Well, they could always stop at Nick Tahou's for a Garbage Plate Special, get back on the NYS Thruway westbound and drive 65 miles to eat a beef on Weck.

Question of the Day: What movie has the best dinner scene?
I'm with Alaina on this one. That scene in "Tampopo" is wonderful.
Do I need to wash the apple I got from the farmer's market?
I'm a manager at a farmers' market. Trust me you insult no one by washing the fruits and vegetables. Even if the farmer washed the apple before he or she brought it to the market, you have no idea how many people picked it up and put it back down. Why increase your risk of getting the flu or a cold? Always wash your fruits and vegetables.

I'm in the Rockies (specifically, Wyoming) and they left off at least one definite regional specialty: Rocky Mountain Oysters, anyone?

okay, I'll have to redeem my little state...what about boudin balls, pistolettes (pistolette bread stuffed with seafood mixture in a cream sauces then deep fried), tasso (okay you maybe able to find this other places)...all from cajun country (southeast Louisiana). Or what about Louisville's hot brown or rolled oysters???

They chose the eponymous Buckeyes for Columbus, but overlooked the delicious Sauerkraut Balls from Akron--delicious rounds of sauerkraut and corned beef breaded and deep fried. They're just about the only think I miss from home.

From the coal region around Shamokin, PA: faggots, soupies, and Polish pidgeons!

malenky: Like I said, their map highlights items that haven't spread beyond their traditional regions. However bad non-NO gumbo, po'boys, or muffaletta might be, they've certainly reached a wider audience. (Think Philly cheesesteaks as an example.)

I thought other places have half-smokes, but clearly I am wrong. Whatever though. DC Half-smokes are delicious. I'm partial to mumbo sauce, that mystery wing sauce that can only be found in DC. There's a mumbo bbq sauce in Chicago, but I guarantee you that it's not the same thing by a longshot.

Pardon my ignorance: Bread in a can? Boston brown bread, or is there something else by that name?
