Question of the Day: What are your hometown favorite eats?

you cant live in the los angeles area and not try il tramezzino's chicken special sandwich (in beverly hills & studio city). bread, basil pesto sauce, provolone cheese, grilled chicken, and sun-dried tomatoes pressed in a panini maker and served hot a fresh and not to be believed. then after that you can end your meal with a croissant cut in half, slathered with nutellas and bananas and/or strawberries and then also treated to the panino press treatment. you will die of happiness and it will be worth it

PS: Crap still tastes like crap, even when cooked in a WOOD FIRED oven.

Picnic pizza? Barf. Bad food, bad service, bad prices.

My respect for Ed has just gone up another 10,000% for recognizing Sal and Carmine's as the best new york style slice in NYC, hence THE WORLD. I hope to see you there someday Ed, I usually get my slices after I move my car for alternate side parking.

There are a couple pizza places upstate that you would be interested in trying the next time you're there. Picnic Pizza: they have two locations, one in Kingston right off the thruway exit, and one in Saugerties, in the little strip of commercial area where the Grand Union used to be. They boast WOOD FIRED ovens, and make a mean neapolitan style pie.

My local fave for real sit down food, is PicNic (purely coincidental) between 101st and 102nd on bway. Very good food if a little pricey, but sometimes you just want quality.

Not a specific place: but near St. Louis you can find a unique and underrated type of bbq: bbq pork steak.

I'm pretty sure other New Englanders might have different answers (which is the sign of a truly local food, imho), but a frappe is ice cream and milk while a freeze is ice cream and soda water (and maybe syrup or other ingredients).

Sounds like a number of great places to eat--but please while in Florence do miss going to Vivoli for gelato. The best of the best--the melon, strawberry, lemon and pistachio are out of this world--just ask my 14 year old son who dropped a lot of Euro there during our trip last summer.
