A plate of beige with watery gravy and mushy peas
A giant tasteless breaded pork tenderloin sandwich (a flattened pork chop, breaded, deep fried, and placed on a way too small bun) and a Busch light.
Note that this isn't an endorsement, but its the bullshit my area is known for and it fits.
Cheesesteaks and yeungling
GO BIRDS
French fries and meth.
Käsespätzle and Spezi (das Original von Riegele)
Cincinnati chili and a rhinegeist.
Not today, FBI... Not today
my local area is typified by PURE CLEAN WATER
So that rules out most developed areas.
Shawarma and a Vodkow martini.
This is how we explain storm watches v. storm warnings, for reference:
Edit: Second choice would be a Killaloe Sunrise and an Old Style Pilsner. Both are ok, on the simpler side, and people often loudly argue that the fancier alternatives with more toppings and complexity are better.
Hol up. I’m in Nova Scotia / Halifax and our thing is the Donair apparently. How many Canadian cities food claim is shaved meat wrapped in a wrap type thing?
The differences are subtle, but important:
-Donair sauce is sickly sweet (imo, I hate donair sauce) and made with condensed milk.
-The spices used on the meat are different.
It's a good question, though - I've always associated donair with Halifax, and shawarma with Ottawa (it's more a ubiquity thing than anything else). Does any Canadian city lay claim to the gyro?
(I’m sorry Halifax, I also think the sauce is gross 😤)
Is that the same thing as the German/Turkish Döner?
Similar, but with differences (slightly different non-meat additions, often with a yogurt sauce rather than the condensed milk donair sauce).
Basically a Canadian variant of the döner kebab. The wiki entry has some useful background: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donair
Beer and fish, I guess
the region i live in is my apartment so I'm voting for dairy-free basil pesto gnocchi and an ice cold monster ultra white
Thin crust pizza with provolone cheese
Toasted ravioli
Gooey butter cake
Budweiser/Bud light
In my country, the most renowned chefs all work at a hardware store
Went to one the other day, no snags out the front. Devo
Around here I'd say beef brisket sandwich with sweet BBQ sauce.
... And of course a Dr. Pepper.

Philly: A cheesesteak, hoagie, or Italian roast pork (with broccoli rabe, roasted hot peppers, and sharp provolone cheese) sandwich, and a citywide special (traditionally a 12oz PBR and a shot of Jim Beam for $5)
Yuengs & Wings (which rhymes) would be another solid choice
For the kids, maybe a birch beer and a soft pretzel
Don't forget pork roll and scrapple
(Actually let's forget scrapple, it's disgusting)
scrapple is indeed disgusting, I'll take care of all the scrapple give it to me 👍
Green Chile, and various food items smothered in green chile, with a craft beer from one of the kajillion small breweries we have around here.
Lived in the Denver area for a couple years, I miss the green chili, even though I have a shit tolerance for spicy food.
Green chile is life.
Colorado?
Yup.
It's gonna be poutine isn't it? Or maybe ketchup chips. Anything but the fucking Caesar (why clamato????)

Pickled herring, new potatos, sour cream and chive, oh and strawberries.
At least during midsummer.
But on christmas we have pickled herring, potatos, sour cream, chive and cold smoked rain deer meat.
Sounds like Sweden, or one of its neighbors. Was I close?
Exactly right!
Hälsningar från andra sidan viken 👋
Nej men vad trevligt!
Hoppas ni får en riktigt bra sommar!
Thin, crispy, square cut pizza. And probably an Old Style. But I wish we were better known for our abundance of great craft beer.
There's a few tourism foods we're very well known for, but the locals would get the above choices.
Boiled crawfish and a cold beer. Or maybe turtle soup au sherry and a sazerac. Depends on the season.
