H-town. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I currently live in Houston. There is nothing that everyone in the country hasn't heard of already but I guess the most obvious would be fajita. Here in the little taquerias of H-town fajita means skirt steak though and you can get it made a myriad of ways. I used to enjoy a giant fajita quesadilla when drunk/hung over. I originally come from a Czech area and in Czech areas you have sausage rolls (kolbasnsik) and kolaches, which some folks think are sausage rolls but are a pastry more like a danish. Sausage rolls: https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/81824/4E43CC79-A92A-46DC-944C-613A906A9298_jpeg-898670.JPG Kolaches: https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/81824/4EBFB5B8-897C-40B3-92D0-F35C2FB1FC61_jpeg-898674.JPG |

Just realized, there is something unique to Houston that other folks may not have heard of and we are now in the season for it. Houston has one of the largest Vietnamese populations in the US and they have taken a shine to Cajun/Creole food. This time of the year there are Vietnamese crawfish boils going on. They use a lot of the same spices are Cajuns but add things like basil, lemongrass, a shit load of garlic, and limes instead of lemons. It may be available in other areas of the US now but it started here. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/81824/44D20590-C627-44BC-ABDD-C676C4DC13F0_jpeg-898720.JPG |

Yeah, north DFW. The food here is incredible (I'm spoiled for choices), but I really have to think hard to try and come up with anything really odd that's unique to the region. I even thought of Kolaches (Czech Stop FTW!!!), but I wasn't sure that was a Texas-specific thing. Or even all that weird, to be honest. They're definitely popular around here, though.

Porketta. A pork shoulder seasoned with common Italian seasoning. It is best slow cooked in a crock pot. Take the pork shoulder and butterfly it out, unrolling the whole thing. Season well with salt, garlic, basil, oregano, parsley, pepper. I've tried smoking them but the flavors do not pair well. Crock pot on low for like 8 hours. Let cool for an hour or so and reabsorb the juices. Often served cold on hard rolls with mustard.

Its traditionally served with cider donuts and pickles. I have no idea why. |

We've got carne asada fries here: a staple of the all-night drive-through Mexican restaurant. French fries, carne asada pieces, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream or pico de gallo or both.
I really like it, but it's stoner food. Someone had to be baked out of his damn mind from taking too many pot needles, with the munchies, to come up with the idea of throwing all of that crap into a styrofoam clamshell and selling it at the drive-through at 3AM. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It's kinda gross even to drunkards, although I haven't been in there in a few years. Just a really dingy dive with overpriced mini-hamburgers and chili that's soupy as hell (which is a crime in of itself!)
