I live in London, Ontario, Canada. It is about half way between Toronto, ON, and Detroit, MI - we are about two hours from the border.

@karencooks - The Ozarks - cool! Would love to visit there some day.

@bareneed, London is cool! It's been probably 35 years that I've occasionally visited, and when I was little, Storybook Gardens was a great place to go with friends. :-)

Halfway between Vancouver, BC and Seattle, WA.

I live in small town Wisconsin, about 20 miles West of Green Bay. No place exciting, that's for sure!

And another St. Louisan originally from St. Francois County.

Flagstaff, AZ - a high-elevation smallish college/resort town 2 hrs north of Phx and 1 hr from the Grand Canyon

Born in Pomona CA, grew up in Washington DC, go to college in Chicago, and spending my third year studying in London (UK)! I'm really loving finding out about different kinds of British food. My boyfriend and I made cullen skink (a scottish chowder made with smoked haddock and mashed potatoes) a couple weeks ago, and it was awesome. He's threatening me with haggis next (he's not actually Scottish, but apparently has a weird fixation...). He claims it's really delicious, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to get onboard the whole oatmeal-inside-a-sheeps-stomach wagon...yikes

On an island... kinda. Really more of a peninsula, but people who name things around here aren't exactly up on proper geographical nomenclature. In Memphis, Tennessee.

I'm in West Hartford, Ct. halfway between Boston and NYC

@finsbigfan--That's not Longboat Key, is it? Beautiful place, if so. My husband is from Palmetto.

I'm in central CA, about 30 miles from Fresno, right smack in the middle of the state.

@moibec ~ We go to the Finger Lakes every other year. It is fabulous!

New Mexico. About an hour from Santa Fe and 2 hours from Albuquerque. High elevation here, much like joyyy in Flagstaff.

Colorado. Boulder is the closest town anyone's ever heard of. We moved here from Chicago and I've got to say that it was a bit of culture shock to see a heard of cows grazing across the street from the mall.

And adjusting to mile-high cooking has been interesting, too.

Albuquerque, NM, by way of Miami, FL. Culture shock, but after 3 years we are adjusting. Miss the Cuban restaurants and coffee.

A nudist resort in deep, deep south Texas, full of winter Texans during the season, quiet during the heat of summer. 30 miles from the Mexico border...tons of Tex-Mex food joints...and Chinese curiously enough.

During a pot luck we might experience food from French Canadians to Germans to mid-west folks, Southerners...and every thing in between.

Cultural hotbed of America (if you like college football, that is)...Auburn, AL.

Born in NYC, lived in LA, Texas, Florida, am now in the southeastern corner of CT...live there by the shore and do my grocery shopping in RI. Seems like I am always searching for good deli or 'que or Tex-Mex. Once it's in your blood...

I started following SE when I was living in Ontario, California. Now I'm back living in JAKARTA, Indonesia (hmmm... am I the second Southeast Asian here?)

I'm currently living in Cincinnati, Ohio (Clifton Gaslight, specifically) but wouldn't mind moving West.

@gingercookiewithlime: I went to college in Athens, OH...miss Casa, the Burrito Buggy and the cheap beer.

Lived back and forth between Richmond, Va. and Newport News, Va. Finally bought a house ten years ago and have been in the "Bad News" ever since. Looking to move back up towards Williamsburg(the real one in Va.) again in the near future.

Looks like a lot of us from da Calumet Region. I grew up on the Illinois/Indiana border, but got out as soon as I turned 18. Don't get me wrong, I still crave a good dog, proper pizza and an IB.

Silver Spring, MD

If you click on the persons signing name that will giver your their profile of where they are and what foods they like, etc.

Maryland Crab

I lived in and around Boston, Massachusetts (Cambridge, Medford, Malden, Somerville, Bedford) my whole life, until five years ago when we relocated to a town just southwest of Atlanta, Georgia. I miss New England, for sure, but there is something to be said for the beautiful Georgia springtime!

Born and raised in Lima, OH.
Now I live quite near Eugene, OR.

Grew up in Cleveland, OH. Philadelphia for college, and now live in Manhatten.

HOUSTON

South Lake Tahoe, CA... land of extremely overpriced groceries (but great scenery!) Seems that small mountain towns are pretty underrepresented on SE... I guess mountain people aren't known to be foodies;)

Normally I float between northern NJ and upstate NY (home/family and school) but I'm currently located in Wellington, NZ--quite far away! SE is just as tasty down here too...

Looks like there are three of us in London, Ontario, Canada. I'm here too!

@jdshd -- I went to high school in West Chester and we always played Lima. Do you know if they still have the Kewpies there? I loved that place!

i live in san juan, puerto rico

grew up in concord, ma -- land of the grape, walden pond, and louisa may alcott. (which is why i complain alton brown pronounces it wrong in his commercials. should be just like the word "conquered", not "conCORD!"

lived in washington dc, madrid, and london,

have been in west hollywood, CA for the last three years!

San Juan, Puerto Rico too!!!! I am glad to see a few Puerto Ricans out here in our foodie community.

Seafood Heaven!

@seitel-- where in northeast OK do you live? I was born in Bartlesville but moved at 5 yrs old. When I was in college my dad got transferred back to Bville with Phillips and they decided to stay forever. Beautiful countryside!

@ megannesta, I feel your pain and AMEN .... 1 state above you with our very own Concord that out of staters want to pronounce conCORD when it should be pronounced conquered! Write it down people... you will be tested

I split my time between my mother and father's houses. Mom is in Monmouth county, NJ (Holmdel, but don't get any ideas. We are not the stereotype) and my Dad lives just outside Flemington.

I go to school in State College, PA and live here for 8 months of the year.

London, ON people - I spent my early summers in London and Dashwood (400 people; too small to be on the map in those days!). My aunt owned a restaurant in Grand Bend; I can still taste her amazing butter tarts (question for discussion: raisins or no raisins?) Born in L.A., six years in OC, now in San Diego. Will never ever ever live where it rains too much or snows at all. It's 70 here today, and beautiful. Happy Spring, everybody!

Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Just moved to Long Beach, Long Island- from Greenwich Village in Manhattan. Before that, lived in NE Bronx.
Born and raised upstate in good ol' Mechanicville, NY- 1 mile square between Albany and Saratoga.

Vail, AZ - just south of Tucson, but should be moving back to the Dallas-Fort Worth area later this year.

Northern NJ (Morris Cty).

I live on a farm in Iowa, halfway between MPLS and Des Moines.

Originally from Boston, MA now in Belfast, N. Ireland

Holy Mackeral! What an interesting thread this is - I am amazed to learn that there are two other members from London, ON, as well as several from the rest of Canada. Thanks to @Karencooks for posting this and to all the people who participated.

Grew up in Paris, TX -- moved to Austin, TX to go to UT -- currently living in Redondo Beach, CA (Los Angeles for all practical purposes) -- hoping to move to Boson in the not so distant future!

Any other Santa Feans out there?

Born and raised in Pensacola, FL for most of my twenty-four years, but I'm stuck here in San Diego, CA for the next two turns around the sun. I miss grits! And sweet tea! You can keep your silly fish tacos, give me fried green tomatoes!

@megannesta, he says it like the plane, not the fruit. if someone said they were going to con-chord, nh i would look at them funny.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
The

Columbus, Ohio (German Village, to be exact)

Seattle native for 50 years but have been working in the Czech Republic for the last 11 years.

South Jersey, outside of Vineland

i seem to be the only turkish gal out there... reading from istanbul!

Bloomington, Indiana. It's a college town in southern Indiana. For a small midwestern town we have a great mix of food here.

Toronto, but born and raised in Ottawa, with a couple years spent in NYC and Jersey CIty.

Toronto, Ontario!

Raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, lived in NYC/Brooklyn on/off for five years, have spent the past 2 1/2 in Portland, OR. Awesome foodie town but not too many jobs for an art historian. :-(

Santo Domingo, Dom. Rep. and New York City (Gramercy Park to be specific). I was once wondering about the same thing. Thanks for posting.

I live in Queens, New York, as you can probably guess from my username. Western Queens.

Ybor City, Tampa, Florida

Born, raised, and educated in Providence and Warwick Rhode Island. Spent some years in Milwaukee but thank gawd I'm home now!

Weird, you don't see this much chat about London, Ontario too often! That's where I'm from too.

I like to see Canada representing! But let me add my name to the list of folk from London ON! I lived there for 13ish years, and am only down the street an hour or so now.

I am back fairly frequently and am always happy to see new restaurants open. When I first moved there in 1991, there was not many options for either fine dining or 'ethnic' dining...now I'm glad to see that there are more options of both, if only you get off the main drags (Wellington South etc)

I'm a mere hour or two away from you--in Mid-Misery! I'm 30 miles southeast of Jefferson City. I grew up in Idaho and Utah, then I married and moved to Boston. Big time culture shock! I loved living there. Then lived in Tempe, Arizona; El Centro, California (don't ask); and had a glorious 15 years in San Diego. I remarried, and my husband went to grad school at MU in Columbia. It has taken quite an adjustment to living in this small, rural town of 1600 people. However, we've been here almost two years and I'm still relatively sane. Don't know how much longer it will last, though. LOL!!

Originally from So Cal; our permanent residence is 30 miles east of Seattle (just east of a large computer company); but we are currently in the middle of a 2-3 year assignment in Israel. We're renting a house in Caesarea (closest major city is Haifa.)

*waves @ dove3579*

dbcurrie - tell me about it, sounds like the first time I got stuck behind a tractor on my way home from work, or the traffic jam on the highway the first day they put the lambs out to pasture in the spring. My favorite is the farmers that drive their tractors to the store for more beer because they're too drunk to drive a car!

Fresno CA chowhound here.

I'm in the burbs of Philly in Chester Co.
jcrisdo in orlando-where do you like to eat? Family is coming to Orlando on the 4th for a week and we're looking for good but inexpensive food like BBQ, breakfast, ethnic. Don't care much for the park food.

Blenheim, New Zealand -- over the "ditch" (ie. Cook Strait. For those that don't know - it's a country of 3 islands to the east of Australia) from cardamompod in Wellington, NZ

@MACDodge: my DH is from Queensbury

I am originally from Plymouth, MA.

But we are transplants to the culinary wasteland that is Cincinnati, OH.
