Whenever I'm flying to the UK out of Atlanta, I get a triple with fries before the overnight.


As for local food, I'd say gator or smoked mullet.

Wut?  Provel is probably the least plasticy cheese there is.  It basically turns into liquid.

You live near North Syracuse/Mattydale?

Whenever we go home (Liverpool) we pick up Hoffman dogs and a few bags of salt potatoes.
Usually from Wegmans!  
And some half moon cookies!  I miss that store.

The central Texas version of the Kolache (stuffed with jalapeno sausage instead of the traditional fruit) is about as close to a truly “local” dish we have here.

Price chopper aka market32 in NY started with them about two years ago.  I had never heard of them before.  Not sure what they are truly supposed to be but they are more expensive than a regular jelly donut and the dough seems a stale version of the regular jelly donut.  They might be screwing It up.


Utica has a sizable polish and Ukrainian community.  When traveling through the area it is the place to buy pierogies from the small polish markets.  Most of them are gone now as the old folks retire.  The second generation wants nothing to do with it.



For my contribution...

Crogan Bologna.   It is a ring type bologna that is for a rough description is bologna and kielbasa crossed.   Great snack tray with beer food of course.  The upstate pairing would be crogan baloney, local cheese curd and beer.   Best get your cheese curd fresh as people want it to squeak when you bite it.  Myself, I prefer the cheese curd aged beyond the squeak phase.

There is a hotdog joint in Marietta GA called Brandi's that has red hotdogs. They are soaked in some kind of industrial cleaner disguised as hot sauce, at least that's what it tastes like. I am not a fan but the place is always packed.

These days to a lesser degree, Koegel's hot dogs are also repeatedly requested.  Koegel's has upped their nationwide marketing and actually makes a summer tour with a few semi's of their products. The trucks never return to Michigan with left over product.  Word spreads quickly among displaced Michiganders that "The Koegel's truck is in town!!!"

We have them way upstate.  I forgot the place near Messina, NY.  TriTown Packing, I think.  A tad garlicky for all day burping.  And I like garlic.   Lots of hunters used to bring their deer there for processing into venison slim Jim’s.   I think they quit that service when they rebuilt after the fire.


Rochester has zweigels franks  upstate, they’re a normal reddish pink, not the bright red.   They also have great natural casing dogs.  Probably my favorite in NYS.  There are other but zweigels is currently the one in stiock across the state.


Hoffman’s is the other great natural casing dog of central NY.   I couldn’t remember the name but same another post it up. It’s as good or better than the zweigels depending on your mood.

Growing up in NE Mississippi we ate lots of slugburgers. They're made with a mix of flour, soy flour, and just enough ground meat to say they have meat in them. You deep fry them in pattys then when someone orders one, you drop the patty back in grease long enough to get it hot again.

They're delicious, but as with all things composed largely of flour, once you reach a certain age they sorta hurt your stomach as they swell up after you eat them.

A similar food we had there - hot tamales, but not the Mexican type. Mississippi hot tamales are made by mixing ground beef with masa flour and all the normal spices, rolling them out, then wrapping them in butcher paper or corn shucks, and boiling them. So, instead of a flour crust around some meat, it's all mixed together. Corinth, MS is probably the epicenter of modern 'Mississippi' hot tamale production and consumption.

They make GREAT road food, if you have a gazillion napkins with you. They're also great with beer.

Also, in north Mississippi - and surrounding states - all-you-can-eat catfish places are common. Some serve you at the table, some are buffet-style, some do filets and some do steaked or whole fish (almost always fried, of course). There are a few such restaurants but they seem much less common once you're more than, say, 50 miles out of Mississippi.

Now that we've lived in middle TN for several years I can't think of a single distinctive local food that we ever eat. Now I have a tinge of homesickness.

  Man. Haven't had a slug burger in years.
 In Amory, MS there is a hole in the wall burger place called Bill's. The meat is a proprietary blend passed from owner to owner and only known by them and the meat packer that supplies it since 1929. One of the previous owners sold out and opened Country Boy's across the street. To my knowledge those are the only two places on earth to get such a burger.  Rumor is its beef and pork blend. Extremely greasy but soooooo delicious.
  Traditionally, you get them "with" (mustard and onions) "or without"  If you don't tell them not to, they put "gravy" on the bun. Gravy is simply plopping then down in the grease on the griddle.
 Forever you could get those burgers, chips, and bottled Coke (pop or soda for you heathens) but they have started doing fries, made in store chips slathered in salt, and offering standard condiments. Only ferrenners and Yankees get them dressed though.
 Shit, now I gotta go Bill's after I get off work.

Red Hots are a semi-natural casing hot dog introduced in NYC by vendors such as Nadick's and Nathan's in the early 20th century, the casing is natural and edible but is formed from emulsified intestines. It is dyed red for appearance.

Most common hotdogs do not have a casing; they are cooked in a cellulose casing which is stripped before packaging for sale.

I've never seen a business fail to capitalize on it's pop culture references so badly (M.A.S.H. fame). The families that started it franchised locally then cut each other's throats in court trying to take over their shares.
