Looking for suggestions on local food around US

[dan411]

Hi all,

Im looking to compile some lists of local food around US, by city. However, it is rather hard in the US to pin point food thats local. Can anyone suggest some local food for their city ?


Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Your biggest problem is going to be cities that have culturally diverse neighborhoods. New York probably having the most.
